Jake claims with great confidence and a smiling face that Life is Good, I agree.  Though we are not always able to realize it, it is so.  I know I have struggled, tough times have not eluded me.  I have made poor decisions at times and have suffered.  Through it all, we move forward.  A positive mental attitude and approach to life and all it's challenges is powerful.  Think on it, develop it, dwell upon that which you most desire to attain, to live a full and happy life.  You can if you THINK you can.

Just another day full of endorphin fun filled PT

Currently reading this book. Good read about 6 individuals who decide to train for an Ironman Triathlon.  Details what they go through in their preparation and training for the big event.  Have read about 75% of the book to date. The book causes me to consider whether I may myself one day decide to train for a full Ironman. I completed a Half Ironman in 2004. Though I know with certianty that doing a 70.3 does not compare to a 140.6.  In the meantime the book is a motivator of sorts on the day to day training, as I think about some of the workouts, I know I can do more and sometimes I do.

Sunday's Long Run

Did my own version of a half marathon, Sunday morning. 157 minutes worth of slow and easy jogging @ approx 12 minute/mile pace, it may have been an 11 minute pace but I'll log it as a 12. Out and around, here and there and hanging in for 13+miles...
G-2 with me using the water bottle and belt. tooka powerbar gel at 108 minutes, all good.  Longest long run in a long time. Chores and rest for the remainder of the day.
