Last time I left you I was planning on a long run in Tyler Park on Friday afternoon, before heading to Connecticut. Well, I foolishly didn’t eat lunch before heading out with Allyson for a 16 mile run and 3 miles in my body reminded me of this. I started to feel weak and dizzy and decided to call it a day at 5 miles. Traded the rest of my run in for Chick-fil-a, but I didn’t sacrifice my miles I just moved everything around some more. I swapped my rest day with Saturday and manned up and did my 16 mile long run in Connecticut on Sunday. Allyson and I ran all around the town of Norwalk through little strip malls in town until the neighborhood started to look sketchy. I always say that my street smarts outweigh my book smarts, so when my eyes start to see boarded up store fronts, graffiti, and burnt down and abandoned homes the message was received and the legs knew that it was time to turn around and head back. Once we got back to where we were staying we ran through a nice section of homes where all the street signs were named with “wood” which got my mind thinking that if we’re running on EastWood past BoxWood will we at some point run onto MorningWood? Once we’re out of the “woods” we finished with a strong 16 miles. As you all can probably contest to, getting your training runs in while away can be tough, so I was proud of Allyson and myself for getting up and getting it done. We stuck around for lunch and to watch the Sixers spank the Knicks, before hitting the road to expand our trip of CT. We drove 90 minutes up 95 North to the FoxWoods (Woods again!) where we stayed 2 nights at the very nice MGM casino and hotel. Allyson and I both enjoy playing black jack every so often and have been known to win some money doing it (this was not one of those times). We may not have won any money, but we did win his and hers watches and had a really good time. We headed back Tuesday morning and did a 5 mile run in Tyler Park with my Birthday present! To be continued…
The grammar police were out again, and I was told that my 10th sentence should have been two sentences and that I missed used the word "contest" it should have been "attest". I apologize for these grammatical mistakes.

This should read: "As you all can probably attest to, getting your training runs in while away can be tough. I was proud of Allyson and myself for getting up and getting it done."
I'm glad these post are being read, I think...
