Dana and I began our training at the beginning of the year with the goal of running a marathon in the May-June time frame. Looking on the website Running in the USA proved to be somewhat disappointing. Our goal weekend (last weekend in May) and the weekends before and after didn't have much to offer. Our best choices were Sugarloaf Maine, a bit to far of a drive for our taste and the Lake Placid Marathon, a bit to challenging with its hills. We ended up settling on the Providence Marathon .
We're hoping the early may weather will be a change of pace from the 80 degree, 100% humidity that was Burlington last year. The course looks flat on an easy out and back, something we can definitely handle.
Today we had a cool 5 miles with 3 x .10 mile hill sprints at the end. I felt good for most of the run and crushed the sprints.
In other news Gronk (Rob Gronkowski) is becoming bigger than football. I'm pretty sure they had Gronk in mind when they made media week at the super bowl. If this is gronk comedy gold:
then I can only imagine that during media week Roberto will be going platinum.
Isn't the date of the Providence marathon the same as your graduation?
