So I wrapped up the week with a decent 10 miler down in Edwardsville .. it was cold again (well again, not the air temperature, the wind chill was). My legs are pretty much smoked, and by the time I got back to the car, I was pretty wiped out .. It really feels like […]

Today’s 20 miler really rocked, I mean really rocked … (did you ever think i’d say that I loved my 20 miler?) I ran it in under 3 hours, which made me come home and recalculate the distance to ensure that I didn’t run it short, but sure enough it came in at 20.3 (see […]

So I can tell i’m getting more serious now since I am writing regularly in the blog here, and my body will also agree that its considering things more serious as well. I’m kind of beatin’ up a bit at the end of this training week, especially after my 10 miler this morning. So lets […]

I did a pretty good job on my first 20-miler of the season, cranking it out at 3:07 in the mild temperatures today. Thankfully there was no rain or anything, but there was also not any sun, it was a dreary damp day since it rained last night. I’m finding that my overall long run […]

I unfortunately had to turn off the comment feature, and disable new user registrations until I find a way to deal with the spammers out there who are continually spamming my blog. Guess its a read only thing for everyone now, sorry for anyone who wants to comment, I wish I could do something about […]

I had a pretty decent week up until the weekend, it was a real struggle to get through all the runs. Saturday it rained, and rained, and was cold and nasty .. but I got my 18.3 miles in. I then ended up being sick Saturday night and Sunday morning with my stomach, i’m not […]

I inadvertently forgot to renew my domain name for another year, which meant that the website here was unavailable! ACK! Well, we’re back and better than ever! I’ve had my second strong week of running in preparation for the NJ Marathon on May 4th. I got in my first 16 miler for the season, and […]

I made the commitment to really get serious now since i’m just 10 short weeks away from my first marathon of the season. I’m thankful now that I didn’t register for the OD marathon again, because I never would have made it. I managed to get in 44 miles this week, cranking out my first […]

So its been about 2 weeks since my last update and I just got through my second major setback of the winter season. If you recall in January, I was out for 5 days while I got sinus surgery, but then slowly made my way back … and now my wife had knee replacement surgery […]
