In the swing
My two week sabbatical from running has come to a close. A little biking but no swimming because the pool was a little green when we opened it last tuesday and it just cleared up this weekend. Besides, it was a poor week for swimming.
7.2 mile nobscott loop today at lunch solo. 48:50 feeling pretty easy. I tried to focus on running tall and strong to try and get back some mojo for the shorter stuff.
My first competition will be the Chase corporate challenge on June 28th in Boston. It is more a celebration of sedentary habits most corporate workers have. It takes some people over an hour to finish. I have seen people smoking, drinking a beer, and wearing a number, before the race!!! The term race is used very loosely here. I am putting my money on New Balance Bostons own Jeff Caron who ripped a 3:54 1500 for a big PR at the last Boston High Performance meet of the season. I wouldn't put a penny on myself this year. Usually I am pretty fired up for this race because Mortimer and Justin usually run. I am also typically in decent shape. I am not concerned with this crowd though, I would never race if there was going to be more than 20 actually runners in the field.
That's all I got.
