  • Training Totals 5.31.09

    Training Totals for the Week Ending 5.31.09 RECAP – Definitely back in the swing of things this week with four solid four mile runs and one of the best long runs I have had since I got back into running. I have really only been at this running seriously thing again thing for a couple…

  • 1:30:18

    YES! Just got back from my long run, and it was ten miles in 1:30:18 without stopping the watch for lights. I’m so stoked. I know for most runners, a nine minute mile pace isn’t a big deal but for me, coming off an injury and on a run this long, it felt amazing. Seriously…

  • Lessons Learned I

    One of the goals of this blog to is document my changing relationship to running and how that relationship is a microcosm of changes I am trying to make in my life in general.  This past week has been a great example of how I am acting differently in my training. In the past an…

  • Training Totals 5/24/09

    Training Totals for the Week Ending 5.24.09 RECAP – Well, that week was almost entirely a wash. It started out with me dealing with some pretty serious hip and glute pain, which I at first thought was ITBS, but after consulting the super helpful runningahead forums came to think it was a piriformis issue.

  • Back at it

  • Injured II(b)

    I know nothing on the internet is more exciting than my latest injury, so here is an update. Rode about four miles to work and back yesterday with no pain, but I woke up this morning and again it was painful to put weight on my right leg. Not horribly painful, but painful all the…

  • Training Totals 5/17/09

    Training Totals for the Week Ending 5 17 09 Recap – This week was dominated by two things – getting injured (again) and graduating from law school. This injury which occurred on Wednesday and really sucked coupled with the fact that graduation festivities kept me from getting to the gym to do any cross training…

  • Injured II

    God damn it. I think I am injured again. Went out for a leisurely five miler yesterday afternoon around the National Mall and felt great the whole way. when I was almost back to school I ran into a friend who is leaving town and we chatted for fifteen minutes or so and then we…

  • Loving the numbers

    With work, a meeting for my clinic and then drinks with some people I worked on the campaign with, it is looking like my schedule today is going to conspire to keep me from running today. That’s fine. I got four miles in yesterday so if I do five the rest of the week and…
