Yeah, so it's almost been 6 weeks...so what?!!! I've been busy!! At least I am keeping up with the training!

It's actually going really well. I have made good progress all around and I still have just under 6 weeks until race day. My strength is still behind where I was in February but my endurance is way better. I really feel that the intervals have had a big hand in the rapid progress but I am still uncertain as to how it will play out over 26.2 miles.

I think I am going to be a bit shy of my dead lifting goal but I should be able to hit the 35 pull ups. Weight is dropping consistently (after a little plateau) and I am down 13 lbs to 187... only 7 lbs to go; should be easy.

About 3 or 4 weeks ago I did a one mile time trial and, with a 6:32, knocked over 30 seconds off my first attempt. While that is great I think I need to knock off another 42 seconds to get a time that the Jeff Galloway "Magic Mile" would predict for me to run a 3 hour, 45 min marathon. My next 1 mile time trial is this Saturday. We'll see.
