A Long Time Coming

This weekend I completed my longest run in over a year. I continue to see progress in mileage and quality, and I’m even more excited to have another race coming up.  Beach to Beacon has been on my “must race” list for years now.  My long-time hero, Joan Benoit Samuelson, founded the race and I always wanted to compete there.  The heat wave that suppressed the East Coast for the past couple of weeks has broken, so it should be a great race.  Andrew and Piper are joining me for the trip since I am still feeding her.  Piper turned 5 months old last week and hearing friends predict her sporting future has been amusing.  As long as I am speaking of age…

Next weekend I am attending my 20-year high school reunion!  Agoura High School produced some great runners over the years.  Names like Bryan Dameworth, Ryan Wilson and Amy Skieresz.  They weren’t in my graduating class, but it will be fun to connect with teammates and classmates.  Until then, my week is action packed with a long run, miles repeats and a tempo run.  Always more work to do…
