(2 months late, but better late than never. The reality is that I was not happy with how I did and was simply not excited to write about the race. The first section was written in the 2 weeks following the race) Time - 4:46:29 Place - 696/948 Age Group - 152/192 Well, this is [...]
Rhode Races
Last few days to Providence Marathon!
April 27, 2010 – Posted in: Rhode RacesJust in my final preparations for Rhode Races Marathon in Providence on Sunday. Two things about the race course so far that I love: Even though the marathon and half marathon are run at the same time, on the same day, and have the same start and finish lines, the courses completely diverge at 2.5 [...]
Checking in With Two Weeks to Go
April 19, 2010 – Posted in: Rhode Races runningRhode Races Marathon is coming up in less than 2 short weeks, and I'm feeling really ready. I've had mostly great runs, and have put in more miles before this race than any marathon prior. I overdid it in the last 2 weeks and then had a bad run on Saturday, but with a day [...]
Final long run for Providence Marathon done
April 11, 2010 – Posted in: Rhode Races runningReposted from my Daily Mile report. Click here for the route. Finished 22.1 miles in 3:57:08. 4th and final of my planned long run for Providence Marathon, in 3 weeks on May 2. Since the marathon is relatively flat, I decided to come up with a new long run route that was flat. Best place [...]
13.1 New York Race Report
April 4, 2010 – Posted in: Race Reports Rhode Races runningI'm usually good about at least getting the race reports up on my blog, but I'm behind - still have not written up the March Madness Biathlon from last weekend. For another day, perhaps... Yesterday was the inaugural 13.1 New York race. I've had this on my radar since mid-August, when I purchased a pair [...]
Great long run!
April 2, 2010 – Posted in: Rhode Races runningSorry to all of you that care about my training, but I've had very little time to blog about my training for the Rhode Races Marathon, coming up in 6 weeks (EDIT: umm, 4 weeks due to delays in getting this post finished!), on May 2. My training has gone really, really well this year, [...]
The fun part…
January 16, 2010 – Posted in: Reflections Rhode Races runningI love so many things about marathon training. Running with a purpose. Eating whatever I want. Watching the miles pile on. The journey to meet a difficult goal. Impressive comments I get from people who don't run. But the thing I love most of all, the part that I have the most fun with as [...]
Source of the Pain and some 2010 plans
December 8, 2009 – Posted in: injury Reflections Rhode Races runningI had the most amazing epiphany on Saturday night, when I took some time to ice my (what I've been calling) sore thigh/groin/hip. I was hurting pretty good after the NYC Marathon and fall softball season and have been working on recovery. I'm feeling much better now and starting to run a lot again, but [...]
