Saturday in class...

Long day in class...deciding to write to kill some time. Today was an easy day and I'll log around 20 miles for the week. Took the easy road with R. this morning for ~3 miles.

Aiming for Tucson Marathon, PF Chang's Marathon and maybe Desert Classic Marathon for the winter...the thought of the trifecta is pretty daunting. There will be about 6-7 weeks between the first two, but only 2-3 between the second two. It may be a half marathon to round it out.

There will always be the fun little 5k with Maddy up to probably a 10 miler for Turkey Day. It's going to be a lot like work and without a ton of rest (probably) given Mama's baby on board and my running hours in the morning. As long as school stays light it shouldn't be terribly difficult. Time will tell...the real hours and miles will start on 8/13. Until then it's maintenance...and good 5 milers. Probably working up towards 8 milers over the next few weeks...get up to running an hour per run and add some variability to the routine...

Either way, I'm looking forward the work and the miles...just need to be smart about how to balance it with life and being there for Mama and M.
