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 5.9.2010
RECAP: 48 miles is a lot of running. Its Tuesday and I am still exhausted. But now its taper time and man am I looking forward to it. Saturday’s long run started off great, for the first fifteen miles or so, I felt strong and fast. I Rahm Emanuel, I kept a good pace and…
