Training Totals 1/9/2012
RECAP: A new year and a new commitment to running smart, to building the mileage slowly; a commitment to being boring, safe, and to being injury free. These updates are going to be dull, dull, dull for the foreseeable future – some running, some time on the elliptical, some weight lifting. If I play my cards…

Training Totals Week Ending 9.11.2011
RECAP: Forward progress, that’s for sure. Even with a day off on Monday to accommodate a wedding related hang over and a flight home I was able to squeak in fifty miles for the week. Very happy about that. Not as happy about my performance on the long run this weekend, the first fifteen went…

Training Totals 9.4.2011
RECAP: Once again I didn’t hit all the goals, but I did make significant progress. 48 miles isn’t fifty, and nine hours isn’t ten, but neither is is bad. I had an excellent track work out, which I think shows that my 5k PR is soft, and I ran 15 miles on Friday night with…

Training Totals 8.28.2011
RECAP: Another week in suck city. I had to have a routine medical procedure this week which laid me up for two days. Then there was a goddamn hurricane. All in all it sucked, and the less said about it the better. Alright, the numbers: Summary: Run Streak: 4 days Average Weight –186.7 Running Miles:…

Training Totals Week Ending 2.13.2011
RECAP: Well, things are getting better. Not as quickly as I’d like, but they are getting better. The foot is still hurting, though the pain is more intermittent. I’m trying to institute a regular regime of stretching, massaging and icing and I hope that works. I have my first race of 2011 this weekend, the…

Training Totals 1.9.11
RECAP: Not the week I was hoping for, that’s for sure. I’m just going to pretend that I meant this to be a recovery week and move right along. My legs were dead tired by Wednesday and hitting forty miles for the week disappeared somewhere on Saturday morning. This week (which is already half over…

Training Totals 7.4.2010
RECAP: Wow, what a week. The first part of it was a whirlwind of work and other commitments as I tried to get everything set before I went to Cape Cod for the Fourth of July. The second half was all running, drinking beer and laying on the beach. I haven’t had a vacation in…

Training Totals 6.27.2010
RECAP: Another week of running disappointment. Again, I started off strong and ended weak. I am getting in really good runs during the week when all I have to do is work and run, but the weekends, which have been a series of massive social commitments have foiled my plans to return to a decent…

Training Totals 6.20.2010
RECAP: This week started off well enough and then fizzled in the face of massive scheduling conflicts and hotter than hell weather. On the plus side, I have really been extending my weekday runs, which is going well. Many days this week I got in more than six miles, and on Wednesday I really started…

Training Totals 6.13.2010
RECAP: Well, it was bound to happen eventually, a week of fail. It started off with me having a tough time fitting decent runs into my schedule and it ended with me laying on my couch sick as a dog and for the first time in over 100 days, unable to run. I had run…
