I had to leave this morning for Philly but I got out early before my flight. The temps was up and the humidity is starting to get back up. Today I planned to just run easy so I did something that I normally don't do and left my watch at home. It is sometimes liberating to not be a clock watcher and just enjoy the run. It was a beautiful sunrise this morning so that was enjoyable. I felt pretty good and was glad to get this in before a long day of meetings.

It's been a while since I checked in. I hope you and your family are doing well. School starts for our kids today, so I'll finally start to develop more of a routine. How's the hip? Are you doing a Fall marathon?

Our kids have been back in school a couple of weeks now so getting back into the routine. They are just really busy. Seems like you all did a lot of traveling around this summer. My hip is fine now and back in the running mode now. I feel like I am starting to get back in shape. The down time with the injury set me back. Because of this no fall marathons for me. I am going to run some shorter stuff 10k and halfs and see if I can improve my speed. If the training goes well maybe I will try to crack 3:00 in the marathon next fall. That should give me some time to make improvements. Looks like your training has been going good. What are your plans for the fall?

Glad to hear things are going well. My plan is to run the Philly Marathon in late November. It gives me that little extra time to prepare. I haven't done a 20-miler since March, so I'm hoping to build back up this September. The base mileage has been good and my achilles seems a little bit better, so hopefully I'll get in a groove as soon as the weather cools.
