Hallelujah! Internet is Risen
Allelujah!! Internet has risen
He endured the blackness, for you and me
He pledged his solitude, to keep my knowledge
My precious internet, he died for thee
Those of you with a similar Roman Catholic youth may recognize the above verse with some of the words changed to suit the occasion.
Tonight marks a huge moment in the history of the blog known to you and I as Easy Gait. This entry is coming to you from our new office on the second level of the Hudson digs. I hope to have more content to this space with a little more opinion thrown in for good measure. As always, feel free to critique and comment anything on this page, my skin is thick. Now I do not have to use the work machines for my little bits of training minutia.
Speaking of which, this morning was a nice easy solo Area 51 Code 371 run in 32:31. It was followed by a road bike ride into work supplemented by a road bike ride at lunch to the 10k mark of the Boston Marathon. Which by the way was sweet to watch, as always. Americans going 3-4-5 with Brian Sell busting out a huge 2:10:55 effort which was astounding. Ideal conditions lead to a disgusting opening pace. The lead pack burned through in 30:01ish and looked great. That is of course 23 seconds faster than my 10k PR but that is neither here nor there. Kudo's to Reebok Bostoner's Chris Voce (2:40) and Brendan Prindiville (1:11:54 thru 1/2 marathon) who competed today. Big effort from fellow eliterunning.com blogger Bridget who came is at 3:09 after racing the race in her mind every day for about 3 weeks prior to the race. A job well done to all the racers. Next year I shall be with you because I will not have to move, or pack, or buy, or sell anything of note. I will take my revenge on that hateful, hateful course for what it did to me in 05'.
This evening I did a Area 51 south blue diamond run with Christy Mae in 36:25.
Tomorrow night is the first night on the outdoor track. It is supposed to be chilly and windy with high's around 45. Let's hope the hamstring stays attached to the bone.
That's all I got.
