Maybe, just maybe I'll be able to complete the Dec. 4 LV Marathon after all. Today, I ran 16 miles at Freedom Park and it went very well. It's 1.4 miles around the park. So I just parked my car and stopped for water and Gatorade as needed. It went very well. Sure I'm a little sore after my longest run in more than 5 yrs but I feel a lot better than I did after last week's 14 miler. So the plan is to run 18 next week then 20 each of the following weeks, then either a half marathon or a 10k on Nov. 19 then taper off until the marathon.
Just because I didn't have a journal entry Sunday doesn't mean nothing happened. I went to Cypresse's Sunrise yoga class. It was great. No traffic. Who needs to be stressed out by heavy traffic before yoga class? And the Bills ended their 3-game losing streak with a 20-16 victory over the Dolphins. That's a great day!

Those long runs should do it,but listen to your body while doing them and if need be cut short rather than do damage.Your schedule was like mine when I was looking for a 3:30 or better.You have a flat coarse,plenty of fluid and big crowds which help.You have added chi running and yoga which I didnt have to help for a good finish.Good work,keep it up.The Niagara Casino marathon is a week from Sat,that goes across the bridge and ends at the falls like the old Skylon marathon.Will probably bike part of the coarse along the river near the lead group,gets pretty exciting near the finish.That view always escaped me as a runner.
