Long Slow Distance

This blog is slowly developing. Eventually, I hope it can track all my progress and thoughts on running and training.
Anyways, I just started a new job with a new schedule and adjusting to this new schedule is hard, but will be very beneficial for my running in the long run.
It is hard making the transition to a first thing in the morning runner. I'm not used to waking up, lacing up the shoes and getting out the door. This is an adjustment that will take some time. I'll spare the details, but let's just agree that this new schedule isn't very regular.

Enough.

Take 2

This is my blog.

I am not going to spend too much time on the editing of the template right now. I figure I will slowly edit it to be more to my liking. Anyways, my main goal with this blog is more practical.
You'll notice the address... I will be using this blog as a tool for fundraising in a few months for the Dana Farber Marathon Challenge.
Basically, I am going to blog about my training (and other things) and use this as an attempt to help bring people on board with me as I train for the DFMC.
Boston is not until April 08, but this is the beginning. I am shooting for the stars.
I want to raise 10,000 dollars for Dana Farber. The money goes to cancer research.
So anyways, here is a training update:
Monday was a 15.5 miler in about 2hours. Wednesday was 4x1200meter repeats at about 4:30each and friday was a 16 minute tempo in dreadful humidity. The other days were easy runs. I will have run about 44 miles this week after tomorrow's easy run.
It sounds kind of boring to report this, but it reminds me of a sign I saw once on the Green Line in the Boston T: It was a picture of an empty road. At the top it said "What Happens between Marathons?" and the answer was on the bottom: "Work."
I am so grateful to have been given this gift and this day... every time I run, it is a celebration.

This is a test.

Is this thing on?
