• Soccer Field Six

  Posted on Thursday October 1st, 2009 at 20:53 in running

  Another six miles on the soccer fields where I really worked hard in a bold attempt to get fit for some of my upcoming races. Looking forward to the Race for Literacy 10 Miler in Suffolk, VA on Sunday’s 10 Miler. No goal at the moment, but I...

• Ten In The Park

  Posted on Thursday October 1st, 2009 at 04:40 in running, first landing state park

  Not my best run ever, but good to get in another ten miles. Started off with a couple of slow miles, but still found it difficult to pick up the pace along the Cape Henry Trail. I did notice some odd readings on the Garmin and now that I’ve loo...

  I followed up a quick blow out on the bike (6 miles in 17:57) with another run on the soccer fields at the PAAC. Started with two easy miles (7:52, 7:37) and then ran a couple of miles where I jogged the length of a soccer pitch and “sprinted&...

  Oh dear — fallen behind on the blogging again, so here’s a quick catch-up on what’s been happening: Thursday (Day 11): Yesterday, on Day 10, I ran “too-fast-for-an-easy run” and predicted I’d regret it the next day...

  Life is good, but life is also busy. Here’s another mixed bag of updates…. Friday June 5th: Very pleasant, very easy Friday morning run. It was raining. I got drenched. It was fun! Saturday June 6th: Ran the Equi-Kids 5k which turned out ...

  Followed up a 50 minute Muscle Breakdown Spinervals workout with a 10k Strength Builder Runervals workout - 100 minutes of quality work that left me feeling pretty beat up. Time to relax in my Zensah’s….. Advertisement: Runners shop here...

• A Triathlon Of Sorts

  Posted on Sunday May 24th, 2009 at 19:47 in swim, running, biking, push ups, hundred push ups

  Started the day with my first outdoor bike ride for a very long time! The 21 miles went rather well considering, but I’m definitely no powerhouse on the bike - especially into the wind. Good practice for next week’s Breezy Point Triathlon...

• Back On Track For Shamrock Marathon

  Posted on Tuesday March 3rd, 2009 at 18:30 in recovery, running

  I finally feel that last week’s sickness is well and truly behind me. The workouts and mileage I missed are gone for good; no point stressing about them so it’s time to focus on the next 19 days leading up to the Shamrock Marathon. I̵...

  Just noticed I haven’t posted anything about running since Sunday’s long run, so here’s a quick summary: Monday - just an easy 5.2 miles on the treadmill @ around 7:30 pace. Watched the 1984 Chicago Marathon for motivation where Wel...

  Posted on Tuesday January 6th, 2009 at 19:02 in running, mount trashmore, mud in your eye

  Quick update on how the running is going this week. I recovered well from Saturday’s 20k and ran a really enjoyable seven mile progressive run on Sunday where each mile was slightly quicker than the previous one: 7:36, 7:07, 6:54, 6:49, 6:42, 6...

• Far Gone Greetings: Cards For The Addicted!

  Posted on Friday December 12th, 2008 at 12:38 in running, greetings cards, triathletes

  Far Gone Greetings is a great web site selling “cards for the addicted”. The site is the brainchild of marathoner/triathlete Victoria Primicias who, in 2007, attended a runner friend’s birthday party and bemoaned the dearth of cards...
