EZ run up the beach trail here in Ventura. Basically did the last 4 miles of the marathon course. Temps felt pretty good and the humidity didn't bother too bad. But it was slow and short.

We woke to horrific news. Got a phone call that a close family friend to my wifes mom died a in tragic car wreak in NYC last night. My mother-in-law and nephew were in the city with them but waiting in the room. Her friend and her grandson were taxiing to the room from the airport when a garbage truck hit them killing the our friend, and the driver and injuring the grandson.

It's been an emotional day for my wife and her family as her mom is the only one out there with the grandson who was in a coma but seems to be on the road to recovery. Tragic for sure. I feel horrible even thinking about worring about running a marathon tomorrow. We just wish we were home and had our own little boy. Lifes so fragile, guess you just never know.

I have no goals tomorrow- just hope to feel good and get it over with so we can get home.

Sorry to hear that news. A real bummer. Go run your heart out tomorrow and then get home.

Thanks for the note that you left at the running store... That was a cool surprise.

Good luck!!
