Another Day

| No Comments

What a difference a day makes. Or maybe it was running outside, in the summer sun, instead of indoors on a treadmill. Still haven't figured out why some runs are better than others, but these back-to-back four mile runs were most decidedly not the same.

And even still, tonight's run wasn't great, or solid, or awesome. But it was much better than yesterday. Two miles out and two miles back along paved and gravel trails. I was hoping that the ferocious headwind I'd faced on the way out would mean a nice tail wind on the way back, but no such luck. I think it was just swirling.

Good, not great, and at this point, mid-summer, I'm absolutely fine with that.

Today's mileage: 4 miles in 00:37:45.
Total mileage: 169 miles.

A Few Notes

After running two marathons in October 2010 with Team in Training, I've decided to "slack off" with just the one marathon in 2011.

This year will be in memory of Siona Shah, an amazing young girl who spent the final third of her too-short life battling leukemia with courage, grace, humility, and smiles.

It will also be in memory of my step-grandmother, Ruth, who passed away on June 15th after a recurrence of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

I'd originally started using this site to tell my story -- roughly eight months of treatment in 1990, as well as the impact leukemia had on me in the years that followed. Much of that story is still available through the "Table of Contents" below (starting with my initial diagnosis while I was studying in England).
