I just realized I put yesterday's run on Wednesday - OOPS!  Not sure how to fix it :(

 Paula has gone camping so I ran with our neighbor Renee today.  She is the mom of "super fast Dallen"  She was great to come along and pace me on a slow recovery run.  I am not good at doing this on my own.  We had a great time chatting and visiting.  She is doing a great job running and will continue to improve with more time.  Finished the 3 with her and was feeling like adding on a little more and so went another mile on my own.  I did okay keeping it slow for about the first half and then continued to battle the legs desire to go faster.   Now I am mentally gearing up for a long solo run tomorrow.

Happy Running!

Those long solo runs can be tough! I think they prepare you mentally for a race when you have to push through it on your own. I know running bymyself occassionaly helps me in my races when i end up with no one around me. Have a good run tomorrow!

I wish you could come down and run with the SF group tomorrow for your long run. Then it wouldn't have to be solo! Dang gas prices!

Just have some great tunes on your mp3 player. :-) Good Luck with your run tomorrow!

Your trip sounds like a blast! I just love NYC. Clyde is way jealous of all the baseball games too! Enjoy the long run today...you are probably doing it right now while I sit here and blog!
