Yesterday was a 4 mile run. The Higdon plan doesn’t really specify (or I don’t think so anyways) the pace that these should be run at. When using the Pfitz plan however I think remember the run after a long run being a recovery run….or that’s all garbage and I just wanted to do a [...]

I’m not a huge fan of bumper stickers in general, I mean they usually make me laugh and whatever but always the same kind of humor, We get it George Bush sucks.

But today, driving into the lab there was a navy blue VW Jetta in front of me. And on the lower left there was [...]

Jason and I had another great weekend. This working hard during the week thing and really enjoying the weekends is great.

Friday night after we got home from hanging out with Jake and Laura at about one in the morning we were walking to our apartment and said, “Wow, someone is having quite the party!”. Haha [...]

I seem to have failed to mention the running in yesterday’s post. So on Wednesday Jason and I went first to Fleet Feet (the new location over on Wells is so swanky!) and picked up our new Brooks Adrenalines as well as some socks for Jason and pants for me since I had misjudged the [...]

Ok, tired of hearing me talk about running plans, travel plans and commuting scenarios? Ok me too, so a break from that today for two funny things that happened yesterday. The first one will be especially funny to my parents (I had to actually call my mom at work) and my in-laws (I still feel [...]

I decided to take the train home from work yesterday. Not that there was a ton of traffic or anything, actually there was absolutely no traffic going my way. However, the traffic coming in from the western suburbs was absurd. Mind you, this was at about 9:30 in the morning and the Eisenhower was backed [...]

Alright, I know I know….bitch bitch bitch, moan moan moan. It’s cold. We haven’t seen the sun in forever. It’s cold. It’s snowing…again. Are we just weak Chicagoans or is something else going on. In the Chicago Tribune Metro section, on the back, there is a whole page devoted to the weather. There is also [...]

Well on Sunday we ran 7 miles (that’s right bitches…7 whole miles!) putting us at a total of just over 20 miles for the week and finishing off 4 days in a row. Due to the Blackhawks game on Wednesday we had to move the Wednesday/Thursday runs to Thursday/Friday. Both were somewhat difficult runs with [...]

Dudes….Drunk Jason came out to play tonight which is always fun. From him :

“Did the parking not catch up with the hipness”

while we were driving around looking for a parking space after hanging with the uber cool Jake and Laura.

Yesterday we had a 35 minute tempo run on the schedule. I got home from work at about 7:30 and we chilled, watched some American Idol and then at about 9pm headed to the gym. Similar to going early in the morning it’s nice and empty at that time and so Jason and I were [...]
