I haven't posted anything in a couple weeks and in my head I had pretty much decided to give up blogging after only a few posts. For some reason I feel like I have to write this thing for other people to read but really why should I give a shit. i should be writing it more for myself, a way to look back over my training and my life as the year progresses so I'll give it another shot.
Tuesday nights are a "Group Run" night with the Philly runners. It seems since the new year every Tuesday night a small group of us head off for 8 miles while the majority of the group does a 4.4 mile run. I am loving the longer runs for the not only the training benifit but the company. I really do enjoy running with other people and if you had to pick people to run with this group would definitely be a good choice. The 8 mile group varies from week to week but you can always count on varied conversation and a good run.
Talk was a little lighter than normal tonight. Ian, a regular on this run, and one that is very good at starting conversation was absent. Our group headed out with the regulars Anglo Mike, Chem Steve, and Jim. We had a couple others including and older runner who I met for the first time. His name escapes me but I was surprised to see him stick around with us for the longer run, turns out he has run a couple marathons a year since 1978. I am sure that he would have been able to run all of us into the ground. The run was easy at about 8:00 pace over Spring Garden, Zoological Drive, lansdowne, sweetbriar, belomnt, chamioux, strawbery mansion bridge and then back on the resevoir drives. 10 miles in all and every one felt great.
