Not Much Sun

It's been pretty cloudy for the past few days. It was like that all weekend. The temperatures have been mild and most of the snow that was on the ground has melted. I hear we get a couple of more inches tonight. Let's see if the sun comes out today.

Busy

I didn't blog all weekend. I was busy with work. I did get out there and run 7 miles today. I'm going into work in a couple of hours. See you later.

28 Miles

I've run 28 miles this week. That's 28 more miles than I ran last week. I feel like the flu is behind me. I really want to get out there and run tomorrow. that would push me past the 30-Mile mark. I've been adding weights to my workout program. Now all I need to do are the sit ups and side ups. Keep stretching.

Nice Day

The sun is out and the skies are blue. It is warm out today with the temperature in the low 50's. I'll take that for January in this part of the world. I went out and ran 7 miles this morning. On my way to at least a 30-Mile running week. I plan to do it all over again tomorrow.

Time Out

After running 2 days in a row I decided to not go out there and put miles under my feet. Today was a day for weights & stretching. I'll get out there and run tomorrow. I want to get at least 30 miles of running in by the end of the week. I'm on pace to do that. Having had the flu the week before, it's better to build up my energy. Back in training mode.

Running 2013

I went out and ran 7 miles today. I've done it 2 days in a row now. This will be a big year for my running experience. I might not run as many races as I did last year, but I plan on a strong training program. I did qualify for the New York City Marathon this year and I'll make a decision on what other races I might like to run. I also plan on cross training more than ever. Stretching, weights, cycling and running will be part of my plan. Keep in shape.

AFC Ajax

In 4 weeks I'll be in Amsterdam and one of things on my itinerary is going to see the soccer team AFC Ajax. They are the defending champions of the Eredivisie League in The Netherlands. I bought a ticket where my seat is just behind one of the goals. They play in a place called the Amsterdam ArenA. It holds about 50,000 people and has a retractable roof. Another thing I'm looking forward to doing over there.
