I am looking forward to the Yankee Home Coming 10 Miler in Newburyport next month. This race is a odd in that it is on the first Tuesday night in August. No weekend or holiday, just a couple of thousand runners on the road. Chuck Adams told me about this race a few years ago, and I thought how wierd. It turned out I was in the Boston are the day of the race, and I made my way up to Newburyport.
For the last four years I have taken the day out of work to make it to this race. The course is flat and fast. For me it is more than a two hour drive, but well worth it.
Tonight I ended up at the Y on a trend mill when it appeared that I would be running into a thunderstorm. I had a good time, and did some descent speed work. My favorite workout is to simple increase my speed every minute by a tenth of a mph. I usually top out at 10 mph for the last minute or two. Seven miles went by in just under 49 minutes, and I finished my 50 minute work out with the final minute running at 10 mph.
