Got my long run in before the #HWI gathered. My #Endomondo plan called for 13 and of course I put in the extra .1 miles to make it a half marathon. #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon

I hate it when the lack of having a bathroom is the cause for a DNF on a Saturday long run, today was another one of those. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GroundhogMarathon #RiverBankRun
For many in Africa it is a long and sometimes treacherous road to get to the nearest place for water.

A real example of the saying, “Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and feed him for a lifetime.” It was a pretty good recovery run today. I was happy to have such a good pace after…
Another indoor #treadmill interval run, not because of the cold but because I wanted the traction to hit the fast interval pace targets. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun
It was good that I had a week of blistering cold Minnesota running which pretty much prepared me for the colder weather we’ve had this week. This morning was a shorter interval run, but the 20 minute high intensity interval pretty much set me up to only focus on the run, and the upcoming Groundhog Day Marathon. I’m trying to just trust my training is preparing me like it should but the longest I’ve ran since the last marathon was 18 miles, which is 8.2 miles short. Again, I need to keep my focus on merely finishing and not let myself get caught up with anything else. I can’t deny that it would be great to beat my last marathon time, but I can’t let…
