A Nice Sunday Run

I always look forward to Sundays. Today was no exception. I do my "long run" on Sunday. Next Sunday is the Manhattan Half. So today is not what I would call a long run. A taper day. I usually run on Sundays with my good friend Chris. We met through running. Both part of the Mahwah Fleet Feet Galloway Marathon Training program. We both started it two years ago. Chris and I ran the Philly Marathon together in 2008. We've become really great friends. We socialize together...with the wives. Lots of fun. Go out for dinner; movies. Spent New Year's eve together. We both have daughters who are 2nd year college students.

All because of running. I love running.

So today Chris and I met at Mahwah HS and ran about 5.5 miles. Was really raw out; and the temp was about 30 degrees. The course we ran has a fair amount of hills which is good, since I know the 1/2 marathon next week will be hilly....its in Central Park. I know the park so well now. I ran 10 races in the Park last year. Nice easy run.

Spent the rest of the day in NY with Liz; went to Bloomies....she's looking for a dress for Jordan's Bar Mitzvah.....booooooring. But I guess successful. She bought TWO dresses. Really nasty in NY. But at last we're home. Chiling in front of the TV and watching the Jets.
