Marathon: My personal journey

All this week, I rode my bike through the hills to get to my running spot. It was great "going" to the run and on the way back it was all up hill. What a great workout!

This could be a new angle for me in training. YAHOOO

Rest in Peace. I loved your inspiration. May we all use it to be better.

Space is limited. I told my team that I would limit my baggage to a backpack. It just arrived tonight.

Here is a person modeling it. This is a special bag just for my shoes!

Oh yeah.

It's hard to believe, but it's race week for team HGH. I am excited to run with this team of great people. This week, I will focus on the following:

Hydrating (loading up on extra water)
Stretching (the miles are adding up)
A yoga session or two, it helps with strength, stretching and the mind
Planning for race day (more on this later)
SLEEP!
Fueling will be critical this week.
Running some miles this week*

*this week is not like most weeks for me, I will still be loading up some miles and will likely take Friday off or take a light run.

GO team HGH!

In a couple of weeks, I am running a 75 mile relay (the market to market) with the greatest relay team ever assembled. This group of people is awesome and I can't wait for the race.

The race is going to be awesome. We may not be the fastest bunch, but we will have a good time.  This weekend is shaping up to be really nice, I did a long run this morning and felt great. Have a great weekend!
