    Definitely mastered the treadmill on the cruise ship trick this past week as the top deck running track wasn't open for more than 1 run due to strong winds. The secret to it seems to be just picking the machine closest to the centerline of the boat and fixating on the horizon.

    Dec 14 - 20 miles
    Dec 13 - 5 miles
    Dec 11 - 5 miles
    Dec 10 - 8 miles
    Dec 9 - 5 miles
    Dec 7 - 13 miles
    Dec 6 - 8 miles
    Dec 4 - 5 miles
    Dec 3 - 5 miles
    Dec 2 - 5 miles

    Total: 79 miles
    Goal: 168 miles

    Date Miles today. Miles for December

    12/13 26.2 miles - 70.95 <<< Rocket City Marathon (3:50:15)

    exercise.png

    Today was the Rocket City Marathon. I didn't do as good as I wanted but still a good finish for a first time marathon. I will post a link when I get done with my Race Report.

    I was so afraid you would say "I didn't do as good as I wanted". You did a sub 4 hours on your FIRST marathon and remind us my friend how long you have been running... a year? Puff up that chest and be so proud of yourself and your time. I think you did amazing! Now you can make yourself a lessons learned and improve for the next time. I give you :star::star::star::star::star: for today!

    What she said! Pursuit of Excellence indeed!

    What they said! ^^^^
    Such an awesome accomplishment! You. Should be VERY proud!!!

    Did 3 miles this morning - best pace ever for that distance. Still a long way to go, but it is nice to see measurable improvements.

    2 miles on the treadmill today. I hate running on it so much but there were some icy patches outside this morning that I wouldn't have been able to see well in the dark.
