• Finish line is near

  Posted on December 21, 2009 by tbrush3 in Uncategorized

  With the last of my 20 mile runs behind me I see the finish getting close.  (By the way avoid running 15 miles on a treadmill if at all possible.  A little lesson I learned this week!)  This race is something I am very excited about but I think I am more excited about the who than [...]

• Last leg of training

  Posted on December 16, 2009 by tbrush3 in Uncategorized

  I am in my last really tough week of training.  I am looking at my 10 and 20 mile runs back to back this week but it will be the last of those.  I am really excited knowing the training is wrapping up and we are this close to the race.  One of the things [...]

• Year in review part 2

  Posted on December 15, 2009 by tbrush3 in Uncategorized

  The part of a year in review that helps me the most is to write it all down.  This is a good reason to use a log, journal or something to record your actions.  From running to your work and personal life it is a good idea to write any or all of it down.  [...]

• A year in review

  Posted on December 14, 2009 by tbrush3 in Uncategorized

  I am not much on setting new year’s resolutions but I am pretty high on setting some goals for the year and keeping track of my progress.  I guess it is pretty close to the same but I don’t see mine as turning over a new leaf but setting expectations and tracking those throughout the year. [...]

  “Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.”  Napoleon Hill I read this in my quiet time this morning.  I think it will become a part of my thoughts and motivation for my final 20 mile training run next week.

• Not just numbers to me

  Posted on December 9, 2009 by tbrush3 in Uncategorized

  3258 for the full and 32030 for the half.  Those numbers means nothing to everyone else in the world but it means a lot to about 36,000 of us running in Disney next month.  We received our waivers with race numbers yesterday which is a signal that we are getting really close.  When you can identify yourself with [...]

  With the passing of Jim Rohn whose teachings have influenced millions around the world I thought I would give a few of my favorite quotes he had.  Jim was a teacher, leader and mentor who left quite a legacy. “Commit yourself to something bigger than yourself.” “Learn to say No to the good, so you [...]

• 2 down 1 to go

  Posted on December 7, 2009 by tbrush3 in Uncategorized

  I did finish the 2nd of my 3 20 mile runs in prep for the Goofy challenge on Saturday.  It was quite a different outcome than my first 20 miler a couple of weeks ago.  I really just crept my way through it 2 weeks ago trying to put one foot in front of the other.  [...]

• Atlanta Half Marathon Race Report

  Posted on December 4, 2009 by tbrush3 in Uncategorized

  There are many reasons but this is one of my favorite races and it seems to improve year after year.  Of course the fact that my two fastest times for the half marathon are on this course does not hurt how I feel about it.  I enjoy running through the streets of downtown Atlanta and [...]
