This Run's for You, Cassy

This blog was created to chronicle my training for and running of the Glass City Marathon, my first, which I completed on 04/13/08, in honor of my cousin, Cassy, who has severe cerebral palsy. If this is your first visit or you would simply like to know more of what this blog is about, please see my post, "Preface and Purpose", by expanding the January 2008 Post Archives at the bottom of the right sidebar. It's my very first post at the bottom. Thanks for stopping by!

4 Miles in the Cold

Kind of getting to be a routine around here, but I know I am not the only one running in bitter cold these days. Got 4 miles in this morning before I headed out for inspections. It was 12 degrees when I left with a wind chill of 4. I thought I was cruising along on a tempo run (a fast-paced run, but not quite race pace), but I was much slower than what I thought I was going. Go figure. Speed's not what counts right now anyway. I actually stuck to my training mileage too today. I think that is because I am looking ahead to the 16 mile long run I have coming up this Saturday. I'm barely keeping ahead of Marion in the Pace Groups. She's killin' me! LOL
