Great week running for me. Total of 22 miles. 6 on Tuesday, 6 on Thursday and then 10 fast miles today. Fast is always a relative term but for me it was 10 miles in 1:25:00. That pace over the 26.2 miles would easily put in under the Ryan Reynolds time of 3:50:22. My new pace time is to push to finish in 3:45:00. That would leave me some time open in case of a minor breakdown...not emotionally of course...but one of a phyical nature.
Anyway, training is going well. If I could ever give up Ben and Jerry's then I would really be kicking some ass. But that damn chunky monkey is so difficult to avoid!! Down to 204 pounds from 217 when I started this journey. Good stuff.
NYC half marathon coming up two weeks from today. I would like to run the race at 199 so I've got some work to do over the next 2 weeks. BTW, running over 8 miles in August is similar to 30 minutes in the sauna!!
Not sure what Ryan is doing lately, but, "Definitely, Maybe" showed up on HBO this month and my wife has already seen it 3 times. That didn't stop from me from having to watch it again. Most guys can recite lines from "Old School" or "Animal House"...I can recite lines from freakin "Definitely, Maybe"....shhhhhhhhhhhhh don't tell anyone!!!
