  • 50 Days

    First, I over slept. Then, I had to work late, but finally, late last night, I headed out the door for five miles and reached little mini milestone. I had run fifty days in a row. I know streaking is a controversial topic in the running community. People think running distances of less than three…

  • Training Totals: 4.4.10

    RECAP: Well, life got the better of me this week. I was in New York for Passover for part of the week and then in Connecticut for Easter for the other part (I’m in an interfaith relationship, the spring gets complicated). I made my running goals for the week, but little else, and fell far…

  • Training Totals for 3.21.10

    RECAP: The Good –Beautiful weekend here in the nation’s capital. I did a twelve mile long run this Saturday in under two hours. I felt strong throughout and think that I’ll probably be using cliff shot blocks as my on the run nutrition from here on out. The Bad – While my running was strong…

  • Training Totals 3.14.10

    RECAP: Crossing the line between working out less than five hours a week and more than five hours a week is big. Most anyone can work in less than five hours of exercise into their week without too much trouble. More than five hours – that means you’re giving up other shit. This week, I…

  • Training Totals 3.7.2010

    RECAP: A busy, busy week with work, packing and moving most of what I own to NY. (E is living in NY, and I living in D.C. for the next six months. Since NY will be our permanent home, most of our furniture is now up there with her). I was able to get my…

  • Training Totals for 2.28.10

    RECAP: Finally caught up with the weekly totals and finally, after six months of battling injuries and slowly recovering, back up to what I think is a reasonable amount of weekly mileage. I have high hopes for this year in running, I want to be consistent, I want to be faster and most importantly, I…

  • Training Totals for 2.21.10

    RECAP: The last week of catch up for these totals. This was my second week of twenty miles and damn it felt good to be running that much, and (because I am in NY for the month) running on the familiar turf of Prospect Park. When I first started running many years ago now, I…

  • Training Totals for week of 2.14.10

    RECAP: So, I have just finished one of the busiest two month stretches of my life. Through it all I was able to keep to my promise to myself to work out everyday, and I’m pretty happy about that. The last couple of weeks, I not only keep the workout streak going, I drowned my…

  • Training Totals for the Week of 2.7.10

    RECAP: Still way behind in putting my weekly totals up here, but not behind in my running, amazing on track actually! Not much to summarize. I’m in New York for the month, running in my old Brooklyn stomping grounds, which is awesome, and finally it seems that the mileage is starting to add up to…

  • Training Totals

    RECAP: Life is getting the better of me these days in many respects. I’m working a ton, studying a ton, and haven’t had much time for the internet. I have however been working out. While I got my workouts in this week, I wasn’t able to do them all in the morning. That’s alright, life…
