Training Totals 5.9.2010
RECAP: 48 miles is a lot of running. Its Tuesday and I am still exhausted. But now its taper time and man am I looking forward to it. Saturday’s long run started off great, for the first fifteen miles or so, I felt strong and fast. I Rahm Emanuel, I kept a good pace and…

Training Totals 4.25.10
RECAP: 41.5 miles. Over six hours on my feet. That, my friends, is a lot of running. The goal for the week was 43 miles, but life got in the way (wedding venues!) and I had to cut the Saturday run really short. Whatever, I’m still proud. This is the most miles I have ever…

Training Totals
RECAP: I think I need to face up to the fact that for right now, as long as I am getting in my scheduled runs, I should really be too upset about not hitting my total workout time goals. Work is busy, I travel every weekend, and really, all that is important to me right…

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…

Marathon Autopsy: The Training
In 2005, I ran my first and (so far) only marathon, the New York City Marathon. It was a total disaster. I was undertrained and suffered serious gastrointestinal issues on the course. I finished in an extremely disappointing five hours and forty five minutes. Now, as I am deep into the training for my next…

Training Totals 3.29.10
RECAP: 15 miles. Yeah, it hurt a little at the end, but generally, I felt pretty good. I have run well over a hundred mile in Prospect Park, from my first couple of miles in training for my first marathon to these fifteen. It felt great to do a strong long run there on a…

Training Totals 3.7.2010
RECAP: A busy, busy week with work, packing and moving most of what I own to NY. (E is living in NY, and I living in D.C. for the next six months. Since NY will be our permanent home, most of our furniture is now up there with her). I was able to get my…

Training Totals for 2.28.10
RECAP: Finally caught up with the weekly totals and finally, after six months of battling injuries and slowly recovering, back up to what I think is a reasonable amount of weekly mileage. I have high hopes for this year in running, I want to be consistent, I want to be faster and most importantly, I…

Training Totals for 2.21.10
RECAP: The last week of catch up for these totals. This was my second week of twenty miles and damn it felt good to be running that much, and (because I am in NY for the month) running on the familiar turf of Prospect Park. When I first started running many years ago now, I…
