Update. This was one tough week, where I did 40 miles. Now I have only two more hard weeks and then I taper
Thoughts as the race draws near: Quite pleased at how my training is going. While I have miss many of my goals (they were purposely set very high) - my 2012 effort (by God's grace) is way over what I did last year. Last year I was running just to complete the distance, this year my goal is to increase my speed - and I have. For example my last year's training 20 miles I did at 11:45 per mile, today I did it at 10:17. With this considered - my time in the 2011 marathon was 10:32 per mile, which was over a minute faster per mile. This year IF I can do the same - my time should be closer to 9:15 per mile.
Matthew 28:20 "...and lo I am with you always even unto the end of the world."
Commentary: This verse records a promise which Jesus makes to the church - not only that he will never forsake us. But that He will be with us - in some spiritual/personal way. A great verse to refect upon during the darkest of days.
