Training to run my first mini marathon at the Kentucky Derby Festival on April 25, 2009. I started running in March 2008 after my father passed away from a complication following heart bypass surgery at only 59. I made a promise to him while in the hospital that I would loose weight (215 lbs at the time), eat better, and get myself in better shape to make sure I did what I could to not follow the same path.

10 days before the BIG race and I started to recall those last agonizing miles I pushed through at the kentucky mini... At the divide in the road were the half and full marathoners split,I could only think if I had to go right I would have probably sat down in the middle of the road and cried...

Thanks Tim. I have been thinking about switching to the Gels as well. It's just hard to deal with the beans in a race. I'll make a note on my Calendar for the Indianapolis Half. next year. ;)

p training...Its ok to back down...You have been through a lot...But your going to get faster if you keep up a solid base and then tune up with some speed work....Have fun at the next half ...One goal down....If you get a cool day you might think about going for a new PR...I am shooting for one in October...Later Tom.
