Putter, Peak and Power

I'm not ready for that putter, after all. This was my 20th marathon since 2001. Once again, held my own. Still at the 7:00 minute pace! Finished with a 3:01:10 at the Buffalo Marathon. That dates back to the 2004 Sandiego Marathon of 3:00:30.

This is the picture of the winner, training to run the 2007 Boston Marathon. It was a hot one. I seemed to handle the humidity well. I was chating comfortably with a runner, which finished a few positions ahead of me on mile 18. He said he also ran Boston and traded a few lifetime marathon highlights. I felt like at peak performance like that of years past.

I was concerned. It's like the gas prices. I was worried as my finish time increased. I had a minute, thirty second increase at the LILAC 10k compared to last years. I planned to see if I could improve on the shorter distance runs. Wanted to see if I could break the 17:00 minute mark at this year's ten ugly 5k. I know I have the endurance. Now I can put more focus on the core for power and speed. The increase in the finishing times will be filed as an excuse of cold weather.
