    My brother nixed the idea of going trail running. He had work to do. So now I'm just gonna go out with my cat and a good book instead. I run tomorrow morning instead hopefully. Or maybe tonight.

    You prefer to run with others?
    I prefer alone.  In the dark.

    10k tomorrow.  @GlowGirl this is the George Washington Bridge run.  You should do it one year,it is beautiful and very cool to be out on that bridge.
    Set my PR for 10k there 2 years ago.  Don't think I can do that again, but will give er a go.

    Is it just a back and forth over the bridge on the run? There is such a run here in Sweden going between the south of Sweden to Denmark and back over a bridge.

    I prefer alone. But running trail here in my hometown, I had talked doing this specific route with my brother. So I had that in mind. But in general, I prefer running alone with a podcast.

    Wow. Good luck tomorrow. Maybe someday I will do it. Today, just did my normal run. I haven’t really been increasing my distance in a long time. But I have been slowly increasing my speed. So that is something. Have a great run. I am sure the views from the bridge are awesome. Keep us posted.

    Pod running.  Nice. 
    For this particular bridge it is about halfway over and back with a run up to the bridge and then another 2-3 miles after, down to the river.
    For the Ben Franklin Bridge run I do every October it is all the way over and back (which is 5k) and another loop through Camden.  (The other 5k)

    Bridge run was fun.  
    "World's Busiest Bridge" shuts down a level to run, always interesting.  Bogged down some, mid-run, but finished fast.  Was 2+ mins off PR but felt good about the run.
    Finished 4th in age bracket out of a large group,would gave been 2nd if I could have PRd and 3rd if I found an extra minute.  
    All seems easy to say when done!

    Took a few pics after finishing --' of the finish line, the bridge where much of the running took place, and the last downhill sprint spot prior to finish.
    It is nice to be able to finish and rest a few minutes, then go cheer on others working hard to finish for a while.
    A cool course, hope to do again and PR next year.

    Running a race to promote "Blood donations" on monday with my job. It's being held all over Sweden. 100 people from my job is running (in a t-shirt I had to design. hehe).

    You can pick 5k or 10k. I'm running 10. But the 10k is the 5k lap twice. So not that fun going into lap#2. 

    I will not try to run it fast though. Just get around.

    No reason to know, it is not a bridge on Sweden.
    This is the George Washington Bridge.  It runs between New Jersey and New York, as part of I95, the main highway up and down the eastern US.

    What does the shirt look like?
    Race shirts tend to be boring.  I always like it when there is a nice shirt.

    bang on pace plan and good enough for 6th place.
