The Road to Kentucky, Month 4

Here we are, the marathon less than a week away, and I'm NOT READY. My injuries have not healed 100%, and my training has been extremely spotty in the past month. Also, the forecast calls for weather in the 70s-80s AND thunderstorms. I'm in for a world of hurt.

The Road to Kentucky, Month 3

March, my most important training month for Kentucky, was full of ups and (mostly downs). It started off ok, but a 14 miler ended badly with some right ankle pain forcing me to take a week off.

The Road to Kentucky, Month 2

I am now officially halfway through my training. I'm a little behind due to a back injury and a little vacay out to Monterey, but I'm catching back up and I ran my first long run of the training season. Last Saturday was a 12 miler in cold but sunny weather, hovering around the mid 40s. It's my ideal temperature and I don't look forward to the weather warming up.

The road to Kentucky, Month 1

With Huntsville, AL in the rearview, I've got my sights set on the Derby Festiival Marathon in Louisville, KY. Kentucky is the birth place of bourbon, the mint julep, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and home to the Kentucky Derby. While technically a southern state, Louisville is at the top of the state straddling the good old Midwest. With Indiana being just a few miles away, I'll get a second chance at finding the coveted Zombie Dust by 3 Floyd's Brewery.
