Jan 14 - 4 miles

Ran 4 miles today. Not so cold. In fact I ran without sweatpants today and wore shorts. It was a bit chilly, but it got better as I got into it.

4.11 miles - 37:06 minutes - 9:01 minute mile, 618 miles

It appears my pace is around the low 9 minute mile pace. That is a bit faster than I want to run the marathon. Not sure I can keep that pace up for 26.2 miles. I'll probably slow down the pace on the longer runs.

What do I think about while I am running - I have come up with my plan for the audit department at DVF for the next 25 years. Where do we want to be? What type of audit department do I want us to be like? How many CPAs working 100% audit?

I also consider what does the Bible mean on certain passages (why didn't the blind man see right off when Jesus healed him and other questions to ponder while I am running).

What do I want my kids to turn into? How will I deal with certain parenting issues?

Walt Disney World trip planning (we are going to Disney before Kayla turns 3) - Kids are free until they turn 3. We take each one of our kids to Disney right before they turn 3. We have gone to Disney twice so far.

I visualize the race a lot. What will it be like? What are my plans for the morning of the race?
