Went for a slow 30 mt. jog at lunch, then walked for about 10 mts. The weather was great-- a little hot though. I was so happy to be running again. Felt a little tightness in my quads, but other than that I felt great. I've met some goals and I'm pretty happy about that. 7 mos. ago I posted some goals on "Gathering Place." To name a few: 1) Get under 200 lbs.--now 190. 2) Run a 4:40 marathon-- ran 4:40. 3) Run the marathon continuously (no walk ratios)-- made it to mile 22 before I had to walk. That makes me very happy. Looks like I need some new goals.I've had plenty of time to reflect on the marathon and I've basically come up with a couple things: 1) Stick to the plan-- even 20-30 seconds faster per mile will cause problems (bonk). 2) I truly thrive when I'm competing. 3) The Reno Marathon is sub-par.
New Goals:
- Run Napa Valley Marathon in March 2008.
- Weigh 180 lbs. by March 2008.
- Run Napa Valley Marathon in 4 hours or faster.

Congrats on all the weight loss, you look great (for an old guy). I agree with you about doing the napa run. If I want to do a half again - I would do it in Napa. you should set a goal to be nicer to people....yeah, like you could ever met that one. Ha!
Added goal: Get Becky to run the marathon in Napa in March.
