Yesterday’s weather was near ideal so I took advantage of it to get in some longer miles. With a 25K just over a week away, I wanted to get at least 10 miles in and I did just that. I made it 8 without any sort of stop but around there my energy started to [...]
Treadmill, yeah right

So the week of treadmill training I had planned turned into nothing at all. Work consumed many more hours than I expected and the hotel gym was not open during the hours I needed. I did manage to salvage the week with a 4-mile run this past Sunday. I managed a decent and consistent pace, [...]
A week on the treadmill

I’ll be on work-related travel most of the week so I’m planning to get in some treadmill runs in the evening. It’s probably my least favorite way to get in the miles, but I don’t have a lot of options this week. With less than 3 weeks until the LMTR 25K, I need to build [...]

I went out for a nice, easy 4-mile run this afternoon and the weather was just about perfect. Not too hot, but warm enough for a shirt and shorts to be comfortable. I had new REI socks and my New Balance 608 and gear-wise everything seemed fine. If anything, the shoes are slightly too big [...]

In an effort to get in some heat training, I had the bright idea of doing as much as I could starting around 4pm today. I originally planned to see if I could get in 20 loops @ 1.3 miles each for just around the marathon distance. HA! I only made it two, after which [...]

Going to have to reset

Today I was supposed to be at Rocky Raccoon attempting my first 50-mile run. But instead, I sit at home. On Tuesday of this week I began to feel ill. By Wednesday, I had a very sore throat, was losing my voice, and could tell I was encountering a cold. Thursday and Friday were bad [...]
