After Fila Relays last year, my takeaway was “No More Races”. After 3M it was “races can be fun!” After Bagelfest it was “Bagels for Everyone!” And now, after Cap10K, I think the motto will be “no whining.” Just run, baby. You get what you get and don’t throw a fit. Speaking of just running, […]
Our perceptions of the world and ourselves are odd. Sometimes what we think happened didn’t actually happen. Sometimes what we feel isn’t based on reality. As I said yesterday after the race, I thought I really sucked. But lets look at the numbers. I know you can prove anything with “facts” and that there are […]

I wonder, when I look back will the label fit? It doesn’t seem to now. Friday I ran the Swedish Fish cross country 5K. It was difficult and discouraging, but fun and informal. 19:18 on the unofficial course, with the winner running something like 16:10. There were about 20 people on the starting line, including […]

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….” […]
