Frankfort Half

Terrific day at the Frankfort Half Marathon.  Ran a sub 1:40.  Must be doing something right with my training.  Official time was 1:39:33.7.  21st out of 341 and 1st out of 8 (60-64). 7:36/mile.  

Another factor that may be helping is I am trying to eat healthier with the biggest change of being soda free for the last 5 weeks.  Also, been reducing my sweets and grains.

In two weeks is Starved Rock.  Feeling pretty confident about it.

The Next Five Weeks

Been a long while since last post, but tomorrow starts the culmination of my training of the first half of year.  Frankfort half-marathon tomorrow morning.  Two weeks later, Starved Rock Marathon, and another three weeks later is the Kettle Moraine 100K.  Training has gone pretty well except no 25+ mile runs so far.  Only expecting to get one in, the marathon with a bit extra with warm-up and cool-down.  We will see whether more of these runs were necessary by the middle of June.
