  This past weekend I took the family to a local park with running trails and we took a little hike on a trail in the woods.  I got to enjoy watching my 5 year old son run through the woods.  Watching him go care free running through the woods just reminded me of how much [...]

  So I was prepared to run the Greenville marathon in October and then do the Goofy Challenge is January.  I had not really decided until recently about the Greenville marathon but it will always have a special place in my heart since it was the first course that I broke 4 hours on.  Well I [...]

  I am really looking forward to my 5K coming up on May 9th.  I feel healthy which is always good!  My speedwork is going well as I have consistently been hitting my goal times.  I am just trying to maintain the progress the next couple of weeks.

  2:08:42.  That was the winning time for the Boston marathon for 2009.  Deriba Merga from Ethiopia.  That is still a pace that just completely amazes me.  I hope to qualify for Boston in the next couple of years but it will take quite the effort to pull it off.  For me to qualify for Boston [...]

• Training plan

  Posted on April 16, 2009 by tbrush3 in Uncategorized

  Never be afraid to make some changes.  In my present training plan it is similar to one I put together last year.  I suddenly remember how at one point last year at this same time I was not fond of it.  I made changes and was much happier with the plan and the results.  For [...]
