Short-Term Running Goals:

Diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis in June of 2008. Need to learn how to manage the disease and the treatments, and figure out what sort of training I can do with it.

I would like to spend the winter building a really strong base, and potentially try another marathon in 2009. Next big race will be the Indy Mini Marathon in May, 2009.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Run another marathon...well.

Endure and persist; this pain will turn to your good. - Ovid

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:1-5

Decided that sleeping in would be better for my body than running this morning. So I slept in. In the evening I did some jogging with the dog, then drove out to First Dam and ran up to the River Trail. Met Jon at the climbing lot, and then we went a bit past Spring Hollow and back. Pace was easy. My calves were pretty sore from the race, and my quads were a little sore early in the day, but I didn't feel them at all during the run. Calves felt better as the run went on. Very humid today; felt like I was back in Indiana, except there was no one wearing cutoff t-shirts and swearing at me as I ran by.

Why do they swear at you? Does your beard help you blend in better with them? If you want, I can wear some cut off jeans and a wife beater next time we run together. Whatever makes you comfortable.

Apparently you weren't entirely conscious of the crowd on the parade route during the 10k.

There was a parade route?

I'm always happy when I can run in my home town without getting hit by cigarettes or beer bottles.
