May 3: Dedicated to Jeff Galloway and Hal Higdon

My solo erratic, distantly random 

33:36.08 run-walk today 

is dedicated to Jeff Galloway 

and Hal Higdon
 

 Neither of these men know me, 

but they trained me to get through marathons 

[I think I've done 13? I don't even remember at this point. And what does it even matter? I'm not setting any records.]

with their books and training plans and programs. 

Yes. Today, I ran, in the heat, 

in pollen-filled, grass-cuttings laden air 

5/1 run/walk ratio

 but I cheated my walk breaks 

and favored my running intervals

I can still do it.
