Update

Well, I thought I needed to post something as I haven't posted anything in quite some time. My running has been going well. Two weeks ago I spoke at a men's retreat for a local church from New Jersey on how to live in relationship effectively with one another. I didn't get a long run in that weekend and ended up having a 4 day lay off. That's a direct result of having my passions running more towards loving and serving other people and wanting to use my time more effectively than running around in the woods. So, that only lasted 4 days, till my next run. I have been running consistently, though getting in my long runs has been hard since missing that one. I have some wicked tendinitis in my left achilles that has been bothering me. I am wearing my old shoes starting today to aid it. Still keeping after the Van Aaken Method. I almost ditched the llow hr training however after it went up to 70 degrees and my pace dropped by a minute. I was back on track however after it got cooler again. Pace is currently around 10:45/mile average hr of 133. 

   My goal has changed from running a 100 miler to being able to be fit enough to run in the woods at an easy pace with a low hr in order to do the fun events. I'll post later as I have to go put my hour run in. I missed yesterday. I will plan on doing a long run tomorrow as I have the day off.
