Well, I’m afraid time has gotten away from me! Several of you have helpfully pointed out that I’ve not posted an update in QUITE awhile. Yes, it’s true and I apologize. Life has become exceptionally busy in the last two months. Part of the problem is this: I’m now officially a graduate school recidivist. As a consequence, I’ve spent much of the the past two months up to my knees in social science treatises. Good times! That doesn’t mean that I haven’t been training, however. With two weeks before race-day, I’m pleased to report that we are on track!
Marie and I just returned from a short trip up to New Hampshire. While there, I was able to log an EXTRAORDINARILY beautiful 8 miler. For those of you who haven’t been to NH, you really must go! It’s full of some of the most beautiful views and most friendly people you can imagine. Being several hundred miles north of New York, the temperature in late October is pretty chilly up there. As you can see from the images, the foliage is in its full autumnal glory. I did run in shorts, but was extremely glad to have my gloves and long-sleeved jersey. In fact, I wish I’d had a hat!
On a side note, tomorrow the MMRF Marathon Team is doing its first group run. We’ll be running the final 10 miles of the marathon route with our Team Coach, Tom Holland. I’m looking forward to finally meeting my team-mates. The only bad news is that the weather is going to be miserable. By “miserable” I mean, 45 degrees and raining - hard. So, this will be a good opportunity to test our team mettle! Nobody said it was going to be easy, right? I’ll let you know how it goes.
Forward!
