Time to get serious

August 25, 2008 by greg Leave a Comment

Ok, so I am behind in my training. But I did get in over 40 miles this past week. All in three long runs. Yesterday I did my longest run to date – 19 miles. I should have had a 20 under my belt a couple weeks ago. All this traveling and eating has left me bloated and not ready for the Twin Cities in October. So, I have decided that I probably will not make a PR on this upcoming race. But, if I want to finish feeling good, without injury, I’ve got to get more serious about my training. Time to kick it up a notch. Perhaps this blog will make me more accountable. Here’s my training plan for this week:

Tuesday, 5 miles
Wednesday, 10 miles
Thursday, 5 miles
Friday, rest
Saturday, 10 miles
Sunday, 20 miles
Let the serious running begin.

Sheer Neglect

August 11, 2008 by greg Leave a Comment

Talk about a neglected blog. I really need to get committed to doing something more here.

Time – it’s all about time. I have none. And I’ve been traveling quite a bit. This has been both good and bad for my training. Good in the sense that I have managed to run in many new places from Yellowstone to the Black Hills to Washington, DC. Bad, though, because I haven’t been able to lose weight and I’m behind in my training for the Twin Cities.

I did manage to get in a long run yesterday – 15.5 miles. Not the 19-20 I should have done. I’m pretty sore today which tells me I am undertrained. I have to find time to ramp things back up. But, alas, I’m off next week to yet another big city. No long run for me probably.
