My last three weeks have been 80, 72, 85. In the last 10 days I’ve run 123 miles (sounds like a lot), or about 12 per day (doesn’t sound like too much). It has included a 20 miler, a 24 miler, a 14, two 13s, really tough mile repeats, two hard track workouts and 5 […]
I just had to post these. Hours of greatness. These are real and not from the Simpsons. A sampling: Alcohol Is Dynamite (1958) Bookkeeping and You (1947) Bus Nut (1980) Case Study – LSD (Lockheed, 1969) Cooking Frozen Beef Outbreak of Salmonella Infection (1954) Soapy The Germ Fighter (1951) Story of a Peanut Butter Sandwich […]
Supposed to be a down week. Took Monday off. Tuesday ten x Wilke plus lollipop. Nine easy on Wednesday. Track work Thursday, total fourteen. Friday ten. Twenty too hard on Saturday. Five for fun Sunday. Seventy-two is down? It's only fair to share…FacebookTwitterEmail
So what do you think? Can you tell which one is fifteen years younger, 50 minutes faster, 5 times wealthier…? I guess it’ll be a showdown when we both run Boston this year… ;) … taking my tongue out of my cheek now. Ryan Hall photo from here. It's only fair to share…FacebookTwitterEmail

“In the BagelFest (which had a record field of 900 runners), Chemirmir opened up with a conservative 5:30 mile in the hilly first mile and the only runners within shouting distance was 37-year-old David Vance and 41-year-old Eric Mata of Dripping Springs. But neither could match the leg speed of Chemirmir who won a 5-K […]
16 this morning, 8 at MGP. Tough run after Thursday 400s and Friday run. What is MGP you wonder? I wonder the same thing. 5K in the morning, and I'm feeling pretty dead, but I won't insult my dear readers with the usual annoying self-deprecation. We'll just see what I run and go from there. […]
Today's easy ten turned into a ten-mile progressive pace run. Started at 7:45 worked it down to 6:30 and under for the last five miles. Just felt good when I started and figured I'd keep it going until I didn't feel good. Well, once you get to a certain point in a run, even if […]
