"Every runner's greatest opponent is the wall--the wall of fatigue, that is. The goal of training is to push the wall of fatigue by increasing the maximum pace one can sustain from the start line to the finish line of a race. The goal of race execution is to actually run as fast as possible without hitting the wall before reaching the finish line. It's that simple."

What's My Excuse?
OBJECTIVE run
ACHIEVED 7.17 mi.@ 8:44/mi.
5:34 AM 58° 97% 6 mph
It’s turned into a bad running week. Long story ….
PRE RUN Weight = 161
POST RUN Apple juice, multivitamin & Cream of Wheat w/brown sugar & 1% milk
That's it? That's all you have to say? Must have taken your breath away!
Paige said you're doing the Ogden Half! Maybe I'll attend this year (as an observer, of course) Tim is running. He took off a whole year, per my request, and is antsy to get back in the game. Hope your future prep gets better :)
Yes, it was a big run and I'm still trying to recover! ha
I'll be running the half in Ogden. Official training starts Monday.
Glad to hear Tim's back at it. Thank you for giving your approval. I think Brandon is training for the marathon this run. So it will be fun to have a few people from the 'hood running and cheering.
Participating as a spectator seems a bit frustrating but Paige and my parents say there's usually a lot of drama playing out at the finish line so it's interesting.

Why did you even bother with that blog? There was no news there.

pcb,
I didn't have time to post the details of my computer woes, work challenges, and general malaise with regard to running this week.
Hopefully my loyal and dedicated readers (ha, I know no one reads this ... and that's fine with me) realized that I have spared them the gory details!

We're waiting to hear about the 5K.
Brandon
I am a loyal, dedicated reader.
