10/11/06: 6 Mile Run: Neighborhood

I have decided to start training for the Mercedes Marathon. If the training goes well, I will run the full 26.2. If it doesn't then I will pull back and run the 1/2 marathon. Today's run felt good. I have worked up a training schedule which I posted below.

North Korea tests a nuclear weapon, a congressman (Foley) sends dirty text messages and emails to young pages, and some are accused of a cover up. What a world!
