Haven't written for a while

It has been a while…here is what transpired the past week or so:

Friday 06/24: Weight 220…ran about 5 miles with friends at trashmore…then did 3 “strommen” hill repeats.  My hill climbing needs help…since I haven’t played soccer in a while, my quads are week…the upcoming hill training in July will do me some good in preparation for Marine Corps Marathon.

Saturday 06/25: In DC for Caribbean Carnival…did no exercise (unless you count street dancing)

Sunday thru Wednesday…raining…okay…not a good excuse…but just didn’t feel like getting soaked.

Thursday 06/30: Weight 218: will run about 4 or 5 miles moderate pace tonight…if no lightning…will run in the rain if necessary…next event is July 4^th 8k (5 miles). My official PR is 46:17 (Shamrock 2004), my unofficial PR is 44:54 during a 5 mile timed trial in October 2004.  Notice, these were both cool weather runs.  So…factoring heat and estimating current conditioning, I should be able to run 48:something…so my goal is 47…
