‎"Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win."-Tom Fleming

and to prove this point with some recent running news, The fastest man in the world was recently beat by Tyson Gay, and Usain made it very clear why he was beat.

No excuses there.


Well, on my training front, I hit ran 70 miles last week. Nothing really spectacular about the week of training, I pretty much just ran 10 miles a day, with the exception of 12 on Tuesday, and 8 on Sunday. This is probably the easiest way to get in a 70 mile week. Sunday was probably the hardest run. Planned to run at Walden pond while Jess was swimming, but I wasn't feeling it. I was almost on the verge of calling it a no run day, but I told Jessica to drop me off 8 miles from the house on the way home. THis was I was forced to get in a run, that or a really long walk home. It worked out. I hope to start getting back in the habit of doing a weekend long run, but I am not sure when this will happen.

Thought I'd post a picture of the Stowe 8 miler. Not because I am in the pic, but more so for the lovely Green Mountains in the background.
