I started a diet today. Well, not necessarily a diet but definitely a more responsible eating regime.

The best piece of advice would be to not increase your weekly mileage too much, but just step it up gradually. Otherwise you risk injury and that'll ruin it all. Seems like you've got plenty of time.

I wasn't going to ask since I don't know what December in .ca is like, but having heard you're headed to Vegas, well, that's a different story! I spent two months in Vegas for a job.

The weather this past weekend was in the mid-90's but it was a little cooler in woods on the hiking trails. At least there was some shade.

I'm impressed with your commitment to training for marathons. Good luck!
