TNT Weeks 13 and 14

Hello!
I just realized it has been a couple weeks since I've updated again.  Last week we ran as a team in the 10 mile Mountain Goat run in Syracuse.  This week it was 16 miles at Green Lakes and the Erie Canal.  Although, I will admit I only did 13 miles.  I know what you're thinking...  "only".  lol...

Last week and this week couldn't be any more different.  The Mountain Goat is a challenge in even the most ideal conditions.  Uphill climbs and downward descents that come in all forms.  Add to this an unseasonably hot and humid day, and you get an extremely difficult 10 miles.  I'm glad to say I made it to the end.  I didn't do better than last year, but didn't expect to.

Like I said, this week was much different.  The run on Saturday was cold and rainy (and today it's snowing!), and it involved the muddy trails of Green Lakes.  I'm not a big fan of running on trails, so it was difficult for me.  The conditions made it a lot worse, so I skipped out the last 3 miles.  Oh, and I was soaking wet and right after I finished my run the sun came out.  lol...

This week I'm going to get back on track.  My weekly runs have been lacking lately, but I need to keep on them if I'm going to get through my 20 miler in Cortland on Saturday.
