  • Taper Madness

    Dear Internet, I am going insane. Also everything hurt. I’ve been told that it isn’t uncommon to get all kinds of aches and pains during the taper period, but man, this is ridiculous. My shins have been aching, my foot is aching and, well, I just feel like I am falling apart. I’m getting out…

    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 5.2.2010

    RECAP: Not every week can be great. Sometimes, the body just needs a break, and this week was one of those weeks. Even though I decided to cut my long run down from 18 to 15 miles, I still feel ok about this week. My left foot which was giving me a lot of trouble…

  • back at blogging

    It has been a while since I posted on here.  Life got seriously in the way of training and of updating this blog over the last two months. First there was studying for the Bar, then the Bar itself, then catching up at work, and then vacation. My running log shows that my weekly mileage…

  • Crosstraining

    Before school got out, I planned to spend a whole heck of a lot of time doing cross training this summer, but now with the full weight of bar/bri and work on my shoulders I am finding that just keeping up with my weekly mileage goals will be a challenge, never mind fitting lots of…
