What a day! What a run!! 7 miles at Mine falls again!! I think it's fair to say that Mine Falls park is my bitch..lol
Today just felt right. I had 3 planned, but after about my first 30 yards I knew today's run had potential to be special. I breezed my first 3 miles. I was the only one on the trail running in the mud after the heavy rain storm. It was damn near perfect. Around mile 4 I started thinking about going for 9 miles today. No doubt at all that I could have gutted out 9! But why do it now? The race at Hampton Beach is still 6 weeks away. Ken's been telling me to ease back into it, and he's right, why risk injury? That being said I pulled the plug at the 7 mile mark. It was a perfect time to stop. I ran a mile more than last Friday, enough to feed my ego, but I left some on the table for next time. It looks like I'll have a mild recovery run in a day or so, then look for something bigger and better on the weekend.
I spoke to Todd about about running Hampton with me. He's not sure he can be ready by then. So he's going to the gym (that might be code for Jenny Craig)this week and we will see how it goes. Unfortunately the CIA has called Bib for duty again and he will be unavailable for the Hampton half Marathon.
Was I the only one that felt like I got kicked in the balls when Brady got hurt the other day??
How good is Mike Lowell??
The Counting Crows "Rain King" played again during my run today, very fitting. It was followed by "Have you seen me lately". If you haven't heard their latest Album, check it out. It's brilliant. Adam Duritz continues to blow my mind.
Take Care Ross
