I feel the need for speed!

Yesterday I did some speed work on the treadmill. Total time was 35 minutes with 10 minutes of warm-up 11:32 pace, one mile at 10:30 pace, 2 minutes at 9:30 pace with another 5 minutes at 11:32 pace then cool down for 5 minutes. The pace averaged was 10:27 pace. Later that day I went to the park for a 6 mile run. I had a blister on my foot so it was a little painful but I finished in 1h 22m at 13:40 pace. My goal in the coming weeks is to run comfortably at 11:oo pace. My other goal is to get some blister free socks.

Journey to the Marathon

Journey to the Marathon
In the beginning..

In March I decided to join my Pastor and others to run the Chicago Marathon.

That's how it got started. I said yes, yes to the Marathon and raise money for World Vision. World Vision assists children and their families. I joined Team World Vision to do my part in helping these children and their families who are dying in Africa due to malnourishment, unclean water, illness and other devasting causes. I started training in March of 2008. That's me at the gym trying to get in shape.
