Marathon....186 days and counting

Good Morning! Just a quick update here. I'm trying to motivate myself, so I thought I'd post. :) I am up to a 5 mile long run in my training plan, and doing about 13 miles a week. I should be doing 6 miles for the long run this week, but I got sidelined last week with shin splints, and am waiting for my new, more supportive, shoes to be delivered. They should be there when I get home, unless the UPS website is wrong. I actually custom designed these shoes on nike.com...so cool!
I just have to say that 5 miles right now takes me a little less than an hour to run. I AM SLOW! But the issue is that running for an hour on a treadmill staring at the wall is boring. Really boring! I can't wait until it warms up a bit and I can run outside. That's going to be so nice!
I talked to Brian on Sunday, and he's having a blast in AZ. he said the first game he pitched in, he struck out the side. He explained that that means he threw 3 strikes in one inning, which is awesome! I'm anxious to see him play when he gets back and starts the season here.
OK, that's it for now. More soon. :)
