Hmm.... I had written a post here this morning... but it seems like I must have forgotten to hit publish and lost it. Oh well.... here is a brief recap (brief because I have been at the computer all day for my students).
I am very happy to report that I ran my April 1/2 Marathon distance this morning! I got up and on the trail determined to try to do it this morning because it is already the 20th and I needed to do one run of this length in April.... and because there was very little wind. Running into the wind is not my favorite task, so it seemed like a great day to try to accomplish this. I started my run at 6:15am. I ran my 13.1 miles (just a little over 21 km) in two hours and one minute. I had my fastest 1/2 marathon pace ever! It was an ~9:15 pace for each mile (if I converted right that is an ~ 5:42 /km pace).... nothing amazing really, but not too damn shabby for an old duffer!!!!!
It feels very nice to have it finished for April!!!

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
