Day 165

• 3 miles
• 7:50/mile pace
• 2258
• Treadmill Holiday Inn Express, Baltimore, MD
• Hardest run in quite a while, guess the day just wore on me even though I didn't do much other than sit on various airplanes and deal with delays etc. -- well, I guess I did a significant amount of worrying about the presentation I was working on, but hard to think that's anyone elses fault :).   Anyway, as I was lost (f'n google maps) driving around looking for the hotel I seriously thought that to continue the streak I may have to stop, put on running shoes, run for 1.2 miles, then resume my vulture method of finding the hotel, but then I found it so I really had an hour to spare to get the run in.  The streak goes on...

Day 147

• 4+ miles
• Fast/hard (estimating 7:30/mi pace or better, ran for 30:52 hard)
• 0630
• San Juan, PRI
• Wasn't motivated to push it at all today, committed myself to just cruising for 30 minutes, decided while riding down the elevator that doing so was plenty, I am afterall in the taper stage of Becca's marathon plan, walked out the front door of my Holiday Inn Express, took two steps and saw a runner off in the distance that looked reasonably fit, but not running too fast and next thing I know I have decided that I must catch and pass them, but who knows when they may turn, so better do so quickly....it didn't take even half a mile, but once I start running fast I don't like to slow down and since I also don't like to run the same pace for very long that only leaves one option.   Glad I got a hard effort in this week, just wish I had a better idea of how far and how fast I went even though I know that knowing may be a disappointment.   Anyway, I will miss my ocean view runs and the teal water etc., but I am still very much looking forward to getting home.   Off to Miami, FL for next 2 days first, not out of the humidity yet.

Day 64

• 4.5 Miles
• Slowish -- check Cool Running
• 1945
• From/To home
• Couldn't get out of the hotel bed in Holiday Inn near JFK -- not because the bed was overly comfortable, just because I was beat...the walk home the night before in horrid rain didn't help.   Bec had both boys down for the night by the time I got home so we alternated runs, which was cool.  The Streak goes on.
