I hit up the track tonight for the first time in FOREVER b/c I am IN TOWN!! My club was supposedly there but it was a giant mish mosh of people and I didn't see anyone I knew (and only guys faster than me anyway) until I was finished. I ran 4X800 by myself in the 3:08-3:15 range and it felt pretty awesome to run fast. J4 stopped by the track on his run and we ran back home together.
I am just so stoked to train. On the planes home I read Duel in the Sun about the Boston Marathon and then the new book about the Hansons Brooks Project. I just want to RUN!!! And I want to run another marathon again. Kind of. I mean, I felt ROUGH at the 1/2 a week and a half ago and I really didn't want to run a marathon as I was finishing up that race. Prior to that I thought maybe I would I would do a fall marathon this year (Richmond in November?). But if I don't race until the fall I can't run Boston until 2014!!!!! What what?? So nuts. Also, the summer is hot here (J4 and I had to cut some of our runs short for safety) so maybe it's better to train for a marathon in the winter. Not that I even know why I want to go back to Boston b/c the 15 downhill miles to start the race killed me. But I do-of course. Anywhoo, I am currently stoked to train hard.
