Just ran the NYRR 18 mile Marathon Tune up race. I am committed to breaking the rules of the tapper. I always feel I tapper too much and don't have the conditioning once marathon time comes around. I am going to keep training. I will run the Gretta half marathon next weekend. The run was good, too humid. But I was feeling good. The race was good. I love running long the morning after learning about a world record being broken. Haile Gebrselassie broke the world record this morning in Berlin. That is awesome 2:03:59. The fall marathon season has started and I can feel the spirit around.

Chicago two weeks to go, it will be great. Hopefully I can PR. I think my season will be good. Chicago, NYC and maybe an ultra. We will see. Hopefully I can keep my goal of no more than 12 weeks between marathons in 09 and then move up to ultras.

But being on the east coast, it sucks that there are not that many ultras. I need to move to California to have more choices. I know Sri Chomney people have ultras all the time, but I am not running an ultra around a Flushing Meadows park.

I am excited about the season. I love the new shoe I am wearing the Brooks Ghost. Kick ass shoe, it should help.

As I sit here watchng Gebreselassie brake the record and then watch some baseball and football. This is going to be a good marathon season for everyone. See ya next time I post.

was at the game, Chris Perry is a good move. Rudi good riddance. Carson is back. Just needs to sink with Ocho Cinco. Defensive not as shitty as I thought. Giants fans need to stop harassing Bengals fans. Who Dey is the only response I could come up with. Giants stadium is a shit whole and they need a new stadium. Riverfront was better, Paul Brown puts Giants Stadium to shame. TJ to Carson connection back on track.



OT they should of gave up the run after 2nd down. The NFL should implement the OT rules from College football. Giving the Giants two chances in overtime a big mistake. Marvin needs some balls like Mike Shanahan. Maybe they should fo gone for it on 4 and 5 in regulation. But being in Cincinnati, he is probably inundated with the conservative BS in the nati.

Great 20 mile run. Amazing. Low humidity after days sweltering without AC. The Hurricane winds brought down the humidity. The run was perfect, besides the battery on my Garmin 405 dying. That actually was good, I just ran with the flow and I knew my distance. Perfect run nice 20. The Brooks Ghost rocks, this is an amazing shoe. I am so excitedc about it. MY pace was good in the shoe. The show was comfortable the enire run. x,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

New shoes brooks ghost, excited to try them out. But it is 86 degrees and nasty humidity. I am ready for the winter time. I want it to be cold. I need it to be cold. I am ready for cool fall weather. 45 degrees would be perfect. How about 17? That would be good. This heat and humidity is driving me crazy. I am sick of the summer heat and humidity.
