12 on the 12th; 9 weeks complete

It didn't dawn on me untill this morning that I forgot to record a journal entry for Sunday Sept. 11th. I hope that didn't cause too much distress for anyone. The big highlight would have been the Bills' 22-7 victory over the Texans.

Today it was back to Sunset Park. To stay on track for the Dec. 4 LV Marathon I felt some LSD (long, slow distance)  was in order. So I pounded out 12 miles on the one-mile dirt oval. To avoid boredom I switched direction every three laps (miles). As usual there were plenty of walkers, runners, ducks, geese and a few murderous fishermen surrounding the lake. It was a steady 10-minute-per-mile pace as it took me 2:01 to complete the distance. It took a lot out of me. How am I ever going to run 26.2 miles in less than 12 weeks? Somehow I'll make it.

Today marks 9 complete weeks of sobriety! I still can't believe my devotion to Lewis & Clark got me started on this madness. But if it works don't knock it.
