Well, had to write something on 12/12/12. I haven’t been very dedicated to my journal this year or any type of blogging. I do reflect mentally a lot of the time, however. I guess part of the reason I have done less writing is that things are good. Guess I should always also reflect in writing on the good as it is a reflection of gratitude. This has really been a great year. The extended family is doing well and personally I have done better about meeting goals this year that most any. My running mileage is higher that any year in recent history if ever. I think this is an accomplishment at 53. I have been more consistent this year. Probably would have had much higher mileage last year than this had I not had a femur stress fracture, which pretty much limited my running to half a year. I am however this year doing enough to stay in excellent shape and keep my head “right”. I must say that I am extremely proud of both my son and daughter. Rad has really done well participating in spo

Well, I had a good day. Ate well and had a good run and workout at the Y. Life is good

Four miles plus today at about a 9:40 pace. Cooler and breezy at Long Hunter by the lake this afternoon, made for a great run. The deer there are so tame I just run right by them feeding and they do not move. Life is good. If there were anything I would like to change I just can't imagine what it would be.

Well, after being down for the summer and fall with a Femoral Stress Fracture, I am back up and kicking again. Have my eye on a Half in the fall and training now to build a good base prior to starting training for the half. Ran 10K training yesterday in under 2 hours around a 9:35 or so pace. My leg feels pretty decent. I am going to be really cautious for the next couple of months concentrating on a good base, then start a training program just for the Half. The way it appears now, the start of the training program will be less stressful and a drop possibly than what I will be doing just prior. Have dropped about 5lbs or so from my "Winter" weight and would like to drop at least 8 more prior to the Half. I want to keep a weight around 145-147, but under 150 regardless. This will allow me a better chance of running and keeping injure free.
