Hello Internet, its been a while.

A combination of work, wedding planning,  moving to New York, running a ton and spending way too much time on the running ahead message board has lead to me neglecting the blog. I know you missed me.

What is there to report ? Well, I have been running more than I ever have before, and have recently hit a number of milestones. First, last Wednesday I hit 1,000 miles for the year. I know to some of you out there this isn’t much, but for me, it is huge. It is by far the most I have ever run in a year… and the year is just a little over half done. I’m an obsessive dude, so of course I have plotted out my training through the end of the year, and if all goes according to plan and I don’t get injured, I should hit 2,000 miles. I’m pretty stoked.

On the way to 1,000 miles for the year and in training for my fall marathon, I have upped my weekly mileage pretty significantly. This week will mark my fourth 50 mile plus week and I am definitely seeing results. While my average run time has not dropped by much, I feel a hell of a lot stronger and have lost a couple of pounds. I haven’t raced in a while, but I am hoping when I do a 5k in early September, that all this running will begin to produce results.

I also hope as things in my life settle down in September that I’ll be able to devote more time to writing here, so stick around, I’m not done with running, or this blog, yet.
