Ok guys you all sound like you are off to a great start. Monte, 7 miles way to go. I got in 5 tonight bad knee and all, felt pretty good. Last 8/10ths is all up hill. Heck of a finish for every run. Just a couple of reminders from the old geezer who has logged a couple of miles in his life. Don't over do it in the beginning. We've got 4 months to go, we don't need any injuries or people getting burned out before we ever get to the race. So pace yourself, plan your week around different courses to run. One day go long the next short and build your average mileage as you go. Make sure you have a pair of good running shoes, poor shoes are the leading cause of injuries and problems. For you less experienced runners, learn to listen to your breathing and run in rhythm to it. Learn to use your breathing as a pace setter and you will find that you get into the groove sooner and stay there longer.
You guys are great! Keep the excitement and the enthusiasm going and enjoy the journey.
The old geezer
