Training Day 3

I should mention that my training consists of running by myself during the week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and running with the group from Team In Training for longer runs on Saturday mornings. For the month of June I'll be running 3 miles during the week and then from 3-6 miles on the weekend.

June is a busy month because I'll also be running two road races: the 5-mile Reunion Run at Cornell on June 10th (as part of my 10th reunion) and the Marion Village 5K on June 24th in Marion, Massachusetts. Larsson is also registered for the Marion race. He and Nora will start out the race being pushed by me in the double jogging stroller but Larsson will get out of the stroller towards the end and run the last bit over the finish line. This will be his third road race and he is excited.

The Reunion Run will satisfy my running requirement for that Saturday but I'm supposed to run 6 miles on the 24th so, if you can believe it, I am actually going to be one of these people who finishes a race and then goes out and keeps running. I used to make fun of these people.

In case you were wondering, I did indeed run my 3 miles yesterday and today. Nothing eventful to report, which is probably for the best.
