I forgot to post the miles last week. This will catch me up on the off chance that anybody ever reads this.

I had to drop out of the Rock and Roll Marathon, although since I never actually registered, that’s really not the most accurate way to phrase it. I have some family issues that I need to deal with at the end of May/early June, and I just cannot commit to traveling that weekend. I knew this was coming, I just didn’t know when, which is why I had waited so long to register. It’s not that big of a deal, since I really wasn’t anywhere close to marathon pace.

As of now it looks like the focus will be on a spring marathon (Napa again?). I’ll use the summer to build a proper base and then begin a proper training cycle in the fall. That’s what I did for Napa 2006, and I ran well (3:06:39 if I remember correctly) on a wet, windy day. With another good training cycle and cooperation from the weather on race day a sub-3:00 is definitely possible.
