  • My First 8 Miler


    Just got back from running 8 miles in Mountain Lakes & Denville.  You’ll note the map looks similar to last Saturday’s map. I wasn’t the fastest run - to be certain, but I’m glad that I’ve been keeping close to my training schedule.  I liked the course which I created on the USATF website.  It had ponds, winding rivers, parks, golf courses and light traffic.  

    I unintentionally surprised once women which I was trying to run past.  As she tried to get out of the way, she stepped right into my path.   At around 7 miles I passed an older gentlemen which was walking the opposite direction, that gave me a smile and a big thumbs up as I was passing him.   That lifted my spirits.   

    Here’s the map & stats:
