Not really around a computer much yesterday, so here is part one of the runner’s diary, Tuesday edition a day late — before my Wednesday run.
Four hours in 37:29. Music was a mix.
Stay tuned for more postings. I promise.

So Alberto Gonzales has fallen on the sword, resigned his post as attorney general and that ends that. But it shouldn’t.
John Nichols sums the situation up better than most on the Web (his colleagues at The Nation, David Corn and Aziz Huq, complete some outstanding coverage). I have nothing to add.

A six-mile run to open the week in just under an hour (I mean just, like seconds). A mix, including the new Springsteen single (sent to me by a friend).

This was a fairly solid week, even if I had trouble getting loose. I capped off a five-day running week with an eight-mile jaunt — in a not-so-quick 85 minutes (about) — getting outside for the first time in a while. My legs are stiff now, but the soreness seems to be subsiding, so we will see. Total for the week is 23 miles.
I basically have about five weeks of training before the race, with a week of rest (light running and other cardio), to double my mileage. Next week, if all goes well, I plan to run 25 and do 25-27 the rest of the way, with next week’s long run planned for 10.
Goal is 10 next week, 12 the first week in September, a 14-miler by Sept. 14 and a 16-miler by Sept. 21, then tick it down the week of Sept. 28 and a light week leading into the race.
LBI here we come.

Treadmill again — took it easy. Three miles in 27:12. Listened to Wilco, Sky Blue Sky.
Tomorrow — well, the plan is for a long run, at least eight, but I’ve had trouble getting loose all week.
