training? what training?

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.
