So far, the training activities are going along fine although my mileages didn't quite reach
50 miles per week which is my target. At the same time, I am saddened by my friend and
old shipmate's(Henry Farolan Nivera) passing away in Los Angeles of lung cancer last
September 17. He was only 80 years old and is survived by his 3 sons and 1 daughter.
God bless him and may he rest in peace. HN, fair winds, smooth sailing and following seas.
Our (Aziz & I) every Wednesday activity is a big help in getting me ready for the
upcoming New York City Marathon. So with the Yasso 800's even if I just do part of
the required 10 sets during practice. If things turn out favorably, hopefully I should run
the NYCM with little hardships and possibly even a good time. We'll see.
This Sunday was our Tune-Up Run for the NYCM. I did okay running 3 laps around
Central Park. Could have done better timewise but I'm getting to be an old man. The
bottoms of my feet started hurting at about mile 13. My fault, I used a light weight race
shoes, a Mizuno Wave Musha 2. In the marathon, I'll use the Mizuno Wave Rider 15
which is a little heavier. For fuel during the race, I took GU gel and a peanut butter gel
at miles 7 and 12 respectively. Saturday's supper was of course, spaghetti & boiled
string beans. Finished the race strong but just couldn't cross the line in 3 hours flat.
Bummer, the 16 mph winds we had did not help me at all!
Doing good, Joe! Good luck at the NYCM. Take care,
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot. Good luck also at the LBeach Marathon this coming Sunday. Relax and get enough rest.
