Cross Training!

2 squash games this week, two short quick runs and a pool session. Only about 4 hours training in total but I'm winding down now anyway. The Olympic race is next weekend and the half 2 weeks later so resting up is starting to become more important than squeezing extra hours in - well, that's what I tell myself anyway. The runs were both organized ones - Saturday a routine 4 mile NYRRC marathon qualifier race and Sunday the "Komen Race for the Cure". The latter was a huge event for which Kate had skillfully organized a big team and a busy team schedule for the weekend which revolved primary around eating and drinking lots as all good team sports should! I paced about 7:40 per mile in both events which I think is pretty decent for a big old unit like myself. Roll on race day baby...
