Second Week is the Toughest...So Far.

I wish I could say that running was easy this week.  Sadly, it wasn't.  

Been very cognizant that this is the moment when people start shortchanging their previous goals and walk them back.  I am determined to continue this quest.  Again...To remind myself.  I am running this marathon in October for a number of reasons.  The Goal of a marathon can keep me on track for the goal of better health.  ALSO, seeing that I am 52..and going to be 53 in October, I am not sure how many of these opportunities I am going to have to run a marathon.  Like my son says, I am closer to my death, than I am to my birth.

To start off the week, I ran my 2 miler on Sunday...which will be the day I run the long run for the week from now on.  Here is what I did.

• Set my schedule for Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.  With my new job, I figured that weekends would be better for running.
• Set an appointment to see the podiatrist.  Ya see, I did some amateur surgery on my big toes...i sometimes get obsessed with the corners.  I dug up some shrapnel in there, and I think I made matters worse.  now, as it seems, I may have infected my "Sergeant Hulkas"
• Still trying to narrow down my music choices, as I seem to run better to certain music.  Any suggestions are welcomed.
• Its friggin cold out there... 19 degrees was the low this week, and 10 degrees was the low last week.  Cannot wait 'til spring.
