ran up topstone mtn from parents house. on way back at 8.11 miles decided to time trial up gallows hill to top of whortleberry. Turned out to be 0.48 miles from bottom to top. Just over 300ft of vertical. Ran it in 4:35 (9:29 pace). Could definitely run it faster but will be hard to break 4min. will be a good goal i think.

decided to go out to eat than run long. 2.7 miles total with a time trial up gallows hill/whortleberry hill. I wish I knew the exact vertical but the GPS just isn't accurate enough. Ran the 0.48 miles from top to bottom in 3:55 (8:14 pace), shattering yesterday's time of 4:35. Probably went faster because i didn't run over 8 miles before doing this and had my brother pace me at the top half.

had to run fast so my brother didn't catch up to me. i was being kind of a dick and said i wouldn't wait for him for more than 5 sec and i was just honest and left at 5 sec. i made a point of not running with him by staying ahead of him even though he tried to catch me i'm sure. he pretty much stayed about 10 sec back and probably 15 sec by the half mile point. up to 20 sec where he planned on turning off. it's hard to slow down after that so kept a solid pace up. didn't have a watch on so have no idea of the speed.

ran to putnam park, then to huntington, did a longer loop and came back via john read rd. 1hr 57 min. first run with a water bottle. i don't like carrying it. i've learned to beware of this new icelandic yogurt at the super market. it did not agree with me.

1hr 47 min run. started pretty slow but at mile 3 or so there's this 250ft climb in 1/2 mile and about half way up i saw a runner ahead of me. of course i got motivated and 5 sec from passing this person, the girl stopped at the top of the hill to either fix her ipod or maybe was doing hill repeats. anyways, that concentration of going faster got me in the groove. i decided to run on single track in huntington park today for a bit. ended up going 12.2

 since haynes is keeping track of his weight i should be fair and let him know what i weigh to be fair. i wouldn't want to have an unfair advantage over him in the half marathon.

 post run weight 160.2 lbs. i'm probably 159.9 if i was completely naked. it's nice to be here!

i think i've lost weight mostly because i've been too busy at work to eat 3x a week at bertuccis and have all you can eat rolls and a pizza every lunch. the subway diet ~4x a week seems to be working. i cut out the meal deal chips. i'm hoping to get down to 155lb in the next month.

parked car at hungtington, ran 3.2 miles to kristin's house and 4 miles back to car with her. did not feel the need to run more miles because why run more than i have to, when i can beat haynes without them....

 weight without being naked...160.0 after run in the cool weather without really sweating.

surprising that i weigh even less than the 12 mile run i did yesterday! awesome! i'm making such progress :)

ran 2.7 to kristin's house. ran 4 in huntington, ran 3.8 miles  back. did have a glass of water in between. did not even go #2 this morning and weighed in at 159.2 lbs...

apparently haynes keeps dwelling in the past with his 1:18 marathon time....it is true i guess, that memories of greatness are all we have to hold on to when the hope of improvement is not achievable...

4.5 mile trail run at aspetuck. saw the biggest snake i've seen on the east coast. i'm pretty sure it was a water snake. it was black, probably about 6 ft long. it was spread out on the trail. i threw a bunch of rocks at it because i wanted to pass it without going near the disgusting thing, didn't hit it but it slithered away. it was sick. 

 ran 5.1 miles with kristin later at huntington park.
