Because Its Been Over a Month

Good morning everyone! I figured since it has been been over a month since I last updated you on the training I had better get to it! Grandmas is only 71 days away, and boy have I been letting myself fall behind on my runs. I never thought that I would have such a hard time finding the time to squeeze in 4-5 mile runs a few times a week...but it's been terribly hard! Between school in Mankato (hour drive each way) and work (55 hrs a week) I haven't wanted to do much else. However, yesterday Bryan (training partner) and I finally decided to get off our asses and get to a moderate run!

We decided that since evenings have been congested with family, work and homework, we would try getting out in the morning before I left for Mankato. The lousy part about running in the morning is that lately it's been cold, cold, cold! I remember looking down at the thermometer in my car before we started our run and it was a whopin 32 degrees. I'm pretty sure the date was the 8th of April, not the 8th of March. But this is Minnesota and we cant do anything about the weather.....So we got into our cold weather running gear and ran our 8 miles for the day. Some of you out there may think "WOW, 8 miles! That's a long way to go"...However, for Bryan and I it's just the beginning..as we can see the 12, 15, 20 mile runs in our near future!

To everyone out there following me and this journey, thanks! I hope this motivation keeps up, for a few more days at least;-)

Make it a great day everyone! Make sure you let the ones you love know you love them!

Dave
