Weekend Wrap up - No workout Saturday - Two a day Sunday


As I sat on a VERY crowded 2 platform, I had a chance to reflect on this past weekend's training.

On Saturday I did zilch. Sesame Place was absolutely draining. Myself, Brenda, and Brady got back to the hotel at 3PM and rested up for a dinner at the always elegant Outback Steakhouse. We had our meals in relative ease and got back to the hotel at 7:15. Brenda bathed and dressed Brady and placed him in the wayy to small hotel crib.

This was the point where I would run to the gym to do work on its only treadmill. But, since we had a room and not a separate suite, we both had to "go to bed" so Brady will fall asleep.

Well, guess what? I fell asleep. The plus side is we did get 11 hours of rest.

Sunday started with a four mile slow run on the treadmill. It should appear on my NikePlus monitor. I showered up, met Brenda and Brady for breakfast and then went to Sesame Place for day two.

We left the park after two shows, some more rides, and one little boy yakking up his entire days meals (two many spinning rides). We got home in about one hour. We reunited the boys at my inlaws house and I left to start a bike run.

My bike run goes around the town of Rutherford totallying about 5 miles.

I plan to go around the route four times in the mornings which will equate to a 20 mile ride.

Not a bad workout day.

NYC Half Marathon 2 weeks away Elmo likes it!


The NYC Half Marathon is coming up on August 5th 2007. 13 miles in 75-80 degree weather.

I had to lay off some long runs due to a cranky right hamstring. For the most part it is much better, but now my thoughts of breaking 1:50 is going to "let's just finish and be happy that you can" mentality.

I will be doing a speed workout tomorrow of 10 400's at at 9:00 minute pace. Then afterwards myself, Brenda, and Brady will be off to (drumroll please) Sesame Place! The hotel we will be staying at has a small gym, so my Sunday will be a long run on a treadmill, which is less painful than a cement long run. When we return home, I'll be doing a master swim in the local YMCA.

It never ends...

See you on Monday!
