Just a recap of the end of the week before it gets too far into the new one. I never did a 3M race report, and by now it’s irrelevant. Of course, all of this is irrelevant, so what’s it matter? Friday was my first day off in a couple of weeks. I’ve been trying […]
So this morning G said “Good job. You need to move to the next level now.” Ha! See here and here if you have no idea what I’m talking about. Modified circuit this morning. Long-way warm-up, a mile on the track, one circuit, then a bunch of hopping and higher-open and whatnot. We also did […]
Bagelfest 5K. Friday I emailed Andre, “I fear the pain of running fast.” Those damn Fila Relays scarred me. No More Races, I said. Saturday morning I jogged the course with Pat and Andre. It was cold and windy. Andre kept saying, “this is the last hill …. the final incline is right up there….” […]
Tempo yesterday. 25.04, a new PR. I’ve grown fond of tempo, wish it was on the calendar more often, wish it was longer distance. 6.26, 6.16, 6.08, 6.14. i got a stitch on mile 3 and i never get stitches. first mile was fastest i’ve ever run first mile. of course i paid for it […]

I don’t know why I haven’t been paying more attention to my widely-loved knob. Sure I’ve been busy, as always, with kids and work and colossal squid, but I guess like everything, once you stop for a time, it’s that much harder to start up again. But when snowboard boy says even he misses your […]
just wondering … am I at the next level yet? i hear that i’m now a “half-marathon guy”. guess it’s always good to be known as something, whatever it is, and even if it’s mildly (or wildly) inaccurate. i’m going to try to leave my racing to actual races, not workouts. also, i’ve lately been […]
