That’s my plan for building from my post-marathon week off toward starting my training, in 2 weeks for NYC. I’m in the middle of my 19 week; running 7 tonight or tomorrow to make the target. Part of my 21 miles next week will be in Southern California!

Two of my other runs this week were on the awesome Charlotte Greenway, in different directions. Nathaniel wanted to see them, so here they are:

• Easy trails 10K in Charlotte(6/14)
• 7.8 on Charlotte Greenway(6/16)
• 4 miles in Prospect Park 59 degrees(6/18)

I didn’t get temps for the Charlotte runs, but it was hot as hell. The last two of those I ran with my new shoes, some Brooks Adrenalines, and some new Injinji toe-socks. I’m a big fan of both now (sorry New Balance 992s and Target socks– I still got much love for you).

The folks at Run For Your Life were really helpful and taught me a lot about shoes. This pair is much, much lighter, and are only giving me support where I need it. & the socks are keeping my jacked-up toes from tearing one another apart. I went back and picked up a few more pairs before leaving Charlotte.
