The Final Countdown

A little less than 48 hours from the Fox Cities Half Marathon. It is slightly bittersweet because my goal was to run the full marathon this year, but an injury is an injury. Have to treat it with some respect and be thankful everything is healed up.

Nonetheless, the gauntlet has been drawn, and I am ready to get out there. Short training run tonight with my new apprentice and then some weights, and tomorrow off. Excited to check out the expo when I pick up my bib.

Quotable ::: Lynn Jennings

"The freedom of Cross Country is so primitive. It's woman versus nature."

~Lynn Jennings

Quotable ::: Robert Frost

"The woods are lovely dark and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep."

~Robert Frost

And today I only had three of those miles to go, but many more tomorrow. So now I will rest and find my own sleep.

Quotable ::: Prefontaine

"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement."

~Steve Prefontaine

Now it is time to go out for my long run.
