So the next week should be interesting .. I expect to start my new job on 10/27 and have the Marine Corps Marathon on 10/26, not sure how this is going to work, but it should be interesting..

Anyway, I have a few pictures from the Steamtown marathon of me along the course. I hate posting pictures of myself because I get fearful that some goof is going to vandalize the picture, but hey, I guess its a chance I take… I only cropped 4 low-res pictures, the first one being the funniest. I guess the cameraman thought it was funny to offer people pictures in front of the flag with their finishers medal only minutes after they finished the marathon. Take note the first picture was about 7 minutes after I finished, so my head was still pretty foggy, the other pictures were from along the course…

So anyway, I had a decent week of recovery and preparation for next week, I got in 10 miles yesterday at an 8 minute mile, I expect to get around 14 in today once it warms up a bit. It got quite chilly this weekend, with morning temps in the low 30’s, so I’ve been bundling up .. and I start to remember that as I head into the fall/winter season, its the wind chill I need to be aware of. Even yesterday I overdressed, but ended up losing the outer covering only to be cold once I got back to the dyke .. I guess I can’t win.

It should be an interesting week, things are going well .. we’ll see how we feel for the weekend and what the schedule looks like…

I should note that as expected, my quad pain went away after just a day. It seems I had to take it easy yet again for a day or two, but I still got my miles in, so i’m happy ..
