Tomorrow is race day. After all the training, fueling and mental prep, the excitement is building. Big races are fun. Well, all races are fun. However, the big races seem to amplify all the good stuff. As a club points … Continue reading
Not much excitement to report on the last two runs. Last night I had an easy 6.5 mile trot along the bridle path (save for a restroom visit to Time Warner Center) in the misting rain. I wanted to make … Continue reading
