Visting friend at Lake Tahoe. His place is out 6,700 feet elavation. He had a nice 10k route that I ran Mon-Wed. I could feel the elavation. The flats weren't too bad, but the hills felt about 3 times has big; hard to breath.
Only about 2% of runners will finish a marathon in less than 180 minutes (3 hours) After four months of intense training, well at that time (20-25 miles/wk), I ran the Houston half-marathon on January 16th, 2005. It was so grueling, I swore that was it. I'll never do another half, let alone a full. Fortunately a running comrade pushed me to do a full marathon. Rededicated, I set a sub 4:00 hour goal for the full Houston marathon the following year. I trained harder than ever and crossed the finish in 3:59; I was hooked. I've now run 21 marathons and this site is my journal to join that exclusive club of those who finish a marathon in under 180 minutes (3 hours). |

Yep, I have a stomach bug. Well, at least I have an excuse for a crappy running week.

Went for 15, quit at 3. Was felling nauseous. Sore ankles also; I might be sick
