Week 4 of 7

I see them out there on this unusually cold and windy morning, running along the asphalt trail, only I am driving in my car. As of last week, I resume my old running routine. The long run gets done. My Garmin Forerunner 205 watch no longer beeps, and if it does it’s faint. Searching around on the ‘net, the problem might be due to sweat sweeping into speaker holes on the watch’s underside and corroding the speaker. Of course, the watch is out of warranty, but it still works.

At this point, I am not really concerned about the marathon. I know I can complete it. It’s the “what’s next” question that bothers me for it remains unanswered.
