I guess this is still a race report, even though I wasn’t really racing this morning. Helen wanted to run the Al Gordon 4 Miler and I agreed that it sounded like fun. I wasn’t sure when I signed up how seriously I’d take it, but by this morning there was no doubt [...]

57 miles in 3 days. That’s my plan for the weekend. And I’m 2/3 of the way there. Early in the week, I decided that I’d do double 20’s this weekend since it was my last chance before having to start the taper for the HMRRC Winter Marathon.

On our way over, we talked about predicted finish times and I said that I just wanted to keep a 6:45 pace. His plan was to finish [...] I won! That pretty much sums up the whole race right there. Everything else is just details. Details are fun, though, so here goes: Last night, I ended up going out with my friend in the Lower East Side. My foot was really hurting and so I had pretty much abandoned the [...] |
