Ran 5 miles yesterday and finally (!) got through one of these runs all the way. I have been having such sore legs that I would have to stop and stretch a couple times durning the run. This didn’t happen yesterday though. We ran to the 5 mile marker and then back to the 3 [...]

As I was checking out the RW forums, I came across this thing where you could map out runs in your neighborhood using Google Maps. Check out:

It’s really amazing. When you zoom in all the way and then go to satellite view I could get the lake view running path which is not visiable on [...]

There wasn’t even a run scheduled for yesterday, but I was figuring that wa because in the schedule we should have run a race on Sunday. So as we didn’t I thought it would be a good idea to get out there and see how the ole’ legs held up. We probably were [...]

Wow, Jason thanks! I’m so happy that I was able to do something to help you today. I was feeling all kinds of things like, ” I have been holding you back this whole time, ” and stuff like that. I had a whole blog written in my head about things I could write about [...]

Today was a “fall back” week. I put “fall back” in quotes because it is pretty silly to think that 13 miles is an easy run. There is never anything easy about 13 miles. It is brutal.

This time Leah and I separated because I was running faster than her today due to [...]

Yes a song by the Black Eyed Peas (I think) but also a description of my current training state of mind. We just tried to run 8.5 miles here at work which we promised a couple of months ago that we wouldn’t try to do again. We work at Fermi National Lab which is basically [...]

Time for me to catch up. As Leah has mentioned (somewhere) below, we completed our 18 mile run and it was a success. I was really happy to get through one of the really long runs with no major problems. Sure, everything was pretty sore by the end, but we finished very [...]

oh man. yesterday’s run. I don’t have much good to say about it. As we started everything hurt on my legs. My quad muscle on my left leg, my feet hurt, my shins hurt. It was just annoying. I told Jason to just go ahead of me because I knew that my pace was probably [...]

Well we did the 18 miler on Saturday. Wow. I almost don’t have words for it.There were times that I didn’t feel awesome, there were times that I felt like a machine. But as I was running the last mile, I could feel my heart pumping out of excitement, I knew we were going to [...]

Well I suppose it something that you shouldn’t do cause you run to fast and are too crabby to stop for water or to stretch if needed. so that’s what happened today. I suppose we went about 5.5 miles or so. I don’t think we will be able to run tomorrow so I wanted to [...]
