Triple the Long Run, Triple the Fun

57 miles in 3 days. That’s my plan for the weekend. And I’m 2/3 of the way there.

Early in the week, I decided that I’d do double 20’s this weekend since it was my last chance before having to start the taper for the HMRRC Winter Marathon. I was a little worried [...]

A Very Good Week

I’m sitting here, sipping some coffee with whiskey and trying to warm up from the final run in what has been an amazingly good week. At 61.4 miles, it wasn’t a particularly high volume week, and the 8:03 overall average pace certainly is nothing to write home about. So why so I say [...]

I wish more days were like today. This morning started off just about as good as they get. And from there, it just kept rolling.

Nearing 8 o’clock, I found myself lined up and ready to race in Central Park. My nerves were so bad that I was in serious physical pain, but [...]

Last Long Run, A Struggle

I’m proud of today’s run. On paper, it wasn’t anything too impressive: 18.04 miles in 2:15:04, a 7:29 pace. But that doesn’t tell the whole story. Around mile 11, I completely hit the wall. In response, instead of quitting or slowing down, we sped up. I kept feeling worse and [...]

The Long Way Home

My 6 mile run home from work somehow turned into a little over 16. After 2 hours, 7 minutes, and detours to New Jersey then Yankee Stadium, I finally arrived back on my block.

I started a little tired and sore from yesterday’s 10 miler, but then about four miles in, everything just began to click [...]

24 Miler

Almost three hours into today’s run I said to Sarah, “You know, I’ve been trying to think of another run that was better than this one but I’m coming up with nothing.” “Except the pace,” she said, “Our pace is horrible.” “Fuck the pace, this is the best run I’ve ever had.” [...]
