I hope you are recovering from your half. Isn't this time a personal best for you? Congrats. When I come back to nyc we should definately  run. I could use your speed. Hopefully I will see you at coogan's. After we are celebrating my birthday with several rounds of drinks :)

Allen is convincing me to go. I'm planning on running the 3000m. eh, it'll be interesting. You should do it, its speed work and you'll will know where you stand and what you have to work on. Sat: I'm doing that Manhattan half, not really racing just for my long run for the week. I don't think many people will be in vctc. Come down and do 13.1mi with everyone!
