The journey continues with another marathon with Team In Training. Running just doesn't get old especially with the wealth of trails within the Bay Area. This season I'm training for either the Napa marathon or going back to Rome (which I did earlier in 2007). We just started core strength exercises (lunges, sit-ups, planks, push-ups, toe stepping, heel stepping) so I plan on building up my strength again. It was just last month that I ran the Portland marathon and shattered my previous personal best by 40 minutes with the final chip time of 4 hrs. 50 minutes. We'll see how the season progresses and what my goal time will be this event -- 4hrs. 30 minutes? hmm..pushing it perhaps. Anyways, November 2007 is the first month of training and the marathon(s) are in March. Plenty of time to work on pacing, strength, mental focus, and fundraising for the Society.
