I wrote and complained about being injured and being injured,etc,etc on Monday and it turns out that my Tuesday morning run yielded no pain whatsoever. My hammy was tight, but didn’t hurt, and actually after running a few miles, it loosened it up. It didn’t hurt afterward either. It felt so good that I had […]

It always seems that each week I have a different injury to nurse …. last week the groin, now this week, this sore hamstring. Its a real odd thing because although I’m saying its a hamstring, I can stretch my hamstring and feel no pain …. its actually not even pain, but a real tight […]

Its been a tough weekend of running in preperation for the marathon. I did an 18-miler on Saturday (my first), then an 8-mile marathon pace run this morning. I never realized how far 18 miles was until I looked at it on the map (by the way, I use gmap-pedometer), here is the course. It […]

I mentioned on Wednesday that I was having some pain with my right groin, and it seems things have cleared up for the most part. I was able to get my 9 miler in on Thursday, with a little bit of distress, the groin (actually the whole upper leg) was real tight towards the end, […]

I reported after the triathlon on Sunday that I was feeling good, however some pain creeped up on me on Monday morning … its odd, but both sides of my groin area (left thigh and right thigh) became very sore throughout Monday morning, and I thought it was just because I did alot of work […]

What an experience running a relay team in the triathlon … It was a hot day, and overall our team did pretty good. We didn’t come in last in any of the ways we could have, so I give us a lot of credit. Results are posted here (you can also see them in my […]

I’ve spent the last two days running in the weee hours of the morning, due to the extreme heat. I got 4 in yesterday, and 9 in today, and the funny thing is, even at 5:15am, its STILL hot. I left the house, with the sun not up yet, and it was 77 degrees. It […]

I did survive my 25 mile weekend with no injury or major pain, although the 17 miler on Saturday did cause me some grief. I didn’t get out on the road as early as I would have liked to, and I think by mile 9, I was overhydrated and very hot. I was feeling very […]

I’ve had no formal update this past week due to being on vacation, but it wasn’t a vacation from training, I still got my training runs in. I enjoy running when i’m in Wildwood because of the beach and the remembrance of the Ocean Drive 10-miler I ran in March. I look forward to running […]

I’ve just completed my the last workout before my rest day, and i’m taking advantage of it fully. I intend to relax tonight and all day tomorrow (plus I have to teach Friday and Saturday) in preperation for the long running weekend (plus the send-off to vacation!). I deliberately took it easy today, after a […]
