JFK 50 Miler

Sept 25th, 2010 - Training - Tewksbury --> Tyngsboro - 13.5

Day 267 - My original plan to run from Woburn to Tewksbury got nixed, so I improvised and put in a late, long run from Tewksbury to Tyngsboro. Deliberately ran at an 8 minute pace to continue to get use to my goal pace for JFK.

Tomorrow's plan is to run Jack Kerouac 5K in Lowell...well, that was until I learned that there's a friggin half-marathon less than a half-marathon from my apt! Only around here.

It's the 6th Annual Wilmington Half! I've never heard of this race until tonight when I saw Andy Pupa and Joe Ferris mention the fact that they were going to Wilmington for a half marathon.

I was like, why are they both going all the way to Delaware for a half-marathon when this weekend is filled with halves all over New England! A google later and I discovered this gem of a low-key race.

Logistically, I could probably do both races. Wilmington is at 10AM and Jack is at 12PM. If I can run the half in 1 hr 23 mins (last minute goal is to quailfy for 2011 NYC at Wilmington with a sub 1:23), then I could probably get up to Lowell by 11:59.

We'll see.

(This could be me by tomorrow afternoon)

  2. It'll be on the Sept 26th write-up, but I ended up finishing 3rd overall! My highest finish in a race at this distance!
