As I was out there today, I realized I hadn’t done a training run since 3 September. That’s 18 days with no running outside of races. So I ran tonight<\/a>, I ran so far away…I want to put in 40 miles this week I’m a little behind. Not on my yearly goal, in fact I only need 17 miles more this month to be right on target, but I want to bank some miles because the NWS (National Weather Service) says the Northeast is going to have another rough one this Winter. I do love the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. They do much needed work that just has no profit in it. For profit weather and meteorology tends to sensationalize and causes us to buy all the milk in the supermarket for no reason! It is one of my Winter pet peeves.
\nMeanwhile, my legs are very tired today. Seems races are much harder on my body than just training runs. Kept my pace well though and finished well. Quinnipiac University called me about their study before and after the upcoming Hartford Marathon, so I guess I will be participating in that. They’re going to take a little blood before, a little blood after and see what’s what. Interesting, I like science, so I’ll help science. Speaking of blood, this Friday I’ll go give a pint. It’s definitely important, I know I’ve discussed that before, if you can give blood, go do it, there’s no reason not to. No excuses!
\nOther than that, I realized I can’t spend the first 3 months of the year in Europe, I have a very important thing to do here in March that I can’t talk about because it’s a present for someone very important whom I can’t mention, because it would give it all away. All I can say is, it’s a for a relative. So I have to wait and make my plans and then plan to go back to Europe I suppose, for either London or Rome. As I said, we’ll find out next month.
\nAlright, you folks have fun, keep running, because if Gil can run, then so can you!<\/p>\n
