Finally managed to hit my 90 mile goal. Third time is the charm. Feel pretty good and should be able to handle it no problem with my current workload and other commitments I have this month. I am going to keep the mileage here for a few weeks and try to up the intensity of the workouts a little bit.
Good week of training. It was nice to do two workouts with the New Balance Boston Crew. The hills and drills on Tuesday made the lower legs a little sore but Thursday they were fine again.
The Patriots kicked some major butt at the Meadowlands yesterday. I know why Tom Brady has had such a grin on his face all season. He finally has all the weapons a quarterback of his caliber covets. Good running back, awesome line, spectacular wide outs, and the best slot receiver in the game. All he has to do is decide at the line whether the defense is going to crowd the line or play some sort of cover defense and adjust accordingly. Yesterday it appeared Tom was in the Jets team meetings. It also helped that his line didn’t allow an opposing defender with in ten yards of him except on one knock down that was still an 18 yard completion to the rehabilitated Randy Moss. He must have had a big Gulp of the BB kool-aid because even he was carrying the company line clichés in the post game interviews. It is going to be a fun season watching the fireworks. The Chargers and Colts games will be some fun high scoring stuff to watch.
I took this from a NY Post article today because I thought it was appropriate.
” The second vision of horror was of Patriots receiver Randy Moss running free all over the field like a gazelle catching passes from Tom Brady as if they were playing a game of catch in a backyard with no one playing defense. “
GO PATS!!!
That’s all I got.
