Long Beach Marathon
I ran the half in 1:39:42 per plan. My hip flexor was really painful afterwards but did not affect the 13.1 mile run. I'm still struggling with my weight and the hip flexor. I need to eat less and eat better plain and simple.
I'll likely have to cancel my appearance at the Sacramento International Marathon due to a business trip to Dubai; poor me. I'm looking for an event of any distance in the UAE to coincide with my visit. How cool would that be?

10/2/2011 – The hip flexor again!
For the past 7 days I have not run or biked (except to ride to the pool) while my hip flexor seemingly shows no improvement. It is times like this that the doubt starts creeping in. “Is that as hard as I can train?” or “I’ll never meet my goals with this body.” ARGH!
I can train harder, but not at 180 pounds. I read an article on the dive down south to visit my Daughter and meet her new gal-pal-Kal’. The article said to cut and paste your head onto you favorite triathlete’s body. So I’ll post that when I get to it. It should be good for a laugh and help me get down to 160.
Goals
It’s all about goals. I have accomplished everything I set out to do in my life, which like being injury free means I probably didn’t set my goals high enough (and I was always too fat…lol). Well I’m pretty sure that my Ironman goals are high enough and weather or not I accomplish them, I am going to do something that I see nobody around me doing. Something lacking in the public at large:
I’m going to find out just what I’m made of. How far I can go, how tough I am. When I die I’m damn sure going to be tired!

3:43:05 – Santa Rosa Marathon
Perfect was the preparation, equipment, course, nutrition. Perfect was the rest, support, temperature, humidity and atmosphere. This was the perfect day to run 26.2. This was a perfect day for preparation to meet opportunity. This is the day I will make a run at my Boston qualifying time.

The ‘dream’ how important is a goal vs. the personal meaning.

Update 1-7-2011
I got a road bike, but haven't had any time to ride is, well not much anyway. I'm just running right now, looking to get well under the 4 hour mark this year at the LA Marathon.
