Runner’s diary, Thursday (sort of)

Light day today, walking around New Hope in the sun. Vacation is a nice thing. That’s why the blog has been so light.

I may offer some posts later and tomorrow as I start to look ahead and get back into the swing. We’ll see.

Anyway, no run today — needed recovery time after running 12 miles yesterday in just over two hours. Hard to conceive of another six. Wow.

Seventeen days and counting.

Runner’s diary, Tuesday

Busy yesterday — out of the office all week — so I didn’t post my progress. Race is now 19 days away.

Monday: Six miles in 57 minutes
Tuesday: Four miles in 39 minutes

Only concern is a sore lower back, but I’ve upped my stretching and will ice later. Cross your fingers friends.

As I wrote last week, I plan to use the LBI Commemorative 18-Mile Run (a fundraiser for the St. Francis Community Center in Brant Beach) to raise some money locally, as well.

I’m asking readers to help by sending donations to one of four organizations: the South Brunswick Human Intervention Trust Fund, the Deacon’s Food Cupboard in Jamesburg, the Monroe Township Food Pantry and Skeet’s Pantry in Cranbury.

Readers who are interested should make checks out to the South Brunswick Human Intervention Trust Fund, the Presbyterian Board of Deacons (for the Deacon’s Food Cupboard) at the Jamesburg Presbyterian Church, the First Presbyterian Church of Cranbury (for Skeet’s Pantry), or the Friends of the Senior Center (for the Monroe Township Food Pantry). Send them to the South Brunswick Post/The Cranbury Press, P.O. Box 309, Dayton, N.J. 08810, attn: Hank Kalet.

Thanks in advance.
