I generally do a pretty good job when i’m traveling to ensure I have all my running gear with me. I thought I did a good job yesterday when I packed things up and left for Virginia. Its strange but I can actually admit that I generally put more of a priority on packing my […]

I just completed my second hardest week so far in my training, here are my numbers: Miles: 70.25 Hours/Minutes Running:10 hours 16 minutes Total Calories burned: 11544 That doesn’t include my bike ride this morning, I got 14.5 miles in. I cut the bike ride a little short since my legs are burning right now […]

I really have to hand it to the training program i’m on because I completed yet another 20+ miler today and feel great afterwards. I managed to get 15 miles of the 21 at marathon pace like I had planned. This week seems to be the week when things are starting to come together with […]

It never amazes me how fast the humidity can return once we enter August .. I look back just to Monday when I was running early in the morning and saying that my hands were cold because it was about 50 degrees, now tomorrow it should be about 75* with a heat index of close […]

Its been a wild week so far with so many things to write about, I just know I won’t have enough time to write about it all right now. I completed 71 miles this week, mostly speed runs (a mix of GA, vo2’s, half marathon pace and marathon pace), but surprisingly today was the best […]

Its been awhile since I posted something as I just returned from vacation this past week and then from some other travels around the state, but its never enough to keep me from sticking to my training. I spent last week in North Wildwood, which means I got to run the beach, the boardwalk and […]

My long week seems to have wrapped up with an even longer weekend … It started out on Saturday as I had a 20 miler scheduled, but somehow I found a way to hit the wall at about mile 17 or so and because of that, I ended up wrapping up the run at just […]

I can definitely feel the intensity of my training picking up this week. I’m in week 4 of the 12 week training plan and its hard to think that just 2 weeks ago I was saying how I wish things would pick up. I’m in the final week of the endurance portion of the training […]

After two weeks of real brutal heat and humidity, we finally got some rain, but unfortunately it came on a Saturday morning .. yep, the same Saturday morning that I needed to do my first 22 miler of the training season. I was out of town yesterday, so I hadn’t gotten the chance to check […]

Thankfully I got my long run in today before the heat kicked up .. it was actually pretty cool this morning when I headed out, I had a debate as to wear a tank top or a regular shirt when I got up, and the regular shirt won out. I probably would have been just […]
