15 Miles

I ran 15 miles today and it felt like a long distance training run. I'm running the Yonkers Marathon in 8 weeks and now is the time I put in the work. I've been doing an O.K. job with training this year. I find myself breaking a marathon into 3 parts. The first 9 miles, the second 9 miles and the last 8.2 miles. The first 9 miles always feels like I'm just warming up. I go at an easy pace for me. The second 9 miles is about trying to keep up the steady pace I want to go at. And then the last 8.2 miles end up feeling like a battle of attrition. When I've run a marathon well, those last several miles are like a countdown to the finish. My main goal is to finish under 4 hours and a training run like this morning will help to finishing the marathon strong.

Moving

I was moving this morning when I ran 7 miles. 8 more weeks until my marathon run. Tomorrow I plan on a 15-Mile practice run. If I don't do that I'll ride my bicycle.

Job

I don't talk about my job too much since I'm in the hotel industry. It's based on confidentiality and giving the guests the best in hospitality. I try to take a creative approach to my work. It has elements of theater where the Front Desk can be a stage. People, places & things. Very noun of me.

Running Shoes

With 8 weeks to go for my running in the Yonkers Marathon, I'm thinking about getting a new pairs of sneakers. I like the ones I have now. They are light and I've had good results in my races this year with them. But the soles of the the running shoes are very firm and I'm thinking I need more flexibility for my heels. I have seen a pair of sneakers at the sporting goods store that I really like so if they have it in my size then I might just get them.
