  • Training Totals 5/24/09

    Training Totals for the Week Ending 5.24.09 RECAP – Well, that week was almost entirely a wash. It started out with me dealing with some pretty serious hip and glute pain, which I at first thought was ITBS, but after consulting the super helpful runningahead forums came to think it was a piriformis issue. A…

  • Back at it

    So after a full seven days off, I did three easy miles yesterday. I suffered no pain on the run and only minimal stiffness afterwards. Today I woke up with a little pain in the hip, but not enough to keep me off the roads. I’ll do three miles again today. Tomorrow, if I am…

  • Injured II(b)

    I know nothing on the internet is more exciting than my latest injury, so here is an update. Rode about four miles to work and back yesterday with no pain, but I woke up this morning and again it was painful to put weight on my right leg. Not horribly painful, but painful all the…

  • Training Totals 5/17/09

    Training Totals for the Week Ending 5 17 09 Recap – This week was dominated by two things – getting injured (again) and graduating from law school.

  • Loving the numbers

    With work, a meeting for my clinic and then drinks with some people I worked on the campaign with, it is looking like my schedule today is going to conspire to keep me from running today. That’s fine. I got four miles in yesterday so if I do five the rest of the week and…

  • Diet Downfalls Part I

    I am not so good at diets. Matter of fact, I don’t think most people aren’t very good with diets. I’m not interested in going on one because I know at this point that whatever my good intentions, I won’t keep to it. So instead I am going to identify certain foods that I eat…

  • Training Totals 5.10.09

    Training Totals for the Week Ending 5 10 09 Recap – What a great week. After being side tracked with PF and having to cut way back on my mileage, I was able to get back up to the high twenties this week and felt good doing it. As I said in an earlier post,…

  • Long Run

    Just got back. Ten miles in ninty six minutes and I feel great. In love with west potomac park and so happy that ten miles is no longer a pain inducing number of miles. In other news, I finished law school today. I can’t believe it, now the only thing that stands in the way…

  • Weekend Longrun Inspiration

    I am going to make this a weekly thing here at JTD, a video to inspire everyone (myself included) to get out there this weekend and get their long run in. Our first video is top US marathoners Josh Cox and Ryan Hall going 31 miles long through Mammoth California. Check out the economy of…
