Running On

I am almost half way through my training for my second half marathon. I have had a perfect six weeks of training so far; hitting all three runs each week for 6 weeks. Today was my second 6 mile run, and I averaged 9:12/mile. Hopefully by November I will be able to average 9:00/mile for 13.1 miles. That will get me across the finish line in under 2 hours. That's a pretty good time for a big guy like me.

Right now I have to be more selective about what runs I take Duke on. They are getting long enough that his paws bleed. He never complains, mind you. He only complains when I leave him at home. I plan on getting him some doggie sneakers, then we will be together again.
