This is my blog. I speak for no one but myself here. The words I write, the images I post, and the articles I link to interest no one but me. I stand by what I put here, however, it is not a reflection of time, effort, or particular care. I just want a clearinghouse of what does interest me and a space to spout out poorly written and thoughtout rants. Consider this a disclaimer.

Should it be four 13.3 mile runs or something like ten 5 mile runs? The training for the ten runs strung together seems easier but I am unsure.

So I have decided that instead of treating this as one fifty mile race, I am going to break it into discreet parts and work that way.
