I've now run about 100 miles since I started training 5 weeks ago - I've run 24 of those miles in the last 5 days! I've lost 7 pounds since I strarted and 13 pounds since my heaviest weight this winter. I'm down to 190# which is heavy for a Marathoner and about 30 pounds heavier than I weighted when I ran track in college. I expect to weight between 170 and 180 pounds on race day late July - still heavy for a Marathoner but a good "fighting weight" for me.
I'm feeling pretty good about how my training is proceeding. I've had a few minor strains as my old legs have adjusted to running again, but I feel healthy now. I expect to be ready for the Avenue of the Giants Half Marathon coming up May 6th and then the Mt. Tam. Boar Ridge 18k 6 days later.
Our dog Squeak needs a lot of attention but still seems to be doing great.
