Set First goal

Mailed off my registration for Nov. 20 Ole Man River Half Marathon. I haven't run 13 miles straight since May. This is first real race for the NOTC since Hurricane Katrina. In case you don't live on this planet, we just destroyed a major city with poor government, engineering and good old fashioned looting... Oh I almost forgot, over a thousand people died and thousands are displaced while illegal immagrants and no bid contractors flock to the city to suck up all of the moolah. But we are happy because FEMA came in and gave everybody $2000 hush money.... Now where was I??? Goal for the race - just finish w/o walking. No speed concerns.

I ran my longest yesterday in a while. I did eight-nine miles. Plan on my usual six today.

Diet: Got to work on that all important diet. Yesterday had way too many cocktails and a Philly steak sandwhich. Other than that weak moment this week I did eat pretty well and stayed alcohol free.
