20 miles and Chicago

I celebrated my 4-year anniversary of moving to NYC with a 20 mile run. I did a short 4.5 mile loop through Brooklyn and then tackled the bridges. I went over the Williamsburg, over the Manhattan, and then over the Brooklyn. Then I retraced my route to home.

This year I elected not to run the Chicago Marathon. As a matter of fact, I have sworn it off for the rest of my life after running it on the two hottest days in the history of the race in back-to-back years. Of course the weather was great this year. Well, it was a little cold, but better than the heat of the previous two years. Sammy Wanjiru set a new course record and several of my friends got their Boston-qualifying time.

Six weeks until Arizona...
