going strong

It's balmy and oftentimes muggy in NYC right now, with highs in the upper eighties, and humid. I'm not sure what's more miserable in humid heat- hours of running, or ten minutes waiting on the subway platform. Maybe being from Georgia, Brian is conditioned for it, but this west-coast native squirms in the humidity. And yet the training must go on... Brian's pretty much running every day, alternating shorter and longer runs, and last weekend he had a 17-mile (yes, read it, seventeen) training run. Whew!

We're still doing regular team training runs for support and for fun, we've had three rounds thus far. As the days become shorter, the evenings are more bearable, and a loop of a few miles isn't so bad. So I hear.
