  • Diet Downfalls Part I

    I am not so good at diets. Matter of fact, I don’t think most people aren’t very good with diets. I’m not interested in going on one because I know at this point that whatever my good intentions, I won’t keep to it. So instead I am going to identify certain foods that I eat…

    Training Totals 5.10.09

    Training Totals for the Week Ending 5 10 09 Recap – What a great week. After being side tracked with PF and having to cut way back on my mileage, I was able to get back up to the high twenties this week and felt good doing it. As I said in an earlier post,…

  • Long Run

    Just got back. Ten miles in ninty six minutes and I feel great. In love with west potomac park and so happy that ten miles is no longer a pain inducing number of miles. In other news, I finished law school today. I can’t believe it, now the only thing that stands in the way…

    I am going to make this a weekly thing here at JTD, a video to inspire everyone (myself included) to get out there this weekend and get their long run in. Our first video is top US marathoners Josh Cox and Ryan Hall going 31 miles long through Mammoth California. Check out the economy of…

  • Finding time to play

    It has been raining non stop here and so I have been running on thr treadmill the last couple of days. I hate running on the treadmill. Hate it. But being in the the gym has been great otherwise. I’m getting in the miles, but also giving myself time to just play. Yesterday it was…

  • Training Totals 5/3/09

    Recap – Two months into getting back into training seriously, injury raises its ugly head and I get a minor case of plantar faciitis and suddenly, my plans are in the toilet. I am a creature of habit and having to deviate this week from my planned runs drove me insane. But, after taking Friday…

  • Injury

    Gah! I hate that even though I only added 10% to my weekly run totals, I am definitely suffering from Plantar Faciitis. Sucks. I woke up this morning and the heel of my right foot was pretty sore. I think I am going to have to bite the bullet and actually really cut down on…
