What to Pack For a 200-mile Adventure Relay | Health on the Run
What to Pack For a 200-mile Adventure Relay | Health on the Run
I'm creating my own list based on this... We should probably have a 'group' list for each van as well... Thoughts?

Run in Remembrance
This is the day after GG died. Lily ran her farthest at 1.75 miles. She had a good cry on my shoulder, and we had a great run. I love you Lily, and I look forward to many more runs with you.

Behind in Training
Here it is a week after my Quincy 1/2 and I'm now a week away from my next race, a 5K in East Bridgewater. This happens to also be the day my oldest daughter is having her 7yo Birthday Party. Pirate themed and 25 kids showing up... BUSY week and weekend preparing for it.
My parents will be in town that day from Phoenix, so I think my Dad at least will see me race. This will be the first race he has ever seen me run. I'm pretty much embarrassed that I'm not in top shape for this, but we'll see how it goes. I tend to be a freak when the pressure is put on, so I think I'll do OK.
Let the fast paces begin! I'll start off with some short fartlek runs through Thursday... Nothing long, nothing to fast, just warm up the legs and let it fly on Saturday. No ankle pain for 3.1 will mean faster times than what I did during the Quincy 1/2. I'm thinking the best I will be able to muster will be about 23 minutes for this race, but we'll see.... Dad's watching this race, I may be able to kick it up a notch!

2011 Kicks off with a Snap
This years winter was a tough and icy winter for us runners here in Massachusetts. I found it especially difficult to get out for runs. Then in January, in preparation for the Derry 16 Mile Boston Prep, I sprained my ankle! Here it is almost March and I'm still recovering.
After running 3 marathons in a 1 year timeframe, I ran my first 1/2 marathon this month! I ended up walking most of the last 3 hills because of this stupid ankle, hurting quite a bit, but I still got in right at 1:50... I'm not going to complain about that considering the miles I've put in, virtually none, and this ankle...
I ran a good part of this race with a lot of different CRR runners. It was great and I would not have done so well without them. I started out with Bobby, Sean, and Ted. Their goal was 1:50. They obviously crushed that, but it helped me with my final sprint at the end to make it at the goal time. I was quite pleased with that accomplishment. I look forward to seeing what I can do a 1/2 in without an injury and better fitness.
This week I start on pure fitness and put in miles when I can. Best of luck to all my friends running Boston! I hope to join you some day on that course, but it looks like it's getting a LOT tougher to get in!
