Training Totals Week Ending 4/3/2011
RECAP: This is the second week in a row over forty miles, this time with only five days of running. My legs are exhausted, but I feel good about the progress. Also for the second week in a row I took a rest day. I am not sure how much longer I’ll be taking a…

Training Totals 3.27.2011
RECAP: Although I did not make many of my weekly goals, this was by far the best week of running I have had in months. 46 miles in six days of running, a bunch of 8 mile days, tired legs, but minimal foot pain. I feel like I am on the way back to health.…

1,000 Miles in Prospect Park
Last night, sometime right around the top of the hill, near the great lawn, I ran my 1,000th mile in Prospect Park. Ok, I have probably run more, in the early days of my running I didn’t keep very good track. When I started running in 2006, I put in my first miles in the…

Training Totals Week of 2.20.2011
RECAP: Finally feel like I am on the mend. I had a pretty decent performance this weekend at the Prospect Park Cherry Tree Ten Miler. I had set an arbitrary goal of 1:24:00, I ended up coming in at 1:20:49. Foot hurt for most of the rest of the night, but it is feeling fine…

Training Totals 2.6.2011
RECAP: Last week was another week in crap city. Whatever, it’s behind me and winter is half over. I had a halfway decent run on Thursday, but besides that, it just sucked. The ankle/PF was killing me, and the roads were awful, so I decided to take the rest of the week off. Monday however…

Ugh
The less said about this week the better. I went too hard and too fast last weekend and I paid for it all week this week. Finally had to give in on Thursday and decide to take the rest of the week off. Back on the roads tomorrow, today, nothing but football for my fat…

Training Totals 1.17.2011
RECAP: I am an idiot. I got to fifty this week, with faster than expected long run on Saturday and a very fast ten miler on Sunday, but I am paying for it now. My left PF is seriously inflamed. I can barely walk. I am an idiot. I was planning on this week being…

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 1.2.2011
RECAP: Exciting week weather wise in Brooklyn. Last Sunday we had a major snow storm which hosed my running for the first part of the week. The streets weren’t cleared for days, and it was really tough to get out there. I went to the gym one day, and did just one mile the other…

Training Totals 12/26/2010
RECAP: Well, not the week I wanted, mileage wise, but with the holidays and a blizzard here in Brooklyn, I’ll take what I can get. I did get a bike ride in (something I am hoping to do more of) but on the ride home something went wrong with my back wheel and now it…
