Just a quick update .. its been a great week so far, i’ve added in some cycling time into my weekly workout routine and still working on getting used to it. I found that the absolute worst part of riding a road bike for the first time in many, many years is that my butt […]

It was terribly warm today to get an 18 mile run in, but I did it. I tried to get up real early, but didn’t manage to get myself out of bed until around 5:30, so I didn’t get on the road until around 5:45 or so. There was still a bit of coolness in […]

So its the first week of meteorological summer, my favorite time of the year .. even though its been pretty hot the last couple of weeks already. I have to say though that the today had to have been the warmest morning that i’ve been out running since I was down at the beach a […]

I got out for a short run on Saturday morning to loosen up my legs a little more. My recovery from last Sunday’s race has gone well .. my legs feel strong and I’ve actually caught up on my sleep (finally). I can’t say i’ve been eating as good as I should be, but thats […]

Thanks to all those fellow runners who posted comments about this past weekends race here on my blog, we all struggled through it together but we made it. Hopefully everybody got notified about the results being posted. My last thoughts from this race: 1. Did you know I lost 8lbs of fluid on Sunday? I […]

Its been a brutal week so far at work, which has caused me to not be able to catch up on my sleep like I had wanted to, but I still think I have time to rest up before Sunday. I did successfully taper this week by cutting back the miles and now I just […]

Its really been an uneventful week except that I’ve tapered down the miles as I head into my final week before the next marathon. I wrote the other day about how humid it has been and it seems to have continued through the weekend. The humidity reminds me of how bad it was in Tampa […]

It sure has been a warm couple of mornings out there training as I get ready to wrap up this training cycle prior to my last spring marathon on 6/13. I formally head into my 10-day taper, which offers some lighter recovery runs with no real speed work or anything. The biggest difference is the […]

I spent the full holiday weekend down at my favorite vacation getaway, Wildwood, NJ. Although it felt like I was at Spring Break more than I was on vacation (because of the number of young people around), I still got a good weekend of training in. I managed to get my last 22 miler in […]

Its been an interesting couple of days analyzing my training using my new Garmin watch .. I’ve never really taken a good look at my training and why I feel the way I do at certain times during a run. The most interesting thing, and I don’t know if its normal or not, is that […]
