Catching “The Moment”
For many outside of the running community, they can often hear their friends/families/co-workers or whomever speak in joyous tones of getting the “runners high”. Maybe they just finished their first 5K, half marathon or full and can’t stop talking about getting that euphoric feeling. They even talk about it when they go out for a [...]
Training Report: 2/20-2/26/2012
A continuation of my journeys in running, and more specifically what do I do now that my marathon has ended. I need to get back to actually writing down my thoughts on my training as it happens rather than just recapping in retrospect. Most of these are however from my Dailymile recap, which works also. Monday February 20 [...]
Of Changes and Future Plans
MINOR CHANGES If you’ve been following my training reports you might have seen that my goal races have changed just a little bit. After bombing over a 2 week stretch that culminated in me feeling utterly defeated I reached out to my Coach to get his advice. In short terms, he might as well have [...]

First Impressions: Altra Instincts & Lone Peaks
On Tuesday I received my long awaited Altra Instincts and Altra Lone Peaks! The first thing I did upon getting them of course was try them on. Making a huge leap going from the high heel of the Mizuno Inspire and Ascend (trail) I knew there was going to be a transition period, so I [...]

Race Recap: SCWT #4
The next race in the Snow Cheap Winter Trail series was last night, and man was it a muddy blast. Coming into this race I didn’t feel well. Fatigue set in pretty hard on Tuesday morning and I actually ended up cutting short my workout and my miles, didn’t run anything on Wednesday morning and [...]
