So we arrived back from the UK late Sunday night, and slowly getting back to normal. We had such a great trip. The Olympics was amazing. Such a great atmosphere, top sport and no rain! My kids are enthused and one in particular is focused on the 2024 gymnastics team! Here is a picture of us at the Coca Cola Beat Box, a Mark Ronson inspired musical installation that was pretty cool - and the torch photo was FREE!!!
As for running, it was a pretty good week. OK, I was slack on Cross Training and Strength, but I guess I did lots of walking at the Olympic Park (and Westfield Shopping Center!) on top of the runs. It was a recovery week, so just 7 miles on Sunday. The good news is it really did feel like 'just' 7 miles.
This week will ramp up again. 3 tomorrow, 6 on Thurs, 3 on Friday. Then Sunday is supposed to be 12 miles, but I am signed up for the NYRR Long Training Run #2. They go up to 20 miles, but I will skip out somewhere along the road, as will many people, as don't want to overstretch now....
