Pic from the Boilermaker


OK...maybe the Blog is more about recording my thoughts...

I got a bit discouraged a while back as I had no followers, but having gone a bit without writing I realized that I am not doing this blog for others...it’s for me!

I did ok in the Boilermaker and would recommend it to anyone in the northeast! It is a great event. Huge after party and great support during the run. The most surprising thing was that you did not see a lot of walkers. In other big 10Ks (like the Bridge run in Charleston) you see a lot of walkers. Not that there is anything wrong with walking...I am a fan of walking ;-). It was just odd that in the Boilermaker all I saw was running...

After the race I went too far too fast and pulled both my hip flexors. It got to the point where I had trouble just walking, and my running gait was just abysmal. It took over a month to get back into a regular schedule. But I am back to my training agenda from last year (from the book…Marathon Running for Non-runners.)

Ran a 14 on Sunday and felt pretty good. Still running slow, but losing weight a pound at a time
