| Recovery is over and the training has begun. The plan for Spring revolves around consistency and patience. I’ve had a taste of what I am capable of but have never been able to complete the training cycle to actually fulfill the potential. He... (2445 more chars) | |||

| 45 minutes today. The right leg is the one that is complaining now. It talked to me all day. Lucky for me, my massage guy is back in town and I'll get set up next week. No acute pain, just general soreness. Those extra 6 miles after 20 in... (762 more chars) | |||

| First, an embarrassing thing happened at the race packet pick-up. While my friends had normal bib #’s, such as 599, or 223, or even 50, I ended up with #7. It was my seed # from when I had registered and planned on running a stellar time. Now... (4746 more chars) | |||

| Well maybe you can. But this weekend’s motorcycle tour precluded any running. 1,125 miles on my motorcycle over the past weekend up in the Gaspe made running impossible. But that’s ok. Time is the greatest enemy of a good sol... (1425 more chars) | |||

| I hadn't notice that it had actually gone anywhere but today I was starving at the end of this morning's 10 miler. Instead of the normal oatmeal I had eggs topped with grated cheese and 4 pieces of toast. And then for lunch I had a really ... (981 more chars) | |||

| Today I ran a recovery 5 miler. The sunrise was beautiful, the air crisp, and the smell of autumn was all around me. Too bad I didn’t enjoy it. Wobble is today’s word. And Woozy . That’s another good word for today. ... (536 more chars) | |||

| With apologies to the Eagles, today’s 22 miler took me to the limit – again. These Sunday long runs are the hardest part of training when you are just getting back on track. It takes awhile for these runs to come easily (which they fin... (1309 more chars) | |||
