Back in New York for a bit

One of the major issues for me right now up in Orono is a lack of money. So on last Thursday I decided that coming home to work at the Running Company would be the best best in order to pay rent. Having $40 in the bank account is not necessarily the best thing. Running has been getting better over the past few weeks as well. I have been somewhere between 70-80 miles a week I believe. Nothing crazy, just slowly increasing the miles, and started doing workouts about a week to a week and a half ago. More tempo and five minute pace right now than anything. I am gonna focus on Aerobic strength over the next few weeks to few months with an emphasis on hills. I believe that hills really make me, personally, stronger than any other workout. Jeff Caron is back in New England and look forward to beating him in the first thing that I can think of. Most likely will be drinking related but not guaranteed. OK I will guarantee that it is drinking related.

I also think that since I have been home I have developed a smaller than normal gambling problem. I also think that the way to get out of a gambling problem is to gamble more.
