40 Days till the Pigs Fly

40 Days left until the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon. This will be a big one for me. I've been wanting to run this race for a few year but haven't due to injury or lack of training. This will finally be my year though. I have a couple of friends that will also be running in it and a few cheering me on from the sidlines. It's a beautiful coarse that starts in downtown Cincinnati, proceeds up to Eden Park. Where you have a veiw of the city, Ohio River and Northern Kentucky. Then continues into some of the upscale neighborhoods like O'bryan Ville, and Mt. Lookout. Cross over the river into Newport KY though Covington and finish back over in Cincinnati. Can't wait it's gonna be a blast.

Here Piggy Piggy Piggy.....

8 weeks into Pig training. Did 14 miles yesterday. Wishing the snow would melt away so I can run on sidewalks when needed and wish the trails would dry out some so I'm not a muddy mess when I'm finished. Took the dogs out on the trails the other day for a 4 miler, they where lovin the snow.

I've ran a few times in the VFF's now and am loving them. I've been wearing them on a daily basis but have been gradually working them into my running. I can really feel the workout in my calves after running in them

I have The Pig on May 2nd and Columbus in October. Hoping to BQ in October. Hoping to find a trail race in Washington State the week I go out to visit Mom and Fred. Can't wait to start busting out some 20-30 mile runs this summer.
