Day 251 / week 9 I reread a year of my blog posts over the weekend on my training runs and it was funny that I always say I don’t run enough and that my training plan is derailing, but I always pulled through in the end for my race. I am always a crutch… Continue reading weekly run summary

Monday run summary
day 245 The week has been distracting to say the least with the coronavirus news. I only had one marathon canceled on me so far but it dealt me a major blow and I haven’t really run much. It shouldn’t affect me emotionally. I know I should run with or without the race, but it… Continue reading Monday run summary
Laurel #2 review/lesson
Day 244 The trip was almost a mirror of the first trip but with better luck. I was able to leave from work on time and with lighter traffic than usual from the COVID-19, I was able to get home within an hour. The clock started ticking once I got home. I decided to cook… Continue reading Laurel #2 review/lesson

Day 218 Finally got my training started for this season. Maybe when I have time I will post why it took two months to get it off running. I blamed it on Post-Marathon Blue. I will cheat a little and count the Sunday in San Diego as my Day 1/ 0. -Sunday: 26.2 miles. ran… Continue reading Run
Training soon
Day 203 I should start running again. I checked my schedule. I don’t really have that much time to be slacking off. Ideally, I should start building my base now. I don’t know if I will get into the 70-mile race yet. Some have gotten in. There is no announcement yet if the race is… Continue reading Training soon

day 162 I will keep it short as I have to sleep soon. Thank you faithful readers for reading my stuff. I don’t think I am that entertaining but it is encouraging there is someone out there reading my rants and complaints. I am about to finish my second week of training and looking back,… Continue reading short post
