Its marathon season, which means the New York Times is once again including some running coverage in its sports section.

Friday Inspiration: Running in the Rain
Hurricane Irene might bring the hammer down on Brooklyn this weekend, or maybe it’ll just be a small annoyance. Its too early to tell. Either way, I’ll probably be running in the rain this weekend. In honor of long runs in the rain, here’s a video of Markos Geneti winning the 2011 Los Angeles Marathon…

18 weeks
Still here, still running. I had a rough couple of weeks at the beginning of the month. I got very sick (the less spoken about this the better) and then super busy at work. I ran some, but not much. I lost some fitness, but not much. I’m back at it now and feeling pretty…

Race Autopsy: The 2010 Vermont City Marathon

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: 5.11.2010
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…
