Too much to write
Things have been crazy busy, to say the least. Work has just been a bear with a lot of OT and travel and the running has suffered a bit. I have been constantly about 10-15 miles below my goal mileage and it is pretty frustrating. About twice a week something comes up which stops a run. There is no way around it either. I have been doing a good job of waking up in the morning and getting at least that in but between fire team meetings and proposals it has been an absolute challenge to get the second run in. The good news is the career is going well and I have yet to miss a workout, but one of these days I will not be able to dash out at 6:00 and make it to the workout. Lets hope it doesn't happen but I know it will.
On to running.
Just to let everyone know, New Balance Boston won the reach beach relay!!!
The first mixed team to ever win the race outright. We were in a fun race with Hello Kitty from JP. The crazy thing is we started at 4:00 on Friday and finished at 2:00 pm on saturday and only won by 5 minutes. For 22 hours we traded leads back and forth all through the night. It also helped that our women were a bunch of killers who not only didn't mind racing against guys, they relished it. I thought a few of them wanted a piece of me after it was over. The whole team was strong and we needed every second of every mile. It was great the way NBB stepped up and adjusted to some team misfortune. We had people scheduled to run 20 running 27 an people scheduled to run 20 running 14. The whole thing slid sideways for a little while but that is all part of the fun. Adapt on the fly. The SUV smelled like a giant fart at the end but no one really noticed. To all of you reading this, if anyone still does, put a team together for RTB and run it. It is just too much fun.
We had the bestest most funnest team in the whole race.
Here is the band of happy marauders about 5 minutes after we were done.
It also about 5 minutes before we jumped in the ocean. It was chilly but felt good on the knees.
Next on the agenda is the army ten miler.
That's all I got.
