What a Difference a Year Makes!

Hello, everyone! I hope your weekend has been great. The weather is finally starting to turn around for more than just a day or two at a time. Soon enough, we'll be sweating before we even start running. I haven't mentioned it a whole heck of a lot in previous posts, but this morning I …

350 Days Later – Get me on the Court and I’m Trouble…

Happy Friday to all, and to all a Happy Friday! It's not quite time for a weekly training recap yet and I'm sure you're all tired of those anyway, but I wanted to post something about how I felt yesterday. I was in a glass case of emotion, as Ron Burgundy might say. As you …

Rehoboth Beach Marathon Training Week 10 – If at First you Don’t Succeed…

Some of you may have noticed that I didn't post anything related to my training for the last couple of weeks. There's a reason for that. I WASN'T TRAINING. Ever since a run the day after my 40th birthday, I've been battling right leg pain that seemed to move all over the place. After plenty …

Rehoboth Beach Marathon Training Week 7 – Do you even train, Bro?

Good morning! I'm a little late in my training recap this week, but I was on vacation! I went on a road trip with my mom and dad through Chicago and up to good ol' Sheboygan, WI. I've had to shut my training down quite a bit. I'm pretty bummed out about it to be …

Rehoboth Beach Marathon Training Week 7 – Insane in the Brain

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." I've heard the quote above before, but nobody REALLY knows where it came from. Some credit Albert Einstein and he's a pretty smart guy from what I gather. This quote came to me most recently when I started to look over …

Rehoboth Beach Marathon Training Week 6 – I’ve got that Summertime, Summertime Sadness

Another Monday is here. We all know that Mondays suck, but it still feels good to complain about them. My post title is from a song that will undoubtedly work its way into your brain today and for that I am sorry. I wish I had more awesomeness to post about, but this week from …

? Marathon Training Week 4 – The Decision

It feels like Monday, but it's Tuesday! That's pretty nice. I feel like I'm a bit jet lagged, although we didn't fly anywhere. We made a trip up to DC for a baseball game and had it was HOT. Soooooo hot. That combined with not getting home until 10pm was enough to wear me out. …

? Marathon Training Week 1 Recap – Get Back to Where you Once Belonged

It's Monday. I know. We have to power through this. I started out with an easy 3 miler (threasy) and a cup of coffee with Lil' Code. It's not a bad way to get the week started. My title is from a song this week. Show me how smart you are and guess it. I'm …

A Race I Can’t Win – Me vs. Last Year Me

Hello and happy hump day to you! My July running results are in and I finished with 96 miles, down 1 mile from June. Why didn't I run 4 more and get an even 100?! I started August off with a 6 mile run that included 4 pretty fast miles. The splits were 7:21, 7:13. …

Tell Me What you Want, What you Really Really Want

Hello and good morning! I didn't plan on posting anything today, but I have stuff on the brain and I need advice. My post title song will probably be in my head (and your heads) all day now. I hope I don't sing it where I can be heard. The reason for today's title is …
