Boldly running where I've never gone before

If you look closely enough you will see I am not there.  Life is not exactly normal where I am, but floating aimlessly among the stars is not my location.

In the weeks since my last post, I have been trying to restore my life and that of my family to something resembling normal and it has been a daunting task to say the least.  The amount of training time that fell by the wayside cannot be recovered and some adjustments needed to be made.  The Century Ride is off the books for this year, and the Marathon was rescheduled from October to December.

There are 16 weeks until the Kiawah Island Marathon in Charleston, SC and I’ll be training for it with the Furman Institute plan detailed in the book “Run Less, Run Faster.”  It worked well for my first half-marathon, so it makes sense to use it for the (second attempt at a) first full.

This is Week One.  More later.
