Blogging takes time, who knew?! It's something I don't seem to have much of but I'm going to give it another shot.
Here's a shot from Race #2, my coworked Steve and I crossing the finish line. We look really unimpressed but that's about right. This kid keeps me from going batshit at work because he sit in a soundproof room all day that I can use to complain about the office. I love this guy.

We don't even look tired. I probably could have kept going but I was overheating in that fancy running jacket, which know that it's colder was well worth every penny of the 80 bucks I spent on it.The tech shirt I wear underneath kind of traps your sweat you so get this weird cold/clammy thing going on after a while. Gross.
This morning the old legs felt good, strong and fast. Realized it was foolish to ignore strength training over the last month and my new goal is to get stonger and faster, rather than going farther (although I may incrementally increase time, but I don't think I'll do long runs over 60 minutes). After the race I went out and ran 2 more miles because that was what the trainin plan called for and I totally bonked and felt sick. Wasted my whole weekend when I should have been being productive. Although I managed ot get myself to the Met and sketch some Renaissance paintings without barfing. An El Greco gave me the spins.
Ok, need coffee and an hour long bus ride to school.
