Seven In The Sun
Where is this crazy February weather coming from? High 60′s tonight and expected temperatures in the mid-70′s for the next couple of days! Not that I’m complaining of course… Tonight’s run was definitely going to be an easy mid-distance run with no heroics and no foolish race against the clock like yesterday. Saturday’s race and [...]
East Beach Norfolk Half Marathon
I can’t believe we’re already into the month of February. Is it just me who’s thinking “What happened to January?” I also can’t believe the Norfolk Half Marathon is my fifth race in the first 32 days of 2008! If I wind the clock back 12 months, I was probably in the best shape of [...]
Tidewater Striders Distance Series 25k

Based on my 20k time earlier in January (1:19:53), the calculator [...]
Easy Wednesday 4 Miler

Building The Base: Another Hour Of Running
Decided on a steady hour of running tonight to continue the base building phase of my current training program. Despite temperatures in the mid 30′s and a strong NW wind, I chose to run outside instead of the “easier” treadmill option. With two layers on top, hat, gloves and shorts (yes, still not cold enough [...]
Sunday Morning Long Run
I probably wasted too much energy on yesterday’s 5 miler – today’s “long” run (actually, 14 miles isn’t really that long when I think of the marathon I’ll be running in 9 weeks time) was quite a tough effort and I needed to dig deep and gut it out. Some time in the middle of [...]
