How much longer do we have?

First of all, nice to hear everyone's training is going pretty well (Jordan I had a completely ruined run last year because of stomach aches, gas, and dehydration and probably would have loved to hitch a ride with someone so that's nothing to be worried about).

Training has become a bit boring for me lately but I'm finding ways to get around it: I've been listening to ESPN podcasts on anything over five miles except for my long runs when I try to avoid music and enjoy the nature.

I also realized that I can keep a really strong pace up to about 16 mile but after that my pace gradually (sometimes sharply) drops but I've been right where I need to be on long runs for the most part.

The left foot is starting to hurt on the top but nothing major and my right knee and both hips are sore more often than not . . . I'm in great need for some rest after this rest.

The one thing that really keeps me motivated is the fact that I only have 2 more long, long runs and most of all; that we're going to be in ARIZONA of all places! I am starting to wish I had taken another day off work but either way Brad needs to find us an awesome place to chow down Sunday night.
