    Training Update.

    As usual it has been a few days since I actually wrote about running so I wanted to give a very quick update on my progress.  For a change it is all good stuff to report! In addition to my 12km run on the weekend that felt great I have gone out for a few more ‘little’ runs of 7 & 6.2km, the latest being today. The 7km run was very uneventful, pretty straightforward out and back route, nothing too exciting to report. (Which is not a bad thing)

    Today however was a little shorter run with a few minor ‘incidents’.  To begin with I decided to run through the neighborhood, I figured I may have to watch out for kids getting ready to get on the bus and people rushing off to work. What I didn’t plan for was the number of landscaping trucks I would have to navigate through, (who says the economy is suffering, last time I checked professional landscapers weren’t cheap).  Oh and I didn’t realize that I wore my invisible running shorts and shirt either, I mean how else do you explain a van (with trailer) pulling out right in front of me just before I crossed a street, I actually had to slow down or I would have ran into the side of the van. (Would have made for a good story, but no thanks) Its one thing if the guy didn’t see me, but c’mon, I’m 6 feet tall, wearing a bright white shirt AND he made EYE CONTACT.

    Anyway, I survived and did finish my short 6.2km run, without further incident and feel great going into the rest of my day.  Which I consider to be a bonus considering I woke up dead tired with a pounding headache! 

    I guess I would say I am right where I need to be to begin a formal Marathon training schedule, now all I need to do is pick a race and keep running!

    A banker by day, 35-year-old Tyler recently decided to train for a marathon. And by "decided," he means that "my wife has given me permission to train for the full." A dedicated family man with two young children (a three-year-old and a six-month-old), Tyler says it's a constant challenge to find more time to run. He says that his wife wants him to run because it's good for his heart, but he's slightly suspicious that the real reason might be because his body "was beginning to look more and more like a pear," and "she doesn't like pears." We wish him the best of luck in becoming the fruit of his wife's dreams!
