ORN: 45 min, 4/2, rolling hills
With the event getting so close, it's time to start focusing in on getting ready. Normally I wouldn't do two running days in a row. I would have biked today. But, with just a few weeks left to train I want to take advantage of every opportunity to get in quality training.
Hill running is really speed-work in disguise. You build stength, but more importantly you elevate your heart rate without much risk to your body.
My back seems to have gotten to a point of stability, but, I am taking NO chances. If something even LOOKS heavy, it's going to stay where it is until after the marathon.
Waddle on, friends.

HI! What marathon are you training for John? I have to admit that I read your column regularly in the Runners World magazine (Aust edition) I'm running in the Sydney marathon this coming Sunday. Hope your back is ok.
John: Your blogs are great. You have a good knack for words. Your column flows in Runners World. I compare your prose to that of Robert Frost with easy words and a good rythmn. I ran the Chicago Tri and it was great we also caught a Cubs game. Thanks for your help and I would have liked a picture with you.
