A few days ago, I had my 1 month anniversary from not running. It’s kinda funny how quickly things can turn for the better or worse… and in my case it has been for the better (I hope). Let me explain…. Cheryl, who is my office administrator, gave me this time article to read a [...]
I’ve HADD it!!!
The last few months have not gone as initially planned. The plan was that the San Francisco marathon was supposed to be a fun race, which wasn’t run too hard, but didn’t take much recovery time, so that I could continue my training that had gone so well up to that point and throw down [...]
Because I Can….
Some Tuesdays, Kerry and I are able to go out to breakfast together… its kind of our time together; even though we have to bring two of the kiddies along (we just usually hope and pray that the little one sleeps while we are at the restaurant). Anyways, this past Tuesday, on our way to [...]
My Funky Week (and my plans for the rest of 2009)
I’ve been in a week funk. Ever since I came back from my San Francisco trip, the stresses of life have just gotten to me, and it finally caught up to me this past week. Last Sunday, I went out for a 10 mile run, and when I finished, I just felt exhausted. I didn’t [...]
The San Francisco Treat!!!
Wow!!! What an experience that was!!! I just had the most enjoyable 3 hours and 50 minutes of running that I have ever had….. and coming from someone that pretty much enjoys every run he does, that is saying a lot! Let me get you all caught up on the trip. If you don’t want [...]
Taper time
Ahh!! I have 2 weeks until my race in San Francisco….and I’m getting excited. I feel good about everything leading up to this race. The only bad thing is that because I was trying to pack in all of my runs in last week so I could have the whole weekend off, I aggravated my [...]
Work Hard…. Pray Hard…. Play Hard…. Train Hard
Sometimes, you have to make your training work for you. It’s not just about training… you gotta let loose and have fun sometimes, ya know? My plan this week was to keep my same volume (~ 50 mpw), but condense it into 5 days… never done that before. I knew I was coming down to [...]
The numbers don’t lie….
Today I finished my week with an 18.5 mile run, which has given me 58.5 miles for the week, and 229 miles of running for the month. I feel a little sore, but overall everything is pretty groovy for me right now. I absolutely love not having to follow a plan. With my current life [...]
My week
This week might have been the easiest week of my training cycle. My family went to south Florida from Thursday to help my mother in law prepare for her 50th birthday bash. I was able to run without worrying about getting the kids off to school, or waking the kids up, etc. Which was nice…but [...]
