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

Easy run with Jon. Did canal trail loop with little out-and-back to 1st Dam. Legs are feeling a bit better, but are still thankful for rest. Hopefully they will be fully recovered by Saturday. I think based on my race performances and especially del Sol, I should be able to break 1:10 on Saturday, assuming conditions are good.

I still have "Bingo" stuck in my head. B - I - N - G - O !!

You had to do that, didn't you? Tear it up Saturday, sub-1:10 would be nice.

So I finally got it out of my head and there it is again.

"And running was his game- O !!"

We will have our family choir perform BINGO in the middle of the race tomorrow for anybody who requests it. I am requesting it, so anybody who is with me at that point will get to hear it, and then possibly for the rest of the race.

Paul, based on your new photo, it looks like your training is really starting to pay off. Good luck tomorrow.
