I CAN SEE IT NOW

AUG 2 2021

San Juan Pirate (formerly the Pittsburgh Pirates) GM Manny Ramirez
announces the signing of Alex Rodriguez in order to pursue his 600th
home run. AROD is 0 for his last 3208 with 2752 strikouts all major
league records but says, "I really haven't been pressing and I feel good
about helping this team win their first game of the decade, its not
about the personal records".

S F MARATHON - NO MO

Well, as they say,
"it ain't the marathon that's tough its the training". I just broke down. More than anything it was the long runs that I just couldn't do. I never got past 18 miles and anything over 12 was really tough. Could I finish?, yeah, but why make it a survival test. For now, I'll run less and try and regain a little speed, I'll see how it goes. Oh and marathon training in 90 plus weather ain't no picnic either.

ADD BACK

The foot is still bad, the legs are deader than dead, and now my lower back is gone. All I can do is rest a few days and see what happens, today will be day 2 of no running and tomorrow day 3. On Saturday or Sunday I'll try a long run and if I can't do it with something better than a survival test San Fran is out.

RUH ROH

To quote the great Scooby.

As always happens to me in marathon training a foreign substance is in the fan blades. The long runs have gone bad, the speed work has gone bad, and I can't hold weekly mileage. My biggest problem right now is pain in my left foot. It has all the traits of Morton's Neuroma but who knows. Too date my longest run is 18 which isn't bad if I can get back on track, but right now, THE FOOT and the dead legs need to recover.
