Training Totals 6.6.2010
RECAP: Not the world’s best week, people. I came off last week’s marathon excited about how much my running has progressed in the last six months and basically ran right into an injury. Since the marathon, I’ve been having some pain in my left ankle whenever I run, sometimes its pretty bad, sometimes it is…

Training Totals: 5.16.2010
RECAP: The taper for my spring marathon has begun, and so far, so good. A Saturday long run of twelve miles is a heck of a lot more reasonable than a 22 miler. It was nice to feel like I could have handled more. Weight stayed constant this week, which is a little bit of…

Training Totals 5.2.2010
RECAP: Not every week can be great. Sometimes, the body just needs a break, and this week was one of those weeks. Even though I decided to cut my long run down from 18 to 15 miles, I still feel ok about this week. My left foot which was giving me a lot of trouble…

RECAP: I think I need to face up to the fact that for right now, as long as I am getting in my scheduled runs, I should really be too upset about not hitting my total workout time goals. Work is busy, I travel every weekend, and really, all that is important to me right…

Training Totals: 5.11.2010
RECAP: I guess it is a good sign if what I am disappointed about in a week is not that I didn’t get my runs in, but that I didn’t feel good on (some) of the runs. I think packing more miles onto my long run week after week has finally caught up with me…

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 3.29.10
RECAP: 15 miles. Yeah, it hurt a little at the end, but generally, I felt pretty good. I have run well over a hundred mile in Prospect Park, from my first couple of miles in training for my first marathon to these fifteen. It felt great to do a strong long run there on a…

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…
