Neither snow, nor rain...
I thought about this quote climbing in the snow before sunrise this morning.
"Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these courageous couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds"
According to the Internet, it was "said about 2500 years ago by the Greek historian, Herodotus. He said this adage during the war between the Greeks and Persians about 500 B.C."
Training Log - October 15th 2009

- Run - 26.2 miles - Mohawk Hudson River Marathon
This was my 2nd marathon and my goal was 4 hours. At the half way point (13.1 miles) I was at exactly 2 hours, but my legs were already feeling like lead. Stomach issues started at mile 15 and after a few pit stops, I changed my goal to 4:30. At mile 20 I realized the stomach thing was not going away, so I planned on at least finishing sub-5 hours. Which I did.
Lessons learned:
(1) I need to train properly if I am going to meet a time goal for marathons.
(2) I need to figure out a food/drink combo that works for me.
(3) I need to increase the pace of my longer training runs.
(4) I need to harden the fu*k up before the Death Race.
