Aren’t you all just Planny McPlannersons? I have been hearing that road races fill up ridiculously early these days – the big sur half filled up 9 months early – so maybe its a good thing.
I have my spring race in 6 days. The 3M half marathon in ATX. Yes it is spring in Texas. The course drops about 250 feet from start to finish, so I think it is conducive to a fast time. I’m going to aim for 1:18.
I had several races scheduled over the next 4 months, but it looks like field work might scuttle them all. Am I really going to throw the fuck down with Pike on Morgan St? Really? The idea fills me with many emotions. Call me weak, but I’ve taken a lot of joy in owning on the faceless weekend warrior over the past few years. We’ll see. Insulting my kick might change things.
I’ve had a nice 3 weeks in NYC visiting Kim. She lives near Prospect Park, which has a nice 3.3 mile loop. I also took to runs through the hasidic jewish neighborhoods to Coney Island. Nice running, but it is so weird to be told were not to run. It is very central to my being to be able to run on any street I see on a map. Oh well.
I will post of my doings next Sunday.
