Ugh, long run after work.  Went to a new bike path to scope it out.  It's seriously an 8 mile long straight line that is dead flat.  It was a cold, wet run and it was dark when I got done.  Boo.  Felt good overall but my left ITB is still a little wonky.  Average pace: 7:40 with the last 2 miles a bit faster

did 2 on the treadmill before bed.  I wanted to do more but I was just eh and my knee was eh so I aborted.

 

On the super exciting note, Boston 2013 is official as of Sept 23rd!!  Hoping to run sub 3, but not super thrilled about winter long runs in upstate NY

Boy, I almost bagged it before work this morning but I couldn't fall back to sleep so I was out the door.  Did 7 at a nice comfortable pace at the a park (Pace: 7:30).  Knee felt ok so that's good.

 

On a center of attention note:  I decided to create a photo blog of my running/life/anything else.  I'll probably be mundane but maybe I'll hit it big and get to go on Ellen and we'll dance on stage!

Enjoy
