Running Totals for 21 Aug 09
With 4 more days of running to go, I am slowly creeping to that 650 mile mark. I figure I will try to run as many miles this week so I won't have to kill myself next week over the last three days of running. It is nice to be getting close to the end because I definitely need the break. My legs could REALLY use the break. I don't want to have achy legs for my whole trip home. Also when we get into Baltimore on the 3rd of Sep., we are going to check into our hotel room and then head down to Camden Yards and watch the Yankee's play the Oriole's. That will be a nice little rest stop on our way back to Japan. I am looking forward to that. Today I ran 8.5 miles, burned 1,494 calories, and I went for 86 minutes. It was a pretty good run except that my legs are pretty much done. I think that 650 miles over 4 months is quiet a bit for me but I'll live. I hope everyone is ready for the weekend. Until next time...

We are glad that you are getting so close to going home. I'm sure it is a relief for Heather and you. I hope you can do the ball game. Your break from running will do your body good. I had to tweek Hal's program again. I took yesterday off because of my allergies, my left knee and my body felt exhausted. I did the 5 miles race pace today, 6.01 miles which took 65 minutes and burned 1120 calories. Tomorrow I have a 13 mile long run scheduled. I went to Armstrong yesterday and he gave me a Kenalog allergy shot which I hope will help. I also got in 10 hours of really good sleep which I hope will also help. I think his training program is doable with some tweeking. love and miss you dad
I really feel bad we didn't get to talk that much last night/morning. I really enjoy our talks. I am glad it is getting close for you. I still am not up to par with this bug and it has really kicked the crap out of me which has me worried about the flu season that hasn't started yet. I will get the flu shot this year and keep my fingers crossed. I really don't to have you come home for my funeral, just ready for that yet. Well, anyway, I love and miss you tons. Be safe. Love ya, Mom
