I hadn’t realized its been almost a month since I posted in my blog, just goes to show you that blogging isn’t my priority right now. Lots has happened since the last update, I finished the Outer Banks marathon and have started my winter conditioning program which you can read about at my other site, […]

There is no doubt that the weather on Saturday for the ING Hartford Marathon was just spectacular. I was a little worried all week when I noticed the morning temperatures falling into the low to mid 40’s in Connecticut, but all turned out well. It was a little strange for me running a marathon on […]

Sunday was a great day for me as I returned to my former glory of running sub-4 hour marathons .. I didn’t go out expecting to break 4 hours, but the pace I was running reminded me of how hard I trained all summer, so I went with the feeling and ended up with a […]

Just wanted to share a few quick thoughts on today’s race .. I kept my pace, stayed fueled and hydrated and turned out to have a great day. A 3:55 finish time today is the best time i’ve run in the past 2 years, so the “advanced marathon” training this summer did pay off. One […]

I knew it was going to be a long day on Sunday when I left the house to head out to the race at 6am. The one good thing is that I was able to sleep in my own bed the night before since the race was only 30 miles west of where I live. […]

My post race report for the 1/2 Sauer, 1/2 Kraut marathon today should be ready tomorrow, i’m just too tired to do it today. Just wanted to post real quick .. As I tweeted earlier today, it was a struggle for everyone out there .. and I mean everyone. The start temperature was 72* about […]

I wrote briefly yesterday about my finish time and my first thoughts on the Flying Pig marathon .. it was a challenging day for me in many ways, and from what i’ve read, for many other people as well. Even though my finish time was 4:15, which was 15 minutes slower than I had planned […]

So today is my recovery day from the Ocean Drive marathon, and although i’m kind of sore today, i’m not as bad as I had been from other races, maybe its that there weren’t many hills or maybe i’m just in better shape than I think I am. Thanks to everyone who supported me either […]

Here goes part 2 of my race report (hopefully I can get it all written tonight) The second 10 miles I wrote in part 1 that I started to have groin/quadricep pain, but thankfully it didn’t turn out to be anything major (except a nuisance). The course started to change through mile 10 from city […]

I’ve finally got myself together enough to get my post-race report done (or at least the first part of it). First and foremost, thanks to everyone who posted, emailed and wished me good luck on this race, I really outdid myself and had what I consider a ‘personal win’. Its hard to think that just […]
