Perry- My training is going pretty good. I did a 3hr 15min joggle last sat. and I was going to do my longest run tomorrow 18-20 mi and then start the taper for the last 3 weeks. When do you do your longest long run before a marathon? I read that you shouldn’t do it less than 4 weeks before the marathon.

I don’t know if I’ll focus on doing too many tricks during the marathon (the cold weather probably won’t be too suitable for doing my 26 joggling patterns, cold hands…). I am sure I’ll end up trying to joggle and beat my last time, 3:47. It would be fun to compete against each other a little bit. I might go for 3:30, don’t know if I’ll swing it, but I’ll give it a try.

I have found that being able to joggle 2 is pretty handy for making saves. If a ball looks like it is going to drop, you do a quick 2 hand juggle while you focus on saving the wayward ball.

How goes your training for Philly? Mine’s not too bad. Not sure I’ll set a PR but I’m feeling pretty good. Should be a fun trip.

i did four for a little bit when i retrieved my stuck ball on the light post before stuffing it down my pants. it’s not too bad, as far as rhythm to do four. with some practice, one could do it while looking forward and seeing the juggling in your periphery just like one does with 3 ball joggling.
