I’ve noticed that its been quite awhile since i’ve updated and posted in the blog. I guess you can say that I’m busy and not finding as much to write about as I once did. That doesn’t mean i’ll give it up, but I guess i’m just looking at it differently now.
Training for the multiple marathons this fall is going well, i’ve been satisfied in running 55+ mile weeks for the last 3, so i’m feeling strong. Even the 20 miler is getting quite easy (except for the heat). I’ve increased my tuesday run to 7 miles now, and am up to 12 miles on Wednesdays..
I did have a rough week, and thanks to my car breaking down, I ended up spraining or straining my rotator cuff in my right arm. I had to push my car off of someones property when it broke down (blew the tranny, thank god its under warranty). Anyway, I went to the doctor on Tuesday to ensure it wasn’t broken or fractured and thankfully it was not. Its real sore and I cut my Wednesday morning long run down because I didn’t know if I’d make it or not… thankfully i’ll be okay. Its funny how being a runner, I was more concerned about whether i’d be able to run or not, than if I was seriously injured. Thankfully my legs are okay and i’m a tough guy, so I got through without issue..
There really isn’t that much more to write about. I did meet a woman on Friday that will be running the Marine Corps Marathon in October, but out of 10000+ runners, i’m not sure i’ll find her. Regardless, thats a long way off.
I read in an email that the Steamtown marathon has its own forum now here. I’m not sure the purpose of it, but I guess its to answer questions of people like me who have run it multiple times and live in the area. Unfortunately, this area isn’t too exciting, they’ll find that out …
Oh well, thats about it, I hope to update again soon as there isn’t much excitement going on right now …. run well !
