Sweat in the streets in the town of Manchester

Another week done and another good step in the right direction.  When your season is only 9 weeks long and you start out injured and cross-training, each week can be a big difference.  I’m really looking forward to taking my time with each step when I resume training in December after Nationals.  There won’t be the sense of urgency I feel now to get ready to race. 

On Wednesday I’ll fly out to Manchester, Connecticut (ya, not New Haven), race on Thursday and fly home Friday. Yes, I get another Thanksgiving.  It’s going to be fun to see friends I haven’t seen since the summer and last year.  Running a race with 10 000 people in it and tons of people lining the course is always a blast.  There are live bands and lots of drinking going on at 10AM.  Porches (and a couple roofs) are filled with people cheering throughout the 4.75 mile race. 

Race update should come on Friday here.  Results should be posted at http://www.manchesterroadrace.com/
