High Gear

I guess I wanted to give this post an "action movie" feel, so I felt high gear was a fitting title. Yesterday's training went well. I was doing 10 minute miles, and tomorrow's goal is to bring that down and try 9.5 minute miles prior to the race on Saturday morning. As mentioned I'm having "coffee" (or in my case green tea with baby tea leaves) with a text book publisher this evening, and I have a large folder of articles to support my case. If anything I want to know how the textbook editorial process works. I'll let you guys know how it goes.
I'm trying to make a couple recruits to Team Little Flower at the race on Saturday morning. Donations have poured in, and I'm up to $200 from friends and family, well on my way to surpass my goal. The training also continues this evening with some sprints and lifting. And as a complete side note, I haven't touched a drink in a long time. I actually feel somewhat sick thinking about drinking, and I have to be honest, it has given me much needed clarity. More soon.
