Week number 8 of my marathon training marks a week of running filled with highs, lows and an attitude adjustment! Week 8 started out with a few shorter runs of 4-6 mile runs. I was very pleased when I managed to finish a 4-mile run at 10:50 pace. Now that may seem slow to many, [...]

Personal. Jerry and I finally put [...]
