Run catch up

Running:
I have lots of catching up to do. I've continued my training for the 10/4 Lakefront marathon despite all the distractions of the past couple weeks. As any serious runner knows the best way to keep your sanity when things are crazy is to just keep running. I've not trained exactly as I would have, but overall things should be OK. No more 20 mile runs, but enough in the 13 to 16 mile range for the last few weeks. I also have tried to run 5 miles a couple times a week at marathon pace or faster. Sometimes these miles have been in the middle of a longer run. Right now the runs seem easy and there are no aches or pains. Lets hope things stay that way.

I found this link http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/lifestyle/60321332.html to a video shot of the Lakefront course. The 26.2 miles is covered in about 6 minutes. Interesting to watch.

Hunting:
I'll catch up some more here on my next post. For now I'll just say I haven't been out hunting yet at all. Not even once. I'm itching to try, but the warmer weather is helping to sooth the itch a bit.

Gardening:
I'll catch up a bit here on a future post as well. Gardening chores have also fallen way behind. The pool will be closed for the season tomorrow.
