Winding down
We are ramping down the training this week, in so much as there was any training. My sister had to be restrained from running twice a day leading up the Sunday’s marathon. It is a hard thing to grok that you can’t do anything good this close to your race, but she is handling it well.
I’ve been taking it easy with some 4-5 mile runs, enjoying the cooler weather last week in California and now in Texas of all places. I sure hope we get a cool weekend since whatever heat acclimation I had, is surely gone after this spell of pleasant weather.
So this weekend, we will be in Vermont, for my 50th state, my brother in law’s 50th marathon, my sister’s first marathon and my father in law’s 3rd marathon. Going to be a great weekend.

I’m shouting you out on Twitter. That is truly an accomplishment….
Such an amazing accomplishment. I took 7 months off from running when I was preg. and after a baby and just ran my first mile the other day…. I hurt more the next day than after my first marathon.
Truly Amazing.

Dana-> Glad to see you are getting back into running. I suggest teaming up with your sister and let’s bring her across a marathon finish line.
Ms. V, Thanks for the shout out. It is really a testament to my wife for putting up with me this long and enabling me to finish.
