Marathon training continues

I was out of town last week and missed my long run.  This week I missed some training due to work so I'm way behind on my training for the Philadelphia Marathon.  Today I went to Valley Forge National Park to run the loop.  The outer loop path circles the park and is a little over 5 miles in distance.  I ran the loop three times and finished the day with 16 miles under my belt.  The loop has rolling hills so I expected to be a little slower then I was on the last 16 mile run on the trail.


Today I was wearing my t-shirt from the 2012 Upper Mainline YMCA triathlon.  A woman running the loop in the opposite direction was wearing the same shirt and on my last loop I guy running towards me yelled that he was in the same triathlon.

To climb steep hills requires slow pace at first. - William Shakespeare
