Ow. Someone come rub me.

Yesterday's last super-long training run before the Marathon:

18 Miles
2:36:18
8:41 minutes per mile.

Ow does not even begin to cover it.

One more half marathon, (Staten Island, next weekend) then I start tapering - then it's race-day.

If anyone is in the 5-boroughs or surrounding area and wants to come out and look for me on Nov. 5, PM me, I'll send you locations, approximate times, etc., and you can do just that. I'd totally, totally appreciate it. :)

-Peter

I love giving backrubs! If I were there, I would definately help your sore muscles.

Were you happy with your time?

I used to run until I asked myself why?

Actually, I was thrilled. The run was 3 times around Central Park. Anyone who's run it before knows that Harlem Hill simply kills people. It eats them, and spits them out broken. So three times around at an 8:41 average just thrilled me.

Then of course, I got the photos sent to me from last week's half marathon in the park. I look... Well, scary. http://prdifferently.typepad.com/my_weblog/2006/10/separated_at_bi.html

That was actually amusing in a scary sort of way..... "Ahh.... look at the cute crazy person"

*actually I admire what you're doing. I've always wanted to run a marathon. It's on the list.

You look scary, also remember that rub has many meanings depending on your culture.

Feel better, and good luck.
