2011 Goals
As I wrote about earlier, I have mixed feelings about 2010. It was by far my best year for running, but it was also not all I was hoping for. I set PRs at every distance, but I didn’t break four hours in the marathon, and it looks like I won’t run 2,000 miles. Whatever.…

Training Totals 7.4.2010
RECAP: Wow, what a week. The first part of it was a whirlwind of work and other commitments as I tried to get everything set before I went to Cape Cod for the Fourth of July. The second half was all running, drinking beer and laying on the beach. I haven’t had a vacation in…

Training Totals 6.20.2010
RECAP: This week started off well enough and then fizzled in the face of massive scheduling conflicts and hotter than hell weather. On the plus side, I have really been extending my weekday runs, which is going well. Many days this week I got in more than six miles, and on Wednesday I really started…

Training Totals 6.6.2010
RECAP: Not the world’s best week, people. I came off last week’s marathon excited about how much my running has progressed in the last six months and basically ran right into an injury. Since the marathon, I’ve been having some pain in my left ankle whenever I run, sometimes its pretty bad, sometimes it is…

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: 5.16.2010
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…
