The Art Of Running

I will be running the Yonkers Marathon in 12 days. All of my training is going into this race. I've run 7 miles each of the last 2 days. I plan to run another 7 miles tomorrow. I hope to get a good long bike ride in this weekend. It has been quite rainy this week. And then next week I have to ease up on the running and just do some light weights & plenty of stretching exercises. I like to call it, "The Coiled Spring Effect" where I've tightened up my body on a conditioned level and then my mind is set to handle the long distance. I do love to run. It has become a creative outlet for me. It is performance, dance and competition. At the very least, I want to run Yonkers under 4 hours. I did last year. Back to training.
