easy miles

Chico and I ran eight miles this morning at a pretty easy pace. We got a late start and didn't leave Horseman's Park until after 8:00 a.m. Manuel had already come and gone, so we didn't get to run with him. Chico was excited nonetheless. Chico was complimented numerous times, on his beauty, during the run today. We even stopped briefly and visited with some ladies who wanted to pet him. Throughout the run I thought of where I would be at the same time next week. The marathon, now a week away, will be a great experience. I hope there is a way to run some of it with Chico. We will definitely run a few miles of the Bizz on Saturday and that may have to suffice. The schedule, that I haven't followed all that closely, calls for three four miles runs this week and two days of rest. I have listened to my body and feel certain that I will run well enough.
