Staying on the Track

Almost 2 months have passed and I find that after each run I gain a sense of accomplishment and motivation. Although, sometimes I wonder if I will be able to complete the goal... I try not to linger in those thoughts to long... de-motivation can creep in so easily in the pursuit of our BIG GOALS! One day at a time, one workout --- will all lead to the finish line on Oct. 18th. I have enjoyed a couple of group runs with some of our team and Supporters. Rick Harris, Pat Gaskill and I met up to run the streets of San Jose... Pat came dressed in "Rocky" wear and Rick led the pace on a 3 mile run thru neighborhoods and thru the downtown as the city awoke to another day. Great misty morning to run! Ran a good 3.5 miles with Scott Stapel in San Francisco thru the hussle and bussle of "the Wharf" --- we should have brought some money, desperately needed a drink of water --- thought about begging for a dollar! What a great way to experience the city, running past the business owners stocking their shelves in china town, past a busy park with muscians jammin', dogs and people playing. The hills gave us a few chances to test who was faster... Scott won! Great run, Scott.... Thanks!

I am looking forward to hooking up with all team members throughout the year to train, talk and have fun! By the way, we have a block of 20 rooms set aside in KC for the Marathon Weekend and I hear Jeff Cutler is working on a "Magic Bus" tour with his RV. Stay tuned for more details!
