So I returned from the foot doctor yesterday, and his evaluation leads him to believe that I have a neuroma starting in my right foot, which is why it comes and goes, gets worse with higher mileage, and I get the tingliness now and then in the toes. Based on what he told me, it […]

I have to say that the week before I start the next marathon training cycle has me down in the dumps. The weather here has been just awful … cold and wet, it makes you not even want to get out of bed in the morning. I had a tough time getting motivated, but did […]

I’m thinking that the scaled back week I just completed helped my foot heal up a little bit. I completed my ‘long’ run for the week (if you can call it that) which totaled 8.25 miles. My foot is not bothering me thankfully, and I actually ran it pretty quick as well, the interesting part […]

I decided to go through the painful job of upgrading b2evolution to the latest version (1.8.2) from the .9 release, and basically lost my original layout of the blog here. After struggling through fixing the new stylesheet the way I wanted it, things are back the way they were for the most part. I’m not […]

Well, as to be expected, I didn’t stick to my concept of considering myself injured. I believe the added foot pain I had on Tuesday was due to me overcompensating on Monday for the pain in my 2nd and 3rd toes. It seems to have gone away totally now, but I am keeping up with […]

I guess you can say I’ve had an awakening again to the fact that my foot is really injured. I’ve been kind of downplaying it, and ignoring it, and training anyway despite the way my foot feels. Its weird that I got a run yesterday, an actual GOOD run, and then today decide to take […]

I was fortunate enough to have my foot feel better by the end of last week, no pain anywhere, but after my 11+ mile run on Saturday, it started to hurt again. I’m not convinced that its that thing with my metatarsals, I think its just an inflammation of some sort. I had the name […]

So again, its been a few days since I updated the training blog here. I think part of the reason I’m not as faithful updating right now is because i’m really not marathon training. My start date for the next training cycle is November 20th .. 18 more weeks of training for the Ocean Drive […]

I haven’t been so good on keeping up on my blog, I guess you can say i’ve been busy. I’m trying to get alot of little things done now, before I start training again, because I know that demands so much of my time. I only got outside one day this week (thursday), and had […]

In some sense, I miss the warm summer mornings and afternoons when I could get out and get a good run in without having to worry about bundling up. It appears that in the northeast, winter is starting somewhat early. The high’s this week are expected to be in the 40’s, with possible snow flurries, […]
