Sweat365 - Move more - every day!
I’m taking the week off work and off training. I plan on taking walks with Murphy and that’s about it. This is hard for me because I am one of those people who can’t sit still. My closets will be more organized I suppose. This is a good thing because I am having house guests in a couple of weeks.
Although I got a late start, I’ve been a serious runner since 1994. I ran my first marathon in 1995 on my 30th Birthday. It’s been my goal to run the Boston Marathon since then. I missed qualifying by 12 minutes that year. I needed to run 3:40 and ran 3:52. Running in the most prestigious marathon, is the ultimate for most runners. The fact that you have to qualify, only fueled my competitive juices.
Over the next 9 years I ran 6 more marathons. I love running so much that I became a personal trainer and running coach in 2001. I continued to train and came within 4 minutes of my goal in 2003, when I ran 3:49. I was seriously hoping to qualify in 2004, but it didn’t happen. I had flare ups of plantar fasciitis off and on since I began running. In 2006 I ran 5 half marathons. Apparently this was too much for my body to handle. My plantar fasciitis became acute. I had to take time off to heal. (more...)

If you get bored, you could always make a start on our house too. Phil was in tidying mode about a year back, and when I offered him the fantastic opportunity of tidying a genuine British office, he started going on about “send airfare”. No idea what he meant by that, but anyway, he never turned up . . . I’m sure you’re a whole lot more reliable!
Of course, you could just take it easy for a week.
darn, karl beat me to offering up another house for you to organize. although i am much closer…
enjoy the down time, it’s as important as the training and almost harder to do!
You deserve the time off! Hey, congrats on your participation in Boston. That is an amazing achievement! It is a great marathon, so much fun as a supporter, I used to live in a town on the route! Your story inspires me and makes me think that some day………..
LOL. This weekend was the first vacation I took in years. It was my son’s birthday and we went to Disneyland in 102 degree heat and walked all day
