Well disappointment.

Today was a 17 with 14 at marathon pace. After all the good runs we had this week we were looking forward to it. Unfortunaly I don’t think Jason and I are recovering enough and I think we are doing our midweek runs too fast. What does that mean? Dead, tired and not moving [...]

On Friday, Leah and I went for a 12 mile run throughout the city. It was quite the trek, I must say. We started on Iowa and Western (Iowa’s 900 North), went East a mile to Ashland, zig-zagged around like crazy (Leah can fill in the details, but we hit Cortland, Southport, Lincoln, [...]

Hey People

Jason and I are thinking about running a spring marathon. We are thinking about this one :

It’s on March 4th and so perfect timing to start training after a short break after Chicago. It’s much smaller, I think there were like 1700 runners last year in the inagural run.

Anyone else interested? We could [...]

Jason and I have been throwing around the idea of working almost exclusively from home. I am not hooked up with any kind of postdoc at Fermilab so there is no one to talk to on a daily basis. And with the ease of iChat video on the Macs I can actually video conference with [...]

Alright, I’m wrapping up the last week of these stupid midnight-8am shifts. I did manage to sleep a couple hours before coming to work, but I’m still pretty tired so hopefully this is at least half-way coherent.

Yesterday Leah and I stayed home from work since I knew that I would be coming in for [...]

Yesterday evening Jason and I went for an 8 mile run through the streets instead of heading down to the lake front path. This is one of the best things about Garmin for city kids, because when you miss a light you can just turn down a different street and you don’t have to worry [...]

What an awesome weekend!!!

On Saturday morning the floor guys came to fix our floors and so Jason and I were in and out all day. We went to the laundry mat, to the coffee house, to Dodo for a late breakfast, to Borders to our Old apartment to pick up some stuff. Anything to stay [...]

On SATURDAY morning!!!!

The contractor for the building came to look at our floors today and I’m not insane as apparently when he and Jason pulled back the plastic we had covering the spots the smell was way overpowering! The guy was like, “That’s gross” and called (of course) his cousin to come out and take [...]

Yesterday Jason and I did an 11 mile medium long run. I guess these paces should be around where you long run paces are. Our first 5 miles or so were probably a little too fast (9 and under) but as we were running down Chicago Ave we made every single light. For those of [...]

Last night was a speed session. 8 miles with 5x600m at a 5K pace with 90s of jogging inbetween these.

When Jason and I went running on Sunday we found a track that is on Chicago Ave and basically Lake Shore Drive. For you Chicago people it’s right next door to the Museum of Contemporary [...]
