Training had been pretty tough lately, it’s been almost 5 years since the last time I trained for any long distance running event. My aged and heavy body is taking its sweet ass time to accustom to all that running.

Training outdoor in the middle of winter is indeed tough, but I am very thankful to have a group of awesome running buddies to keep me company every saturday morning.

Thank you Team In Training for everything.

Since I cannot go fast, I will try to go long. I signed up for a 50 mile ultra-marathon this coming fall. I am super excited to see how far I can push my body. It is hard to believe that I will be running a marathon in May as a warm up for my 2012 season!!

Work had been very busy, and dad is in the hospital for another bypass surgery.

The weekend just cannot come fast enough, all I want to do is to put on my running shoes, and lay down some miles in my favorite training ground Mendon Pond Park.

I signed up for the Pittsburgh Marathon yesterday, training the next 20 weeks in the Rochester winter weather will be rough, but I am looking forward to get back into a more structure life style.

A lot of it is still working in progress, so please be patient with me as I tweak the design and UI over the next couple months.

Enjoy!!
