A Day Off from Training
Last night my wife and I quietly celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary, time sure flies when you are in love! We went to our favorite Greek restaurant and sat outside in the Biergarten, it was quiet for a Thursday night and we enjoyed each other’s company.
Tonight I want to run at least 3 hours on my hilly long run route. As I have probably said at one time or another, part of this trail is a section of the 80K/50M race route that I will be running in June. In any case it provides the best hill training opportunity in the otherwise flat area where I live.
On Saturday is the 8.9K Baden Mile race, at 3 p.m. in the afternoon. The weather forecast is interesting - for the first time in over 4 weeks it is supposed to rain, my guess is at 3 p.m.. I'm actually hoping that it does, it will eliminate some of the competition ;-)
I have stopped short of actually having a race strategy. With over 3300 runners expected at the start it is going to be crowded for the better part of the race. If I can break out of the pack early on then I'll go for a new PR, otherwise I'll just go with the flow.

Happy 19th! I love the big numbers - it reaffirms the institution of marriage and that love can be for a life time.
My friend Virginia will be celebrating her 44th this year, my parents their 52nd, and Eric and I our 28th. Isn't it grand?
