June 1rst - The first 10 mile Blue Planet Run leg for me was done in 1:03:03 and it was hot, hot...hot! It was done just out of NYC.

June 2nd - The second 10 mile leg was run mid way between NYC and Boston and was done in 1:01:33 after my morning 1:00:00 easy run in New London. I also fit in a 75 min Yoga session. This run was also hot but I had the compant of a professor from Yale who I talked to during my leg.

June 3rd - This day was a short day as we were running into Boston. I ran a small 4.48 mile leg after running 30:00 min easy in the morning.

June 4th - We are now in Ireland! and our team of four runners has the day off from having to run. I did take it as a full rest day.

June 5th - With the Snowdon mountains looming close by, I ran for 50:00 easy from the mountains to the hotel and then did a 11.3 mile leg in 1:07:01 from 1:30 AM-2:37 AM.

June 6th - Retreating back into a single run day, my run will most likely be done before midnight and might be running into Oxford. I had a great massage today from Natalie Price at the Ozone health and fitness club in Oxford. Very much needed. Thanks Natalie.

June 7th - Tonight we went to France.

June 12th - The 4:30 am start top my 10.4 mile run was in Holland and towards Amsterdam aith a time of 56:00 min. I then took to the streets in Amsterdam when we stopped for lunch and got in another 36 min of easy running while navigating the canals of the city of water.

Training Camp:

May 25th - Arrived later in the evening of the 25th after flying for most of the day. On the way fromt he airport in Albanny to Lake Placid (2hr drive) we decided to go eat dinner. ...so I went for a 30min easy run and then quickly joined them for dinner. Good thing as we never got into LP until 11:30 PM.

May 26th - The morning was slightly later than what's natural. I usually am up at 5:30 AM no matter what but woke up at 7:30 this morning. Lazy I guess. I then went for a 1:08:30 easy run with two of my team mates and then had a photo session and a video session. The afternoon had me having to go find a pair of shoes and fit in a 37:00 easy run.

May 27th - 1:15:00 Easy -AM, 30:00 Easy Afternoon ... In the evening our team practiced the night relay through little one mile relay event runs and on my run (my first BPR relay run) although it was only a mile and a practice, the magic started to unfold. Not sure what others saw but I had a little frog come out and meet me and then 30 sec later, a chipmunk came hopping out to me say hi.

May 28th - 1:00:00 Easy in the AM, 30:00 Easy with some hard strides in the afternoon. I'm getting in the habit of putting straides into the end of easy runs and its feeling fine.

May 29th - 1:13:30 Easy in the morning, 28:16 Tempo at lunch and 22:11 Easy in the afternoon. Total for the day - 2:03:57 . The day has flown by with the running being a great joy in running here amongst the mountains. Although the mileage has been built up, the legs are feeling fine... Tommorrow I will run again here in LP but then in the evening in New York City! My first visit and I am excited.

May 30th - I ran 1:04:00 easy in the morning in Lake Placid and then another 30min easy in NYC.

May 31rst - New York City... My first visit. A 2:10:00 Easy/ Short Interval run was done in Central Park and it was great. What an experience!
