It’s hard to believe another week is in the books, but time is flying. Friday was the state track & field championships so the season is officially over. That means I’ll have to adjust more to morning runs since I won’t be running with the team in the afternoons (at least for the next two… Continue reading Week in Review 4/23/2012 – 4/29/2012

Week in review: 4/16/2012 – 4/22/2012
Things are starting to roll now. I’m getting out of bed in the morning and enjoying runs again. At this point, I’m basically planning on running the Walt Disney World marathon. I’m not going to register yet, though. It doesn’t fill up as fast as it used to and anything can happen. I’ll wait until… Continue reading Week in review: 4/16/2012 – 4/22/2012

Week in Review: April 2-8, 2012
It’s been a long time since I’ve done a “week in review” post mostly because I haven’t had a whole lot to report. I’ll admit that there’s not a whole lot to report this week either, but I have started things up again: Monday: 3 miles easy Tuesday: 5 miles easy Wednesday: Off Thursday: Off… Continue reading Week in Review: April 2-8, 2012
Running for Brews St. Pete
On Saturday, I showed up to my normal group run (the one I lead) planning on doing 5 or 6 miles. Inia was the only other person who showed up and she wanted to do 8 so I ran along with her. The pace was right around 10 minutes per mile and I held up… Continue reading Running for Brews St. Pete
On the comeback trail
After last week’s promising performance in the Jingle Bell Run, I gave myself permission to head to the park for some mile repeats at threshold pace today. Based on an 18:47 in a 2.9 mile race, my threshold range for 1 mile cruise intervals is between 6:45 and 7:05. I’ll admit that I was tired… Continue reading On the comeback trail
Training?!? What’s that?
I’ve got a streak going! This is my second blog post in as many days. I’ll be the first to admit that my own training has suffered since I’ve started coaching more. Lately, however, I’ve been getting back into the groove. Maybe it’s the end of the cross country season, or maybe it’s the cooler… Continue reading Training?!? What’s that?
The Week in Review (A little late)
Last week was a little better in terms of consistency from the week before: Monday: 6.5 miles (with a few threshold pace miles catching up to the varsity boys) Tuesday: 3 miles easy Wednesday: 5 miles easy Thursday: Off Friday: 12 miles Saturday: Off Sunday: Off Total: 26.5 Still a pretty small total all things… Continue reading The Week in Review (A little late)
Wake Up Call
On Friday night, I ran 12 miles with Sandy, who I’m training for the Disney Wine & Dine half marathon in two weeks. We wanted to get a nighttime long run in because it’s a nighttime race. When I run with Sandy, it’s usually between 10 and 11 minutes per mile. Since I’ve run a… Continue reading Wake Up Call
Going Goofy
I confess that I’m one of those people who likes to wear his medal around the theme parks after Disney races. I don’t often try to call attention to myself, but you really never get a chance to actually wear your race medals around that often. I’ll also admit that while I’m walking around feeling… Continue reading Going Goofy
