Back At It

So, I've recovered from the Boston Marathon and have gotten back to my regular running schedule. The arrival of spring has also meant a return to the world of bike commuting in our house. I've been spending quite a bit of time with Coach Speedy out on the roads and bike paths in recent weeks. Today, I did 14 miles on the bike commuting to the office with 2 hours of heavy lifting during a project for work - I wonder if that counts as weight training?

As spring turns to summer I'll be gearing up for the 2010 Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC but before that I'll be running the Chase Corporate Challenge, Bill Oliver 5k in NJ and the Somerville Road Runner's Summer Steamer. Along the way, I'll blog a bit about summer training challenges, summer races in the Boston area and anything else that comes to mind.

I have a few friends tackling new running distances, running their first race this spring, and some who are taking their first (adult) running steps - good luck out there everyone!
