Rest day!
Some random thoughts and pictures…
- I’m having a much calmer taper week this week compared to last week. I was a mess last week obsessing about goals and other things that are out of my control. Poor Matt.
- Speaking of goals, I promise to do a post next week about my A, B, and C goals. I’m still thinking about it and it’s also a little unnerving to post your goals for
the whole worlda few people to see. - It’s all easy runs from here on out. I want my legs to be fresh, fresh, fresh for the marathon. Better to have more rest than less rest.
- Some fun things people searched for and got directed to my blog: what to do when you don’t want to run, chewed up dog bed, marathon training and green beans (my favorite), and dad running (odd…my Dad doesn’t run).
- I apologize to the runners searching for the Penn Relays 20K results and got directed to my blog. Since the race does no advertising, they got Run The Long Road. Lucky runners.
- Oh, speaking of that race…I placed 7 out of 15 in my age group (30 to 39). Not too shabby considering it was a training run!
I’m done rambling…here are some random pictures.
That’s all the randomness I can take.
*If you don’t mind, please “like” this link on Facebook. Mark Keeley, a Philadelphia Gas Works employee, was killed in a gas explosion in January (he was only 19). He was a diehard Mumford and Sons fan and was planning to travel down south to see them live this year. His family and friends created a Facebook page in hopes of bringing the band to Philly this summer so everyone can see them live. They were told it can happen if the idea “gets enough attention”. They already have 13,000+ “likes”.
