It's been a little while.

Haven't posted anything in a while. I've been living life and training of course.   I covered some of my longest running distances ever: 14.3, 17, and 18 miles.    The 14.3 mile was hell because it was during the heat wave of July.   The 17 mile was blissful because the weather was great.  I actually felt like I could have kept going. The 18 was supposed to be 19.5 miles.  It felt tougher though again the weather was beautiful.  The route ended with me going up Harlem Hill in Central Park (clockwise direction).   Next up with be 20 miles!   I've decided not to go up 26 miles as the Galloway program suggests.  I will likely cap at 22.5 miles.   Yesterday I ended up doing a local 5K in Riverside Park put on by Urban Athletics.   A special Galloway price got my a coupon for free Feetures socks, a $50 coupon to use toward new shoes, and beer after the run.  I finished in 28:59, a new PR!  I felt good about that considering my last 5K and PR was Coogans at 29:48.  The weather was great but it was still nearly 40 degrees warmer than the Coogans!  There is something to training in the warmer weather.  30 days to Rock and Roll Philly!  72 days until MCM!
