Off to the Marine Corps Martahon this week

Greetings Running friendss,

This week I am off to the 34th Marine Corps Marathon. This is my deferment from last year due to my stress fracture. I have been quietly running and training and getting ready, following my training plan, and putiing in good quality mileage.

I did have some weeks where I missed 3 long runs. Since I have been training smarter, I feel that I ma now as ready as I can be.

So, this Saturday I drive up to D.C., get my number and off I go. I was extremally fortunate to get a hotel less than a mile from the finish line -- very convenient though I did have to make reservations back in March.

With taper in progress, I will update everyone on the final results next week.

Until then,

Run Happy!
