Ran my first PRR with Alex, obviously you can see by my time I was not racing it ... overall it was a good day.  It is actually Saturday night now & it has been raining since ... well, since I can last remember!  We already have more rain this year than last year for the entire year.

 I took a break from running the last 12 weeks ... I think I have run 15 miles since Boston.  But I have been active, believe it or not, I weighed in at 146 this morning & my racing weight at my peak of running was 148.  So, I decided this morning I would commit to 40 weeks preparation for Boston & as long as I can stay injury free, see what kind of time I can post, with the goal being a new marathon PR.

Anyway, I am going to log my runs old school in a journal, but will probably pop in here and post race reports for any races I do.  At some point as it gets closer to fall I will try to establish some kind of race schedule, but for the next month or two it will just be base building.

 Today (Saturday) I did a 13 mile benchmark run ... kinda as I figured ... I need to double my distance, drop my pace 2 min/mile, & eliminate the walk breaks!  But I will attribute that last one to the 80 degree heat & 80% humidity.

 Best of luck to all in their running!
