Final training run before NYC is in the books. 3 (8:09, 7:42, 7:14) Well thats a rap and I after my double race entry.. I probably wont update this blog until the spring time. By far this was the most dedicated training season ever. I missed zero runs dues to laziness, weather and or life obligations. Im pretty proud of that as I look back. There were some nights where I didnt start running until 11 at night. There were some days missed due to aches and pains (calf and achilles) mainly and few just to general soreness when I felt my body needed a break. I was very focused on the long runs.. most of the time I ended up doing them by myself because my teammates were running too fast. As the season ended.. I noticed my time dropping greatly and I was finding myself further up in the pack with little effort. I vividly remember my coach pulling me aside on day 1 back in June and saying "todd.. I dont care what it takes.. were getting you to the start line healthy". Well I trained smart and very disciplined and have made that happen. To be honest whatever happens in NYC happens. Im still not sweating it. Im just going to go enjoy myself. Crash |
