I wrote the other day that I had concerns about my knee being sore, and although its still a little sore, I don’t think its a big deal. I’m finding that a lot of muscles and parts of my legs are much more sore then they have been, probably due to the increased mileage and […]

Things have been nuts the last few days, but I had to write quickly about my latest symptom, knee pain. My legs were very tired from the weekend (quadricep-wise), and I think the imbalance with my muscles being tired and sore (basically weak) is making my knee work harder than it should. Gotta get it […]

The title of this post kind of says it all … this week of training just rocked, I hit a new high in miles, had a great weekend of running and am excited to keep going. I’m not sure why I have such the rush going, but I think it might be because i’m at […]

I’m happy to say that as the title of this post states, I had the best long run that i’ve had in quite some time. I managed to get 18.3 miles in today, up from he expected 17 miles I had planned to do (although I had the plan to go over that anyway, you […]

I wrote a few days back that I was deciding whether to add the Under Armour Baltimore Marathon to my fall race schedule, well, I decided to do it. I thought about the lag time between the first and second marathons in the fall … the first being mid september, the last being later in […]

I thankfully got up a little earlier than normal this morning because I hadn’t realized that there were some severe thunderstorms in my area overnight. I watched the 5am news and saw flashing orange and red spots on the radar just north of the Lancaster area… thats probably about 150 miles from here. I knew […]

I consider that I had a decent week of training, logging up 58.5 miles (up 3 miles from last week). I kind of feel the transformation happening slowly with my running in that its becoming subconscious again .. what I mean is that I’m starting to run without actually thinking about it, and just letting […]

After struggling 2 weeks in a row with my long run, I managed to crank out 17.5 miles today without feeling totally fatigued to a point that I had to walk … its quite an accomplishment as far as i’m concerned, or at least on the right path to success. I was fortunate to get […]

I’ve officially registed for the Philadelphia Marathon on November 22nd since I’ve now gotten over being rejected from the New York City marathon yet again this year. Funny thing is that I forgot about it until I finally got the official email from them which only put salt on the wound … but again, I […]

As I thought, i’ve been rejected from the NYC marathon … time to register for something else for the fall. If you didn’t get your email yet, you can log into the Entrant Info area of the website and you’ll see either a yes you got in, or: Thank you for applying for the ING […]
