Buoy Yeah !

Eight miles this morning Bizkneeahtchhhh !

I arrived a little tardy for my pre-training-appointment run, so I ran three brisk miles around the track in lieu of the initial four mile run (with 4 min uphill intervals) I had scheduled.

Ravina then took me over to do some chest and tricept exercises shortly thereafter. In performing these exercises, what we found was astonishing--apparently, though I am undoubtedly right-handed all the way, it appears that my left arm is stronger than the other.

I know, at first I couldn't believe it either.

Even more astonishing though was the fact that I could actually sustain a conversation with her while performing these exercises. Usually, I have to focus on what I'm doing with everything I got just to keep my survival mechanisms functioning. You know, I think this stuff she's been having me do may have actually affected me positively somehow.

After another insightful training, I hopped on the treadmill and did my scheduled run, only it turned out to be over five miles by the time I started cooling down. All in all I ran over eight miles this morning . . .and with 143 days until my marathon, I'd say that's pretty decent progress.

Congrats:
Keep up the good work and maybe you will think about getting a Bike and replacing Lance Armstrong on the "Tour". If you do that then you can start thinking about the Ironman in Hawaii.
I'm crossing my fingers for you to cross the finish line in December.
