holy crap it's august 1st! based on the countdown calendar on igoogle page the Philly marathon is right around the corner.
looking at the last installment many moons ago I started my training by running the Toronto marathon. the race was a great success pr'd by a few seconds, but more important to me I ran negative splits. that is the second 13.1 miles was run faster than the first 13.1. Plus I ran it pain free. the only down side was a biblical case of chafing that had me walking like a cowboy for a week.
recovery was good. I took a week off from running then worked my way back in to a running routine. again all along feeling good.
the big challenge has been balancing work and training. I've discovered few running routes- running from the office to secaucus or Hoboken. the kick inn the Jimmy is that mo matter which way I head its a mile up hill.
so far so good.
