Month End Summaries

Running – 98 miles over 15 runs.  A stellar month.  Included a marathon, plus my first long run for my next marathon, plus a triathlon, plus my first run ever with my 14 year old daughter plus 3 speed sessions.  I'm now at 862.8 miles on the year, already shattering my previous high for a [...]

Running – 84.7 miles over 13 runs.  Probably not as many miles as I would like in my last month before a marathon, but it was my second consecutive month over 80 miles, so I'll take it.  At 764.8 miles, I am still on target for my goal of 1000 miles for the year.  I'm [...]

Running – 80.8 miles over 13 runs.  The number was only respectable because I had 2 long runs!  Hard to get a lot of miles in as I had 2 family mini-vacations in the month and a 12 day trip to Nairobi, where I only managed 14.2 miles over 4 treadmill runs.  Will need to [...]

Running – 76.7 miles over 15 runs.  The mileage was not as high as I would have liked, due to all the heat and  humidity in July.  I just can't take it.  Many of my runs were only in the 4-5 mile range.  But 76.7 is nothing to sneeze at, and my highest July total [...]

I'm sure I've driven most of you away with the lack of updates on my blog.  I think my less than stellar showing at the Rhode Races marathon put me into a bit of a blog depression that I've been unable to get out of, probably due to the extremely hot and humid weather we've [...]

The last post on my blog was my April month in review.  Life has seriously gotten in the way, and in addition, I've had 2 sub-par races (Rhode Races Marathon, Brooklyn Half Marathon), which I have had a very hard time writing the race reports for.  Maybe I'll get back into it and finish them [...]

Running – Another record setting month! 107.9 miles over 16 runs!  Highest monthly total ever, and 7 of 8 straight months with 80+ miles.  At 375.5 miles for the year, I've already out run 4 entire years of my 11 years of detailed record keeping, only a third of the way into the year! Races [...]

Running – 82.3 miles over 13 runs.  267.6 miles YTD is a record through March.  More importantly it is 6 of 7 months with 80+ miles, a level I never, ever, reached before Sept 08, covering 14 years.  For the first time, I think I could get to 1000 in the year, considering I'm running [...]

Running – 82.8 miles over 12 runs.  185.3 miles YTD is most ever through Feb.  80's is right in my sweet spot when marathon training.  Now that I'm adding long runs, along with speed workouts, I need more off days in between.  Given that, 12 runs in 28 days is not bad, almost every other [...]
