Training Totals 12/19/2010
RECAP: Recovery from the Philadelphia Marathon has been a lot harder than I would like. I’m battling some tendonitis in my right foot and having trouble just getting out the door. But this week I started putting together a plan for the new year and feel newly inspired. Hopefully, this recap will be the last…

Update
So it has been a long, long while since I have done an update. Recently a couple of people have asked about it, and I just came off the biggest training week of my life, so I figured what the hell. As some of you may know, I am training for the Philly marathon. My…

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…

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…

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 Total 5.30.2010
RECAP: Well, I ran a marathon, everything else about this week was in preparation for that and since I wrote a pretty lengthy recap of the race already, we’ll get right to the numbers. Summary Work out streak: 151 days; (221 to go) Run Streak: 103 Days Average Weight – 182 (same as last week)…

100 days and a marathon battle plan
100 days I got up this morning, and like I have done every day for the last 100 days, I ran. It was just three miles in a muggy Washington D.C. morning, up the 16th street hill and back down. I didn’t went without headphone and thought about my race this weekend, about the time…

Training Totals 5.23.2010
RECAP: Man, what a week. Who would have thought that running less would cause so many aches and pains and well… mental instability. I’m going nuts over here! NUTS! I am obsessively checking the weather forecast for Burlington (hot, apparently), I’m visualizing the race as I go to sleep and I am freaking out about…
