South Brunswick’s road warriors

I ran six miles today — on the treadmill, but six nonetheless — and am starting to feel good about my running again. I did 15 miles last week in four days of running, 16 in five runs the week before, with the goal being 25 miles in a week, five days on the road, with the long-term goal being next year’s Long Beach Island run.

So far this week, I’m at 14 miles — four miles each on Tuesday and Wednesday, six today. I’m shooting for three tomorrow and then three on Sunday during the second Viking 5K.

The race last year was quite successful (I unfortunately missed it), with the money going to help athletes through the Viking Athletic Club.

I make no promises — I’ve learned that doing so is just bad politics, so to speak, but say hi if you see me.
