So I've been quiet on the blogging end lately. I finally signed myself up for some races. I've been keeping the same schedule on the training end. My runs have improved significantly since the temperatures have gone down.
Sunday I did a 14 mile run with my Garmin Forerunner 305 logging the info. I averaged a 6 min 48 second mile pace for the entire 14 miles. I was tore up afterwards so I know I was working hard. Monday, labor day I ran a 5 mile recovery run and felt like absolute shit. I guess that's why it is called a recovery run.
I'm excited to race soon. I want to put all this training to use. Lately, I've taken a back seat to racing because I'm helping my wife train for the Marine Core Marathon. Its been fun not having to think about racing. I also enjoy spending my mornings with the kids while Momma is out training. I get to sleep in and hang out with my babies.
The two races I have coming up (which I signed up for already) are the Cape Henelopen Duathlon on October 11th (1.5mile run, 14 mile bike, 5k run). Second race is the 10 mile back yard burn run at Wakefield Park (Novermber 1st). I got 6th in this race last year with a time of 1 hr. 5 min. with no training. This time I want to podium. I ran out of gas last year and got passed towards the end of the race. NOT THIS TIME BABY!!!
All for now, check back later for more updates.

Welcome back to the dark side ;-) (multisports)!!!
Danny,
I'm glad to be back. Hope to see you at a race someday soon. BTW, we will be in EP in Dec. Dec 4 -12, maybe You, Mike and myself can hook up for a run.
Wow bro, you're running fast! I would have loved to have run that 6:4X pace for that half marathon I did. I look forward to seeing your race result. Are you going to break the hour?
Steven,
If your talking about the 10 mile run, I doubt it. The course is to technical.
The duathlon, I don't know. Best time for the winner last year was 1 hr 2 min. I know I can avg a faster bike time than the winner. Running wise he is slightly faster than me.
