I’m not one to really post pictures of myself because I don’t particularly like pictures of myself, but I got some low res pictures of both the New Jersey and the Delaware marathons … I thought i’d share the best ones …             Original post blogged on b2evolution.

It seems that proper planning is the key to success …. I succeeded in achieving a 3:45 today at the Delaware Marathon … by doing one simple thing, keeping the pace. My mile splits were unbelievable as I kept the 8:30-8:40 pace the entire time and didn’t die out at all .. I even finished […]

I’ve completed the short prep time and MENTAL preparedness for the Delaware marathon tomorrow. My family decided to travel with me this time, since it seems like a real fan friendly race, with stuff for them to do while i’m running. The fact that i’m running basically in 4 loops around the start/finish area gives […]

I haven’t updated since my poor performance in the NJ Marathon, however I feel i’ve ramped it up and bit and got my head on straight for this Sundays Christiana Care Health System Delaware Marathon (boy thats quite a mouthful!) I managed to get 49 miles in last week, getting my mid-week 12 miler, my […]

So i’m not going to let the race yesterday make me feel like any less of a good runner, I just had a bad day I guess (actually I didn’t, I just wasn’t being smart). There is nothing to be ashamed of .. I’ve decided to put it in the past and start getting ready […]

I have returned from the New Jersey Marathon, finishing with a time of 3:56 .. I didn’t think I would PR (missed it by 8 minutes), so I’m not totally upset, but I am upset with myself that I didn’t stick to my plan. I’ve learned in the many marathons I’ve run, that its all […]

So I hoped to have written this past week and as always, it just didn’t happen. I did have a good week of tapering, and was able to cut the miles back and rest up, which I think I’ve done a good job of. I got 3 good nights of sleep in a row since […]

It seems this short training cycle went by too fast (yeah right) … and I finished off my last long run prior to tapering for the New Jersey marathon two weeks from now. I headed out for at least 22 miles, and I got that, but I certainly remember the reason why hydration is so […]

So I wrote last week how I was heading out to Tampa, Florida on business this past week, and wow did i enjoy the weather. Being the fact that last Sunday, I was frozen solid from the cold wind, going out early Monday morning in Florida, when it was 65 degrees, was quite nice. Actually, […]

Things have been crazy lately, but I haven’t gotten away from running at all! I usually like to write in the blog every day during the heart of training, but I just don’t have the time. So since the last time I wrote, I have since completed the Ocean Drive 10-miler, with a decent result. […]
