Training Totals 6.19.2011
RECAP: After some illness and a week from hell, I got back in the groove this week running 46 miles in around seven hours. Toughest run was definitely the 15 miler on Saturday. It was hot out there and I just wasn’t feeling all that great. I averaged a depressing ten minutes per mile, including…

18 weeks
Still here, still running. I had a rough couple of weeks at the beginning of the month. I got very sick (the less spoken about this the better) and then super busy at work. I ran some, but not much. I lost some fitness, but not much. I’m back at it now and feeling pretty…

Training Totals 5.22.2011
RECAP: So that’s a month of weeks over fifty. I’m tired, but decidedly uninjured, and feeling good about where my running is right now. I ran my biggest week of the year this week at a little more than 51 miles, and ran my longest long run of the year at 14.25 miles, all of…

Training Totals: 5/1/2011
RECAP: This past week was the best week of running I have had in a very long time. For the first time since February, I hit fifty miles for the week and though my legs were tired, the left foot didn’t hurt too much. It is definitely spring here and I am feeling optimistic about…

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 3.20.11
RECAP: Brining back the weekly recap. Not a bad week, definitely better than the week before, but also not the best week possible. As usual of late a combination of injury and scheduling keep me from getting the miles I was hoping for, but I plan to rectify that this week. I have also have…

Thinking of Boston
The change in the Boston Qualifying times really woke me up out of my winter work out slumber. As regular readers of this blog know, I would very much like to BQ, but I am very far away from that goal. With the new qualifying times, this is a goal that just got a lot…

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 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…

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…
