It has been a busy 3 weeks or so ---- it started with a trip to SanFran for a few days - a good trip but VERY busy. Days were basically 12 hour days. I did manage to fit in two runs - each just under 7 miles down through the Embarcadero. It was of course windy but running near salt water was GREAT - felt like I could run forever.
The next week was in DC and it was a beautiful week. Got to swim, run and ride lots. Bike commuted one day - about 50 miles round trip so a good ride. The miles all felt great. I knew the week after would be rough on training - so I started to prepare for that.
Little did I know that the week in London would be so rough. Do
not get me wrong - Love London - but where I was in Earls Court area - not a great place for running etc... I did get in 6 or 7 miles the day I arrived - from Earls Court - through Kensington - Knightsbridge and into Hyde Park. I love running in a new city - all the new things just make the miles float away. I ran by the Diana memorial along with the Prince Albert memorial and rolled back to Earls Court. The few days in London were busy as well but I did get to enjoy some of the city - got to run into the British Museum, the Natural Museum (really cool animatronic dinosaurs) along with Harrods. In all cases I do mean run - spending less than 30 minutes in each. The worse part of the trip was coming down with some sort of chest "thing". I have been hacking up a lung since mid last week. That of course has meant bad nights sleeping and I have not been able to train. Hopefully will get this cleared up in the next day or so - only 5 weeks to the race.
