So this has been a bit of a bummer week for me. Its been raining nonstop in D.C. for  days and I have missed two of my scheduled runs. Plus, I didn’t get in to New York as I had hoped. But today is a new day and with a twelve mile long run scheduled for tomorrow, I need to get excited. I figured this week’s long run inspiration should have something to do with the Marathon I am running in October, the Hartford Marathon in my hometown of Hartford Connecticut.  Not a lot of videos out there on this race, but here is one that’ll give you the feel of this smaller and cozier regional race.

Good luck to everyone out there on your runs this weekend!
