MY QUEST TO 50

MY QUEST TO 50
4 Down 46 to Go

My next state to run will be in Providence, Rhode Island which is about a month away and is a Half Marathon (13.1m), looking forward to visiting and checking out the sites while I’m there.

Marathon Training has officially begun this week, the first of my long run will be 8-9miles this week and I have a Boomer Cystic Fibrosis 10k (6.1m) race this coming Saturday in Central Park. I was sidelined for about a week on running because I started to get a weird feeling in my knee, not so much pain but felt some type of movement going on. I went to the doctor and I have runners knee which can be taken care of with the proper stretches and exercises. I am gradually building back up to running, my last long run was 2weeks ago which was 7 miles. Hopefully I will be at 10-12 miles by the time I have my long training race through New York Road Runners on July 28 which will be in Central Park as well.

Also with these hot days ahead please be sure to stay hydrated and be careful running outside.

Until next time, Happy Running everyone!!
