Hot outside. I don't know how you Southerners do it? I'm the biggest wimp when it comes to running in the heat. Bring on the fall...... and then I'll start to cry about how bad the New England winters are. 7:30 avg.

| 8.15 miles 4:50am start. Temps were good, legs were slow. I've made the determination that all I have been doing for quite some time now is base type of miles. I plan on continuing this until the new year. I would then like to get into a structured marathon training program for Boston. I have the "Advanced Marathon Training" book by Pete Pfitzinger..... does anyone have any experience with the training plans within? 7:51 avg. |

57 degrees and Sunny. After yesterday's day off and today's low temps, I was ready to roll. Fastest opening mile I have had in some time (7:10). I picked it up a bit after that and felt good throughout. 7:01 avg.
After reading Tracy's blog about Caning old men at Volleyball games, I thought that I would write about an experience that I had with a neighbor tonight. This guy thinks it's okay to let his dog piss on my mailbox, piss on the rim of my car and shit in my yard. Granted he carries a doggie poop bag, but still......I don't even own a dog, and if I did, I wouldn't let it deficate in my neighbor's yards. There is plenty of open green space in our neighborhood, including this idiot's own yard! This is the second time I have had to open my door an give this guy the business. The first time was last winter when I noticed him letting his dog do it's thing at the top of our yard where my girls had built their sledding starter ramps. The A-hole gave me attitude when I called him out that time! Anyways, when this family first moved into the neighborhood from Cambridge MA, my wife was talking to her sister on the phone when she noticed their 10yr old daughter running down the street barefoot. She couldn't believe her eyes when the girl took a hard right and proceeded to hike up her dress and crap in our front yard! Really!!!!! C'mon Man! I swear up and down...... true story.
So anyways, yeah..... I'm a little fired up. Maybe I should take my morning duke in their yard before my run. Oh and after my longer runs, write my name in cursive on their front door.

5am.... Running in the rain, just running in the rain, what a glorious feeling, I'm running again.
I met up with Kris Depew at a trailhead just before the Cumberland Farms in Maynard. It was dark and I thought that I got there before him until he came up on my blind side and spooked me. When speaking to Kris yesterday at our respective daughter's travel soccer game, he indicated that he was looking to run 20 miles at a 6:40-6:50 pace for his Sunday long run. No thank you.... I would have to respectively decline. The majority of my miles have fallen around the 8-7:30 average lately and the thought of 20 at sub 7 minutes scared me. (probably because I've never run 20 at sub 7 pace) A couple of hours later Kris texted me to say he was thinking more like 7-7:10 pace.... I was in, but not for the full 20. It ended up being a decent run, but I think the pace would have been more even throughout if we could see better during the early trail miles. We made it back to Kris's house at 12ish miles, I was done and he headed out for 8 more. Kris is entertaining the thought of his first marathon in October and was looking to get a decent effort in. All in all, a fun wet slog. Always good to run with Depew.

| 8.56 miles @ 5am There was a nice mist in the air this morning and the temperature was 55. I had to take my glasses off a couple of times and wipe them on my shirt. Probably about the fourth time I did this, while my glasses were off, a shady character materialized in front of me. If you take into consideration that I'm pretty much blind, when I replaced my spectacles, I let out a war cry when I was about to rub shoulders with this zombie shadow walker. Thanks for the adrenaline dude. 8:28, 7:51, 7:37, 7:39, 7:32, 7:21, 7:16, 7:02, (6:41 last .56) |
