30 Weeks to Go

30 weeks to go until my first marathon. Ran 15 miles last week just working on heart rate conditioning. I really want to be able to run a 10min per mile pace and keep my HR under 146.

Committed to my 1st Marathon

I committed to run my first marathon, the ING Marathon here in Atlanta, on my 39th birthday, March 21st, 2010. 31 week countdown has begun.

Sweet Apple Park

This is a nice little 1 mile loop around Sweet Apple Park and the Elementary School. The trail is smooth packed gravel. The park entrance is off of Crabapple Rd and there is plenty of parking. You can also park in front of the school if it is after hours or on the weekends.
