10 Miles

My overdue 10 mile training run/walk was completed today.  I was supposed to do it last Sunday.  My time was 143 minutes.  I’m entering the final stretch of the marathon training known as tapering.  I can’t believe the Seattle Marathon is only a week and a half away.  I should be scared but I’m not.  My time goal is to do the best I can.  If I’m able to match my June marathon time of 6:33 I’ll be very pleased.  If not, oh well.  I’m doing this for fun and to keep myself in shape.  I’m running more than I’ve ever run in my entire life.  Not too bad for a 50 year old.

I finished watching the second portion (1985) of the mini-series, North and South.  It was titled Love and War, I think.  The third portion (1994) was panned by the critics but I’m determined to watch it.  I never saw the originals on tv and bought the trilogy at Costco.  Gotta love Costco!
