As I slipped into the pool this morning to try to implement my new effort to incorporate a complement to my running, I was momentarily distracted by the cheery singing of “ring around the rosy”. I looked up to see a group swim lesson going on with parents and toddlers. I smiled at the joy [...]

Complement
Posted in training, tagged Advanced Marathoning, marathon training, New Training, Pfitz 12/55, running on April 29, 2011 | 17 Comments »
com·ple·ment/ˈkämpləmənt/ Noun:A thing that completes or brings to perfection. Verb:Add to (something) in a way that enhances or improves it; make perfect. *** It’s time to complement – not to be confused with compliment. No, though I’m sure I could write 1000′s of words complimenting all of you, today the topic is complement. *** With [...]
…but sometimes I sleep
Posted in training, tagged running, sleep, training on April 28, 2011 | 7 Comments »
When the alarm went off at 4:15AM this morning I rolled out of bed and headed to the bathroom to change in the dark. 2 days of predawn running and my body had already fallen back into the routine. I wasn’t awake yet really. My eyes were half-closed, my consciousness stuck somewhere in a fog. [...]
I Train While You Sleep

So after taking a week off from running, the alarm went off at 4:30AM this morning, telling me it was time to run again. Time to dust off the shoes, slip on the shorts, put in some miles. Honestly, I’ve had to force myself NOT to run since Boston. It hasn’t been easy, but I [...]
Next?

So… Now what? What’s next? Damned good question. Boston 2011 has come and gone. A 3:10 Boston Marathon would have made it easy – the Vermont 50 in September followed by running the New York City Marathon with Autism Speaks in November with some shorter races between now and then. But I think I have [...]
Boston 2011 – Lemonade

As I bolted out of the porta-potty, I thought, this is it! this is the moment! THIS is where all of the training kicks in!!! I looked up at the first of the Newton Hills almost with a smile. You. Are. Mine. I thought. I had been running along at a decent clip, averaging in [...]
Disappointment
Posted in boston marathon, tagged boston marathon, disappointment on April 22, 2011 | 12 Comments »
So as I sit here struggling to write my race recap of this year’s Boston Marathon, there is one word that keeps popping into my head. That word is disappointment. Now, before any of you start to feel sorry for me, let me clarify one thing – Disappointment is NOT a dirty word. Disappointment does [...]
Working Title – At Least I Managed Goal E
Posted in boston marathon, race recap, tagged boston marathon, Picture Race Report on April 18, 2011 | 27 Comments »
So this one is going to take some processing time for me to fully wrap my brain around what happened to me. Suffice it to say, at 3:37, I did not achieve my ultimate goal of 3:10 or even beat my New York City Marathon time of 3:26. I thought I was ready. I thought [...]
It’s Time

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment Would you capture it or just let it slip? His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti He’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop [...]

So this is it. The training aspect of my 2011 Boston Marathon is done. This morning I ran an easy 4-miler. All that is left is 48 hours of rest and the 26.2 miles on Marathon Monday. What will happen? How will I do? I don’t know. It’s weird to think that the nearly 800 [...]
