Marathon Training Update

I ran 12 miles on Saturday in 2 hours, 13 minutes. That's slower than I'd hoped (I've just gotta beat Oprah and Puff Daddy if I'm going 26.2 miles).

The reason: I haven't "cross trained" very well...I think I need to get even more serious about my diet (but I'm doing pretty well with that) and weightlifting.

The result: I'm pretty sure that I'm changing the timetable to complete the Napa Marathon in March to running a half-marathon here in Dallas in late March and finding another half in August somewhere and making my first full marathon next December.

This getting in shape thing after about a decade off ain't all bad...but it's demanding.
