Not really. I had to cut my run short 8 minutes in tonight because of lightning. I got home about 30 seconds before the wind picked up and a minute before the heavy rains and thunder.

IBTNP hates when they have to cut runs short!

True, because usually it's for something silly and annoying.

IBTNP ran too many hills today!

False. Same old good route ain't broken... same old good route ain't gonna be changed. Smile Not as bad as it sounds... I can run in a great river valley with unbroken pathways, trees, and parks, or I can run next to roads. I'll take the river valley!

IBTNP is turning to the dark side and considering training for a spring triathlon over the winter.
Goals for 2009:
Find the perfect jogging stroller
Sub-3hr Marathon
Contemplate an ultra

Nope. But hopefully I'll be training for marathon #2 after completing #1 this fall .

I'll bet the next peep has never run around the lower tip of Manhattan Island.

Correct, never been to NY.

IBTNP just realized how close their next race is and is worried they won't be ready.
