Philadelphia here we come ….

Both Saturday and Sunday’s run were really nice.
Saturday was just an hour here in town in zone 1.
Sunday we were away @ Bennett Lake near Combermere. This area is very hilly and similar to running in the Gats. Combermere is near Foymount which is highest populated centre in the province @ 500m above sea level. My run was basically up or down but I kept the pace easy. The first part was a bit tough as we ate a lot at supper on the Saturday night at the cottage.
Today is back to Peak to begin strength and conditioning training for the next cycle in preparation for the Philadelphia marathon in November. Afterwards I’ll do an easy run down along the canal tonight.
We finally got our accommodations booked for Philadelphia and our train travel to get there. We’re taking the train via Montreal and NY. It should be fun. We get to have a dinner time layover in NY before heading onto Phili. I was amazed that we needed to book this early for accommodations but I guess it’s a popular race.
