Weekly Update 8/22 8/29

Week 8/22
8/21 was the first official group run with Round Rock Fit, actually it was a 3 mile pace run to determine the group that we would be in.  I must say I felt guilty because the pace run was only three miles and Saturday is supposed to be my long run.  I am really glad that I decided to join the group and have already met many great people with the same goal in mind, to finish the marathon.  One of the guys in the group was 70+ years old and has ran 49 marathons in the past 7 years, AMAZING.   

Week 8/29

Another great week of running increased my miles back up a notch and everything was going well.  Then on 8/29 I was headed to do some cross training on my Mt. Bike and I was in a car accident and totaled my vehicle, which is also the reason I am late with this post.  Luckily there were no major injuries, just some bruised ribs.  I was actually able to run both Monday and Tuesday, however today my ribs are pretty sore so I may take Thursday off, we will see how I feel in the morning.
