So as expected i stepped on the scale on Monday morning and found that I was at 191 pounds, ugh, not so good … it does mean I have some work to do, but i’m up to the challenge. I have a little more time on my hands now (at least for the next week) […]

I’ve returned from my trip to the Jersey Shore, and as promised, I got in just over 61 miles this week after getting 2 decent 8 milers in on the Wildwood boardwalk and beyond. I also walked probably 10 miles in the 3 days we were there (plus I ate like crap) .. so now […]

As I wrote the other day, I intend to get a whole lot of miles in before leaving for the Jersey shore tomorrow morning. So far i’ve done pretty good in getting 35 miles so far since Monday, with the intention to get maybe 10-12 miles in tomorrow morning before we leave .. It was […]

Somewhere in the last couple posts I spoke about losing my motivation and having to get back on the wagon … well, I found that getting angry is the best way to get the blood moving again and get myself on track … I had an excellent weekend of running and kicked things into gear […]

Its hard to think that its after July 4th already, but there are still almost 3 good months of outside running left before it gets brutal again… I think the training is going well, despite the rotator cuff injury from 2 weeks ago, it doesn’t seem to really bother me at all when i’m running […]

I’ve noticed that its been quite awhile since i’ve updated and posted in the blog. I guess you can say that I’m busy and not finding as much to write about as I once did. That doesn’t mean i’ll give it up, but I guess i’m just looking at it differently now. Training for the […]

I wrote last week how I was dealing with heel pain, not sure if its a bone issue, or if its my ACL, but after running with the heel support all week, it felt pretty good until I did the long run Saturday. Its no worse than last week, so thats hopeful, but it still […]

I’ve been trying to deal with some pain i’ve been getting in my right ACL region, and after digging into a bit more, I don’t think its so much the ACL, but more the heal. Its just real sore… I don’t think there is anything broken or fractured or anything, its just gets real sore […]

So I decided to head out and do the Forty Fort “Old Fort” 5-miler today, and had such a good race, that I PR’d and didn’t even know it. I hadn’t checked my time from last year to know what to beat, because I really didn’t go out with intentions of ‘racing’ per se, just […]

I got so involved in posting the pictures from the last two marathons that I never wrote about the fall schedule. I did finally register for 3 of 4 marathons in the fall, I just have to register for Philly yet. I have completed my week of recovery and taking it easy as they say […]
