a decent two days-- ran an ok track workout yesterday forcing myself to go longer and at least starting to get back into long stuff mentally. ran 2 x mile and some 400's and 200's. it was very cold and very windy and i did the miles slower than i would have liked, but i did them. the other stuff was quicker, but not as good as recently. at least i had done several decent runs in the past days and my legs i am sure were not springy-- also added 36 miles on the bike after playing 9 holes of golf yesterday and added 13 miles of cooldown riding after 8 very slow and easy miles today. the new theories of less is better has never really worked for me. i get everything done on strength and not speed for sure.
also signed up for two marathons. turns out my 15 marine corps done qualify me for automatic entry and i thank them for that. might as well start getting to number 200 and signing up is good motivation for training. haven't done anything over 2.5 hours since the harrisburg marathon, other than long bike rides.
and finally we have a new president. at least most of the country and the rest of the world was waiting for yesterday. now we'll see whether they can really work together to overcome the lost 8 years of gwb and bring some conscience and clear thinking in the decision making process.
i only want what's best for the country as they say. even i, who wanted gore to win, wanted bush to do a great job. he was still my president and the president of the country, but his years were lost to the world, and as my dad used to say, if you are standing still, you are really going backwards. was that a run-on sentence? let's hope for the way of the ultra runner- relentless forward motion - for the country and the world and all of those ultra runners out there..
and a big shout out to the hokies of va tech over wake forest!!!! onto baseball season.......
