This week of training notched back a bit.  Partially because of the race this weekend (and associated travel tomorrow), and partly because of going to a concert – but according to plan.

Today I’m going to talk about benchmarks.  My last post was spurred by a conversation with Matt Amman, today’s is spurred by a side …

First a brief update on training.  Running is progressing well.  I never thought 30 minutes @ 9:13 pace would be hard, but it’s getting easier each day.  Fortunately, I’m so happy to be running and making …
