Ryan chooses NYC!!!

Not surprising news, but exciting opportunity for Ryan Hall to win one of the most prestigious races in the world. Not to mention the U.S. Marathon Championships will be held in conjunction with the NYC Marathon, so he and Brian Sell will take their best shots at a national title as well. So a lot to look forward to this fall in the marathoning world - Geb vs. Kibet in Berlin, Wanjiru in Chi, and Hall and Sell in NYC. I can't wait!!!

Last night, did an easy 4 with Crystal on the trails. Weather was pretty cool and slight breeze - mid 70's, another beautiful evening :) Both of us were feeling a little worn down and tired, so didn't hit it too hard. First mile was pretty slow, but then settled in a nice rhythm and hit consistent splits all the way home - my favorite type of run :) Felt ok overall, was glad it was an easy day. Total milage: 4 miles - splits were: 8:52, 8:23, 8:23, 8:22.

Got home shortly afterwards, stretched, at dinner, then completely passed out! Pat and Crystal just recently bought a new DVD, Yoga for Runners, and they burnt me a copy to give a try so I will attempt to do later and give a review!
