With 4 teenage kids and none driving yet, there is plenty of Dad/family stuff that I need, and want, to do. This takes away from some of the time I spent exercising in the past. I don't mind, it's just part of life, and a good part it is.
My marathon training is going OK and I will be fine for running the Eau Claire marathon May 2nd. I have a goal of running a 3:35 which I can do if the day is a good one in every way. My reduced miles I've been getting in has negatively impacted my long run performance so I've added a Monday run to get my miles up a bit.
I'm thinking that for the next few years I don't want to stress about getting my long runs in for marathon training. If I don't qualify for Boston in EC, I will probably switch to 10mile/half-marathons/25K for a few years. When the family plans allow, I'll be able to spend more time training again.
I cut back my 2010 race list and I'm OK (in my head) with this reduced schedule.
