As much as I appreciated the extra hour of sleep the Sunday of the New York City Marathon, I have to admit, I really dislike giving up daylight savings time. It just makes it feel like winter is that much closer. I begin to hit the wall that much sooner. I reach for a glass [...]

October 2009 – Manchester, NH. I am running my first marathon. I have aspirations of qualifying for Boston in my first marathon. How cool would that be? Of course, I’ve only been running for a little over 11 months now. My training has been haphazard, AND I’ve had to lay off the miles in the [...]
A Break

I have a friend. I have only met him in the real world once. He was a large part of why I was able to qualify for Boston back in October of last year – we carried each other for 15 miles. On that day he missed qualifying for Boston by seconds. As joyful as [...]
Unprepared

Tonight I am running a marathon. No, literally, I am running the Around the Lake Marathon tonight, starting at 7PM. If you are in the Wakefield, MA area this evening, please feel free to come out and cheer. I have never in the last 21 month of marathon running felt more unprepared. How unprepared am [...]
Molasses

Yesterday morning I went out for what the training schedule called a “dress rehearsal” run – 7 miles with 2 miles at Marathon Pace. As crappy and as sporadic as this training cycle has been, I’m not sure why I’ve continued to stick to some of the training program, but there it us. The temperature [...]

Manchester Marathon 2009 – Mile 20 – frozen quads. Boston Marathon 2010 – Mile 20 – minor bonk. Providence Marathon 2010 – Mile 1 – buckling knee. New York City Marathon 2010 – Miles 5, 13, 20 and 22 – nausea and cramps. Boston Marathon 2011 – Mile 17 – Major bonk. The Ghosts of [...]
Man in the Mirror
Posted in other, rest, training, tagged Energy, motivation, running, youth on July 15, 2011 | 5 Comments »
When I look in the mirror I do not initially see a 41-year-old man looking back at me. The man, er boy, staring back at me is still young. But as I lean closer to the mirror, the wrinkles become more apparent. The amount of salt on my unshaven face is ever growing. The gray [...]
Symmetry

A big, fat 0. That’s the number of miles I have run in the last 7 days. 0. Zip. Nada. I’m definitely starting to get a little grumpy. But now I am battling myself on two fronts. The fire, that internal engine is still stuck in neutral; motivation to train is at a low; but [...]
Unintentional

It’s been almost a week since my last run. I’ve officially only missed 4 runs on my training schedule and am most likely to miss a fifth tomorrow. Although I am starting to feel a little antsy, I don’t have that sense of urgency that has driven me in the past. When I wrote a [...]
