And now, the real training!


So, this is my last week of pre-Marathon Training training...culminating this week with the Bronx Half-Marathon this Sunday. After this, I'm going to go on the formal training program, as provided by the New York Road Runners. I didn't run a long run this week because Sunday's race is 13.1 miles. That's far enough, this week, even if the miles count towards next week.

I'm getting kind of psyched about the condition I'm in. I've never been that fit... I mean, I had the cardio, but never the musculature... and at 37, I'm starting to look somewhat, well, good.

Weird to say, but it's true.

We leave for Westchester tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing the kitties and puppies.

Love to all. Even you, the Armonk parents who kept their backs to their six-year-old while he played right on the edge of the ocean.

I don't know why "Eye of the Tiger" started playing in the back of my mind while reading this post.

Interestingly, the lead-singer-dude from Survivor's kid went to school with one of my kids. So maybe you're just a subliminal genius.

Maybe.

I'm so envious!

If you ever have the chance, run the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon...one of the most memorable I've ever run. OKC folks, many of them victim's families, stand along the course and thank you...they thank you for running. And there are banners, with names, along each mile...remembering.

Amazing, amazing run.

Have fun and stay hydrated!
