Much too long since an update

I've been training, but not to the mileage volume I need to be. As the weather warms, I'm getting more motivated. I got in a nice hour run up in the catskills on friday. Its amazing how great a run can feel when you are in the mountains. The air feels fresh and you are surrounded by nature. I really wish I would have taken my bike with me, as there was plenty of great riding up there, however, I really wouldn't have had much time to ride.

I drove back today and got in an hour and a half. I ran from my place to the Williamsburg Bridge. I went over and back twice and then wound my way back home along the water and around McCarren Park. Not bad, but I need to get in 2-3 hours tomorrow. Hopefully closer to 3, but we'll see what kind of endurance I have on the second day. I haven't built up to back-to-back long runs being the norm again, so its a fairly daunting task as least for the next couple weeks. Eventually I will be knocking out 3-4 hours on back-to-back days and not even thinking about it twice.
