I'm back. Haven't checked this in ages, but just ran a 10miler and it made me think of y'all so I came back. Hope everyone's doing great. Have a great smoke-free Labor Day!

I'm here too! Way to go on the tri Andy! I haven't been around too much lately but my training for the NYC marathon is going well. I ran 18 miles last Saturday which was pretty cool considering 2 years ago a minute on the treadmill was pure hell.

Nice job on the 10 miler Megs!!!!! Jen are you going to run the New Haven road race on Monday? I'll be running the 20k.

Hi,
I ran New Haven 20k on Labor Day, first time I ever race more than 6th.2 miles. I finished in 1hr56 which was lower than the 2hr max I had trained for.
Not smoking for a few months helped, for sure. Now the Hartford half Marathon is the next challenge....

Hi Megs,

I also ran the 20k in New Haven and finished behind Patarch at 2:06. I ran 12 miles on Saturday and I used this to see how my body would react to another long run with just 1 days rest. I'm figuring I'll be tired after mile 20 in the marathon so I was trying to practice for that. My legs were tired the whole way through but it was a good test.

Nice time Patarch! I was also hoping to break 2hrs but Monday wasn't my day. I'll be doing the Hartford 1/2 as a final tune up to NYC. Maybe I'll see you there. My 6 & 7 year olds are doing the kids race and my 14 & 15 year old sons will be doing the 5k. So it will be a family affair.

Hey Gang,
Nice job to Sully and Patarch1 on the 20k. Good luck with NYC. I'm dreading the Disney marathon in January. That will be my 1st attempt at 26.2 Until then I've the Reach the Beach 200mile relay coming up next friday-saturday, then I've got the Half at the Hamptions in October. Got to start building some mileage. Looks like we're all doing well considering we're all EX-smokers!
