The Usual Recovery Week
I knew going into last week’s hat trick that I would feel it for a few days. I had a similar experience after Dumbo two months ago. Running back-to-back races (10K/Half) for DDD wasn’t too bad, as I walked around … Continue reading
RW Hat Trick Complete
I did it! 22.4 miles in 2 days – 3 races – 3 medals! I finished the 2014 Runner’s World Hat Trick (5K/10K/Half)! My times weren’t the best, but I crossed that finish line all 3 times upright… only needed … Continue reading
Ready for Runner’s World
In between the rain we’ve had these last few days, I got in one last good run tonight. 3.5 miles at a decent pace. I’m ready for Saturday and Sunday, ready to knock out the 5K, the 10K, and the … Continue reading

New 5K Training Record
After the 11 miler on Sunday, I followed that up by a nice relaxing 10 mile bike ride on Monday night. Tuesday was a walk day, followed by nothing yesterday. Earlier today, I did a short mile walk at lunch, … Continue reading
Intervals, Intervals, and more Intervals
Trying to get back into interval running earlier today… set the MapMyRun app for 2:1 run/walk and headed out. 9 miles later I found out that the intervals seemed to keep on a fairly consistent 11:30 pace. Towards the end … Continue reading
Storms – The Universal Motivator
Visited a new chiropractor earlier this afternoon… haven’t been to once since my martial arts days. The visit went well, and I felt better in my neck and upper back upon leaving. Figured I’d try a tempo run tonight. Add … Continue reading
