been to long

Hello,

Sorry it has been a month since my last update, way to long and this delay is due to my laziness so sorry for that. What have I done in the last month. Well my running volume has been great on week and then crappy the next week. The demands of work and family have been tough but most importantly I have given in to the pull of saying "I will do it later" and that is the biggest culprit. Some updates, I am not running any half marathons. My friend who was going to run Portland with me has backed out and my plans got nixed for the Baystate Half Marathon due to a conflict with plans my wife made. So I decided that I didn't need an official race to prove my existence and thus I am going to stay home and run 13.1. I have been running mostly trails since I prefer the solitude. The weather for the end of August was brutal, the humidity was almost unbearable. Once the humidity vanished I noticed a giant jump in my pace compared to the same effort I was running in with terrible humidity. I have also acquired a pair of Viabram FiveFinger KSO's (http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/products/products_KSO_m.cfm) and I have worn them twice for runs under 5 miles in the woods. I like the feel of them but I am not sure if my 220 lb frame is read for any distance longer then 5 miles. So right now I moving forward with 25-30 miles per week with a 90-2 hour run on Sunday's and 3-4 runs during the week. I am looking to add some mile repeats to my schedule with the goal of getting up to 5 before 2010. One last thing, I am throwing my hat in the ring to run the 2010 Boston Marathon again for the same charity so I am glad to have that on my calendar.

Cheers,
Tim
