But I’m back…after a long business trip followed by the changing Philadelphia weather harnessed to one heckuva cold, I went out today for a brisk 3 miles, keeping the heart pumping the whole way. I missed out on my final 20 mile run yesterday, so I had to remind myself that I’m a runner today. Looks like I’m gonna have to do something drastic and run something close to a 20 miler this weekend. It wasn’t exactly the way I would have had it, but then again, neither are most things in life…

I might have to pony up for a new pair of Mizunos (Mizuni?) before the big day. I beat sneakers to a pulp. High arch, high instep, wide feet…do the math. Shooting for over 30 miles this week and then the mighty taper. Let’s all ask for runner’s weather from here on out.
