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…

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…

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…

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 4.25.10
RECAP: 41.5 miles. Over six hours on my feet. That, my friends, is a lot of running. The goal for the week was 43 miles, but life got in the way (wedding venues!) and I had to cut the Saturday run really short. Whatever, I’m still proud. This is the most miles I have ever…

Training Totals
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…

It is safe to say that I am obsessed with running. Really, truly obsessed. I think about it all the time. I want to read about it all the time and I want to actually be doing it all the time. I promised myself at the start of this year that I would not make…

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…
