Yowza – I’m a little behind this week. With the amount of time I’m logging towards my training, it’s sometimes a struggle to find the time to get everything done. I think if I could just hire someone to do my dishes every night and put my laundry away (it’s all workout clothes), I might […]

With week 4 coming to a close, I’m almost getting to the point in training where the SOS (something of substance) runs are going to start. Tuesdays will be speed workouts, Thursdays will be tempo runs, and Saturdays will be long runs. And you know how I’m feeling about those? BRING IT! My first month […]

Sooooo, I had decided a few months back that I was going to give Keto a trial run. I’d bought a few books, I’d done my homework, I picked a meal-plan that included a 3 week “keto-ish adjustment period” followed by a 3 week full blown keto meal plan with some intermittent fasting. I did […]

Week 3 wasn’t so tough in terms of mileage, but the combination of miles and the amount of cross-training I’ve scheduled for myself is definitely challenging. However, I do feel its paying off because I’m starting to feel stronger, that I can push myself harder or longer, I’m seeing my resting heart rate go down and […]

I know, I know. I’m starting a little late with this. Normally, I would have posted my training plan prior to day 1 of training, and then started in with the weekly recaps – but I decided to do this about 10 minutes ago, so I’m going to have to get you all caught up […]

2017 really wasn’t the greatest year for me – personally, professionally or health-wise. I’m not going to recap my failures, disappointments or problems from last year – mostly because that’s just a big friggin’ drag for me to have to write about and I don’t wish to bum out the few of you who actually […]

I took a blogging break for a few months – honestly, because I kind of lost my training mojo and just wasn’t particularly inspired to run, train or write. I figured when I felt I had something that I wanted to share, I’d start back up. I was finally inspired after this last weekend and […]

Up until last Sunday, my 10K PR was actually the first 10K race I ran, the Capitol Hill Classic, back in 2013. I’ve run a handful of 10K races since then, but after I started running half marathons and then full marathons, I never really thought about trying to improve on it. 10Ks became my “fun […]

I’m at the halfway point and I’m feeling pretty damn good about how things are coming along with my training. I don’t have any fears or concerns about running distances. I know I can run far and for a long time – been there, done that. It’s this whole running distances faster and for […]

This week started out rough. Last week, I mentally checked out of “training mode” and I was still trying to reset my thinking as I started the week. I’ve said time and time again that I really don’t love running. I love medals. I love achieving my goals. That is what drives me to go out and […]

It's all about the Medals. And Bacon.
