I've been running for about a year. After putting my foot in my mouth at a family gathering, I promised my wife's grandmother that I would complete Boston in the next year - so the challenge has begun.

7:20 pace. I took the last few days off as my wife and I went on a quasi vacation for the long weekend. The break came at the right time. My feet have been riddled with blisters that are affecting my running. I have to find something to fix the problem. Over the weekend, I purchased Marathon by Hal Higdon. The big takeaway from the book – I have to make a solid effort to change speed from day to day.

8:30 pace. This has not been the best week for running with a lot happening at work. Since the marathon is coming sooner than later, I will try to get one more long run before the end of the week. 

Rebecca (wife) has decided to run her first 5k! The goal is a local in April - Blaze are you taking note!!!

Ryan, sleep has not been the best since I’m rather stressed about that case interview; however, I’m looking to get back on schedule next week…

8:50 pace. I really wanted one more long run for the week; however, did not think it was going to happen around mile 6. My energy started to really dip. I believe mental concentration was the biggest challenge since the long run was on a treadmill. Around mile 7.5, I found a reserve and finishing on a real high - that was until I started walking around after the run!
