Marathon This Weekend!

I am running the Houston Marathon this weekend. It is an open act of defiance following my performance at the Little Rock Marathon. For those who don't know, I had an injury that was completely unrelated to conditioning/training. I limped along the course, but had to have surgery within a week of the race to repair the damage.

I've recovered and it's time to get back to it. My PR is still 4:32:38, set at the 2004 Marine Corps Marathon in Washington DC. I was on pace to do much better at Little Rock and felt really great when I was injured. I finished there in 5:22:57. There, the time wasn't as important as finishing without major damage was.

Unfortunately, I will be running this race injured. However, I will still be trying to break my PR. I have been faster than 4:32:38 for 4 years, but I haven't had the right race. I just hope my injury will not play in to the performance.

Anywho, just keeping you informed and me distracted.
