By the time eight-thirty rolled around this morning, I had already run over 21 miles. That being the case, you’d probably assume that I had a pretty productive day. Not so. I’ve been lounging around ever since, trying to recover from one of the most taxing runs I’ve ever completed. I had the [...] This morning’s run went much better than expected. I headed out to Prospect Park in Brooklyn with Antonio to run the Cherry Tree 10 Miler. On our way over, we talked about predicted finish times and I said that I just wanted to keep a 6:45 pace. His plan was to finish [...] When I was a kid, I had this Andre Agassi poster hanging up in my room that said REMEMBER: WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS — DON’T SUCK. 10:30 this morning, my internet connection went down again.

What the fuck happened out there? This was [...] I’m not sure why, but I really didn’t feel like running today. I had a few drinks with my friends last night, but not so many that I was hungover or anything. And I was feeling a little sore still from last week’s bump in mileage, but I don’t really think that was [...] As you may know, registration for the Chicago Marathon opened up yesterday. I didn’t register. I really, really wanted to, but decided that it just wasn’t practical. First off, there’s the money. By the time it’s all said and done, I’d drop a $1,000 on the trip. That’s money I [...] |
