Short-Term Running Goals: to continue to improve. Would love to get the elusive BQ. Ive been a consistent runner since 2006 but I truly didn't take training seriously until the fall of 2010. Before that.. I pretty much relied on my athletic ability to just get me to the finish line of events. Still truly haven't figured out the marathon distance. Currently just spending time awaiting for my marathon training to begin in June. Aiming for a strong fall Marathon PR. We will see.
Long-Term Running Goals: Have to finish NYC, Boston, Pikes Peak & Chicago. After that would love a shot at Commrades and possibly a 100 miler. Who wouldn't want a belt buckle. Personal: Married with two kids (9 & 5)
Marathon Maniac #2635 woo hoo!!

14 time on feet (9;16, 8:35, 8:32, 8:31, 8:32, 8:29, 8:46, 8:47, 8:25, 8:35, 8:09, 8:18, 8:32, 8:08) Had a odd shooting pain in the left ankle about mile 5.5 Went away after a couple of hundred yards. Guess im getting old. Tried a Citrus Orange AccelaGel at mile 9 and that was the worst thing ive EVER tasted. How can chocolate from the same maker be so good but the orange be so bad? Anyways.. it was a freebie I picked up from SB. I wont be grabbing anymore of those. Stay clear of that flavor. So I was running down Castile and passed a lady wearing a confederate flag tshirt, smoking a cigarette while walking a dachshund and the dog was wearing a red Run DMC tshirt". Not something you see every day. Hey thats a new idea for blog data.. "things seen while out running". Entry number 1 in the books :-) Super humid run.. resisted the urge to run much faster.. felt good. Mile for week ending today = 50.19 Crash

Failed to charge Garmin so had to run with phone. 6 time on feet (8:54, 8:39, 8:40, 8:33, 8:00, 7:20) Totally trying to figure out when the humidity will subside. I do like the temperature warm but the humidity is starting to irritate me. Finishing every run soaking wet stinks.

| Sometimes life throws you a curve ball. Tonights 10 miler turned into a 7 miler. Brody selected Cheeburger Cheeburger for his birthday dinner and dad had too many onion rings. Poor decision on my part but oh well.. I will have to make up the 3 miles elsewhere during the week. Life goes on. 7 Time on feet (8:49, 8:50, 9:08, 8:59, 8:53, 8:30, 8:32) |

10 Time on feet (8:39, 8:16, 8:13, 8:12, 8:12, 8:34, 8:34, 8:38, 8:32, 7:57) 89 degree and sunny workout. Humidity wasnt as high as normal which was nice. Was feeling great and totally fought the urge to take off and run hard. I constantly reminded myself that I dont normally put in a 10 miler on Wednesday... add that to a week thats supposed to be easier than normal and I did the right thing in shutting it down for the latter miles. Its very difficult to describe in words but almost all my training runs are feeling what I like to call "automatic". Kinda like I could be running along and almost close my eyes and not have to worry about what im doing. Its kinda like the body automatically knows what to do and does it. I guess the power of repetition has kicked in with full effect. Ive only felt this way once before and that was back in 2010 when I was in really good shape. All great signs. Now I can see 20 milers in my near future.. lots of them. At least 5.. may 7. We will see how the body holds up. Crash |

| 6 time on feet (8:50, 8:40, 8:49, 8:48, 8:50, 8:21) late start tonight due to the All Black fantasy football draft.. an hour and half of smack talking / football picking / busting on one another which resulted in Scott calling Peter a pu$$y on a FB comment. lol. I was lucky to have the first overall pick and decided to go with Baltimore's Ray Rice. I foresee many a points to be racked up there. I like my team a lot.. I failed to get the quarter back I wanted but I still got Philip Rivers, Big Ben and wait for it.. wait for it.. wait for it.. Tim Tebow!!! Hellz to the yes!!! they might as well just give me all the prize money now :-) Hopefully im better at making football picks than I am with golf picks. This one is for real live cash money though!!! Cha Ching!! Show me the money!! The run was great. Crash |

| 14 time on feet (9:03, 8:51, 8:44, 8:35, 8:50, 8:59, 8:35, 9:15, 8:52, 9:13, 9:03, 8:50, 9:05, 8:31) I totally screwed the pooch on this run. It was a fair bit more humid that I expected and only carried one hand held bottle. Had to start to conserve liquids by mile 6.. by mile 11.. I was totally out. Just before I walked out the door.. I said nah I wont need to carry a cc with me.. one bottle was enough for the same route last weekend. Got home and downed a huge glass of water, a tall glass of chocolate milk, a soda and a gatorade. Im 99 percent positive a 20 miler awaits for me next Saturday. Game on. |
