8 easy miles today.  Felt great.  Don't think I'll run again until the marathon.  Man my wife is excited!!  I can't wait to run with her.  I hope I don't slow her down.

Well, I ran the St. George Marathon with my wife today.  Man the weather was crappy as I'm sure anyone whom ran it would agree.  It was cold.  I was cramped the whole time and never really loosened up. 

The rain would not stop and a good head wind at times.  I ran with my wife and I was proud to say that despite the weather she set herself a new PR of 3:51:54!!!  I was glad she didn't run any faster, it wasn't easy for me. 

When we got done I was so chaffed from the rain I could barely walk.  I'm going to lose two toe nails.  Other then that, I had fun running with my wife.  The last 3 miles she really picked it up to PR.  I had to push her at the end, but she pulled it off.  There's no way I could have PR'ed in weather like that.

I really wanted to run today.  I was some how hoping that my broken ribs wouldn't get in the way.  I tried running about 5 steps and quickly shut it down to a walk.  I walked 8 miles, it took me 2 1/2 hours!!!  I'm so fast!!

My busted ribs hurt as bad today as they did a week and a half ago with it happened.  I've got to find a way to stay in shape.  I'm going to Virginia for a week.  I'm attending some training for work.  I was born in Virginia and left when I was three and never been back.  I'll have to do some walking to try and stay in shape.

first run after breaking my ribs.  I ran today, but didn't get too crazy.  The ribs felt pretty good.  No pain.  I ran four easy miles
