Training for MCM gets Serious

Rode in the 24 Hours of Booty on June 24-25. I raised over 400 dollars to fight cancer. Rode over 222 miles and my butt was killing me. I will have some better shorts before next year and my Goal will be 300 miles.

My training for the Marine Corps Marathon picks up big time now. I had low mileage in July put I did ride the bike a lot. I ran 8 miles this morning. I did not have to go to school because we are still working 4 10 hour days. These Friday's off have spoiled me. It would be great to have this schedule year round. Next week I will attempt to start the early morning runs.

Tomorrow I riding a with a few friends hoping to get in 50 miles but we will see. Sunday will be my long run of the week. Looking get in 14 miles. It will be tough because I will have to run after church which means I will be running in the heat. It is forecast to be 95 or above on Sunday.
It will be my mental toughness test. When I start feeling bad I need to think about miles 21 thru 24. If I can pick-up the pace their I can make the 3:30 mark.

I am going to making a much better attempt to keep my blog up to date.

Elizabeth is spending the weekend with Mom and Pa. Maybe Jennifer and I can go the movies.
