A Lisfranc injury refers to a rare injury to a joint in the center region of the foot. An injury in this region of the foot can be highly debilitating for an athlete who depends on their lower body for high speed running and jumping (like an NBA player). The Lisfranc ligament refers to a [...]
Wait and see approach…
I am nearly 5 weeks from the big race… my training has been a little bit up and down over the past 2 weeks or so. 2 weeks ago when I went down to the Downtown area to run with the Blue Sharks, I rolled my ankle inward when I turned a corner, and “jammed” [...]
Mental battle with the training
My bad for not posting for awhile. I have been away and when I came back to work this week… it has just been one thing after another. But I am somewhat back to normal and everything is all good… Praise God!!! But honestly, I would say that this has been my most disappointing week [...]
Bumps in the road
On Saturday morning, I journeyed out to finish my highest mileage week ever. It seems as though every week, I seem to break my record with re: to mileage… but this is it!!! I will not go beyond 55 miles for my program in preparation for Chicago, so I felt as though this would be [...]
Life is like a….
box of chocolates??? No…. like a marathon…more like my marathons that I have run so far!!!! You never know what you’re gonna get…. It has been a roller coaster 3 weeks for me, and that is putting it mildly. I had a major letdown… then got brought back up again with other news… and then [...]
I need a Red Bull!!
Today starts my formal training for Chicago. As usual, I run on Tuesdays, but I usually decide to run in the morning vs. the evening, based on if I can wake up early enough Tuesday morning. For me to run, I have to get up by 4:30-4:45 am. It usually takes me 5-10 min. to [...]
So Here’s The Plan….
I had a great run this morning. Ben, my new training buddy, met me at my house at 6 am. We drove over to the Suncoast Trail and went out on a long run. We completed 14 miles, and it was a very good run for me. I’m not sure if the weather was better [...]
Push the limits…. a little
This is my run from this morning; it started out great and ended…. ok, I guess??? My body still hasn’t gotten used to the heat yet, but it is starting to slowly adapt to it. One thing that I tend to do is use a heart rate monitor to keep track of how my body [...]
That’s a lot of money!!!
As I posted earlier this week, my next marathon will be in Chicago in the middle of October. It was a toss up between 3 marathons that I wanted to do. Chicago, Marine Corps, and New York. The Marine Corps was the one I initially wanted to do, because I have never been to D.C., [...]
Where’s the next race?
If you click on this map, it will show you all of my splits for the race. I am still working on gathering pictures from last weekend’s race. Everybody had their own digital camera, and I am still waiting to have people download pics to me. I can tell you this though… nothing will top [...]
