8 DOWN 42 TO GO!

8 DOWN 42 TO GO!!

Hi everyone!

It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog, I think since my Disney Half Marathon back in January.  

First I would like to send my prayers and sympathy to all the victims from Monday’s attack during the Boston Marathon. We live in a crazy world where terrorist want to attack innocent victims but we must strive forward and stand strong and not let them win. I am dedicating my next 26.2 miles to the victims from Monday, although not many runners but a lot of spectators were hurt some of which were children.

So here is a recap on my running since January, I’ve ran a 5k race and 15k in the last 2 months.

My 5k was the Coogan’s race held in Washington Heights, I did very well surprisingly with very little sleep the night before which I don’t recommend to anyone but I guess my adrenaline had me going and I set a record for this 5k.

My 15k was recently in beginning of April and I did very well also, I beat my time from last year by 3 minutes and I felt great.

I am attributing my training lately to spinning twice a week and running less about 3 times a week and focusing on just getting better. I have a 4 mile race in 2weeks and a half marathon a month from now in Brooklyn. As far as any destination races I am stuck at 8 states for now perhaps till September which I’m hoping to do Virginia on Labor Day weekend.
