It has been a good last few weeks of running for me. I had some good track workouts the first two weeks, I won the 2nd Annual Go Far Mud Run in Harrisville, and last week I put in all long runs and got to 60 miles on only 4 days of running. My average has been about 52 miles, which is far more than I have ever been able to do. Plus, I have no real major issues or injuries, so I feel like I am in a really good place to start marathon training for the fall. The race I had planned to run was sold out, and the Hartford Marathon conflicts with a friend's wedding, so I signed up for the Wineglass Marathon in Upstate New York for October 2nd. Is is supposed to be relatively fast, with only about 2000 runners. Roma will be doing the 1/2, and it should be a good way for her so set a solid running goal for the summer. Yesterday we ran 6 miles on the Northampton trail, and she took a hard fall after only about 1 1/2 miles, cutting both hands, her knee and a bad scrape on one elbow. But she regrouped, rinsed off in the river and finished the run. A Keenyan in the making. So now my summer should be good training, with a few races thrown in to give me something to shoot for. I want to be under 26 min for 4 on the Fourth, run Bridge of Flowers faster than last year, low 1:30s or break 1:30 for Swanzey, under 2 hours for Pisgah, pace Jeff for the last 1/2 of the deMar, and 3:10 for Wineglass. That would be a good summer. Here are the last few weeks:
