One week to ING!

Well folks it's one week to the ING Marathon here in Atlanta. This will be my fourth and while I am excited I am also a little saddened. In order to prepare for my first ultramarathon in May I have decided to take a hiatus after completing the ING. The only other run I will participate in will be the PeachTree Road Race on July 4th. I look forward to the ING since a number of friends will be participating. I have also decided to change my strategy a little in preparation for the marathon. I will run a 10/10/6.2 which basically means that I will run ten miles break for say five minutes; run another ten, break for five to ten minutes and finish out the last 6.2. I have learned that I can certainly clear twenty miles however the proverbial wall kicks in at the end of mile twenty. I look forward to trying this and am excited about running in my hometown. Expect great things folks! "Greater passion for anything I have never had more than this!" James Frederick Green
