Weeks 10,11,12,and 13

I'm back to blogging and training. The last few weeks have been rather crazy around the household and both the blogging and training have slipped a bit. But with the new year comes a renewed commitment to both.
As I have talked about in the past life somtimes gets in the way of this whole marathon fundraising thing and did it ever the last few weeks. My wife had another successful surgery and has recovered nicely. My sons have had us running all over for their High School and travel basketball practices and games and the holidays came and went with me gaining about 10 lbs. If I had been keeping up with the training it probably wouldn't have happened.
So due to life I fell back on my training and only had weeks of 17, 19 and 5 miles. I was not happy but you have to do what you have to do. So with the new year I jumped off to a good week this week with runs of 7, 5, 9, 5, and 12 miles for a total of 38 for the week, hopefully I can keep reasonably close to this pace for the remainder of the trianing period.
The last run of 12 miles was with the DFMC team out on parts of the marathon course, it was cold but it was actually an enjoyable run as I got meet back up with some of the people I had become friendly with through last years experience.
Still looking for a partner for the Boston Prep in 2 weeks I don't believe it has sold out yet.
