Well hello, Monday.  You came awfully fast didn't you?  That's okay.  6 more weeks until April break.  Which means more weeks until Patriots Day and Ward's 3rd Boston Marathon.   Although I'm not the one running Boston, I'm still nervous and excited for Ward and what it's going to be like spectating this year.   Last week was another spectacular training week.  So spectacular, my legs told me today they were TIRED.   I actually did something I don't do a lot.  I sat down and watched a movie with the kids.  I should do this more often.  It was glorious.   Here's my week recap....

Biking Mileage - 24 miles w/ 415 total miles for the year Yearly Mileage - 1289 miles as of October 31st, but I've done 18 more miles since that screen shot - which means my yearly mileage is 1307.  Last year's mileage - 1300.  I guess I'm done running for the year. So, what are my goals for the remainder of 2012? - Speed work - I really want to run a sub 4 hour marathon - so speed work it is. - Strengthen my core - I'm not impressed with my abs.  Meaning - I know they are there, somewhere. - Build my base before marathon training kicks off in January.  Right now I'm happy with anything over 30 miles a week.  My goal is to get up to 40 miles com...
