Tonight, August 29, I ran the Mammoth Mile in 7:28. That was a 43 second improvement over my unimpressive run at the Big Bang Mile ten days ago. My goal was to break 7:30; so I am happy with this performance.

On September 6, I will be competing in the New Jersey senior Olympics in order to qualify in the 1500 m and 800 m for the national senior games next summer. I approached these three events in a relaxed manner and have trained in a similar fashion.

I’ve managed to keep my body free of injury and at the same time maintain a competitive fitness level.
