Middle of a long run

Day 156 Boy is it hot! I am 7 miles into my long run and now stopped and got sidetracked here. I had my biometric taken for the TSa pre check screening. That is another story. I am not so happy to pay a load of money so that I don’t have to go through […]

Intensity

Day 115 I came across a training article. The concept is pretty simple and logical, but it occurs to me that it is an important truth that I have overlooked. The concept is we train in three phases. The first is foundation. We build a good foundation and hopefully the last three years, I had […]

Middle of the night

Day 73 Halfmoon Mnt Run: It got cold since last night. I was going to run to get to 30 miles but having been out the whole day, I just couldn’t bring myself to get back out there in the cold. More on this why I was out. Instead of running, I had a cross-train […]

Expectation

I would like to believe that I am somehow better than last year in term of having greater endurance after completed all those marathons. I can tough through anything. Anyhow these last few weeks after my marathon (wow almost a month now), I am feeling very lethargic and it brought me down a notch. I […]

Finally got outside

I finally got myself outside and ran. Not going to go in details about how my body reacted…and adjusted to running again. My right hip area still bothers me. It feels like something is wrong with the joint socket or one of the nerve/muscles is a bit off. I could locate that particular muscle with […]

I had another run last night, a 4 miler. It was a relaxing pace. I ran with two other people. We were not in a hurry to go any where. We started early
