My Armstrong Showdown Training Log: 4.11.08

Another nice, easy run with the MP3 this morning.  Took the scenic Tryon route with the only challenging section being the Old Maid's hill.  Also did a loop through Great Pond.  I have to say, I am getting used to this tapering stuff!

Amy and I are headed to NYC for a long weekend without the kids this morning...the first such trip since Cameron arrived in 2000.  Have I ever mentioned how awesome my in-laws are?!  But it looks like I'll be confined to the fitness center for the next two workouts as we're staying next to "Ground Zero" in Manhattan, which is quite a hike from Central Park I'm told.  On top of that, it's supposed to rain all weekend.  Hopefully the fitness center will have at least one decent treadmill!

9.2 miles this morning at 7:10 pace.  8 training days until Boston!
