18 miles (and more news)…
A quick update from New York (along with my apologies that bits of the site, including the SOUTH expedition pages, still aren't working properly yet).
1) Tony and I are running the New York Road Runners Club's 18-mile 'marathon tune-up' in Central Park on Saturday morning. It starts quite early, so hopefully the (glorious!) sun/heat we're enjoying won't be too much of a problem. I don't want to knacker myself out completely, but I'd like to go sub-two hours (and get as close to six-minute miles as possible).
2) I've uploaded some photos of the Vuelta a Espana's prologue stage.
3) We ran past Ellen MacArthur's boat at North Cove Marina yesterday. It's a stunning piece of design/engineering and I hope Ellen gets the weather window she needs.
4) We had dinner with a few of the TED team last night, and ended up ten-pin bowling. I came dead last.
