I had 2 decent workouts so far this week, despite the fact I am absolutely exhausted. I have however developed some pain in the top of my left foot, that seems to radiate over towards my ankle. I didn’t have any pain before during or after my run, it just kind of came on around […]

I didn’t get a chance to comment yesterday, but I had one of the best runs i’ve had in a long time yesterday. Its weird that these great runs come the day after the longest run i’ve done since September of last year. I actually felt the pace, I felt the road, felt my legs […]

Today was the last LONG LONG run (20+) before the Ocean Drive marathon on March 25th. I was able to get in 21.75 miles down in Kingston, in the nicer weather. I can’t say that it was easy, because I struggled at the end, but I feel confident about the marathon later this month. I […]

I’m starting to get tired of running on the treadmill continually, i can’t wait for spring to get here! Anyway, I made an interesting observation as I did my 5-miler at the Y today. Since i’m an early bird, getting there at 5:30, I see the same people there everyday, KILLING THEMSELVES, and they are […]

I’ve realized that I am just 4 short weeks away from the Ocean Drive marathon. I completed my weekend of running by getting in 12 miles on the treadmill tomorrow (at a pretty fast pace, 9min/mile), and another 8 miles today (outside). Its probably the single most difficult weekend i’ve had so far. I ran […]

I had a great week of running, getting in my two 5-milers, plus an 8-miler outside on Thursday, and am prepping for my ‘step-back’ weekend of only 12 miles tomorrow and then 8 on Sunday (if i can get 8 in, its supposed to snow/rain all day). Regardless, we’ll get something in this weekend! I […]

I spoke the other day about how disgruntled I was with the 15+ inches of snow we got, but knew that I had to get out this weekend for my first 20 miler since last summer. I intended to do it yesterday, but decided today would be better since it would allow for another day […]

My training has been sidetracked slightly this week due to the MASSIVE snowstorm (15+ inches), and the fact I was supposed to goto Canada, and never made it. I only ran on Tuesday (its thursday) and I expect to get some miles tomorrow and then do the 20 miler on Saturday. I couldn’t go out […]

I managed to get in what I thought was my first 18 miler, however it turns out I undercut it by about a half mile. This means next week’s 20 miler will be a little harder. I hate when I do this, I mapped the course out this morning before I went and thought I […]

It seems like it has been forever since i last updated the blog here, I think it shows just how busy I am right now. I haven’t let up on my running or training, and am still planning for the Ocean Drive marathon. I am coming off a recovery week, with my long run being […]
