Great.
I am seriously starting to think I am doomed. As today has gone on, I have felt sicker and sicker and now am pretty sure I’m battling one in a long line of sinus infections. Great. I have a twelve miler run scheduled for tomorrow and that is going to suck.

Friday Inspiration
So a lot of people are starting to get ready for a fall marathon, and here is Ryan Hall giving some solid advice about getting the miles in, but not freaking out. You know, if you’re running 5:17 splits, don’t worry about it, just relax…

Help Me Choose My Marathon Plan
So I am trying to come up with a solid marathon plan and have been looking around at various plans online as well as in Hal Higdon’s book. Right now, I am leaning heavily towards the plan on the New York Road Runners site for the “basic marathoner”. I like this program because it has…

Training Totals 6.7.09
RECAP – This was probably the worst week for me since I got seriously back into running. What was so frustrating about it was that it wasn’t because I was injured, but rather because I couldn’t get my schedule together and missed runs for silly reasons. I hate that. On the plus side, my twelve…

12 miler
Just got back from my first tweleve mile run in years and I feel remarkably good. Time was a frankly shocking 1:44:18, so I did that in sub nine minute miles. Maybe a four hour marathon isn’t out of the question. The run itself was through rock creek park, down around most of the mall…

Please understand that we have to limit the size of the field to ensure a top-quality experience. Well, that’s that. I am not running New York this year, looks like I’ll be doing the…

Sucking
So, basically, I suck. Yesterday was apparently, national running day and what did I do? Miss my run. I had planned to get up and run in the morning before bar/bri, but it was pouring outside and I am lazy and I stayed in bed. As I said, I suck. Then, today, it was pouring…

Morning Runs
It is a truism in running that people who run in the morning are more likely to stick a running regime than people who run at any other time of day. The reasoning is pretty straight forward – there are less distraction in the morning to get in the way of getting your run in.…

Crosstraining
Before school got out, I planned to spend a whole heck of a lot of time doing cross training this summer, but now with the full weight of bar/bri and work on my shoulders I am finding that just keeping up with my weekly mileage goals will be a challenge, never mind fitting lots of…
