  • Race Report: Monumental Marathon I've spent the past 6 months working up to this day.  Twice in the past 16 months, I've been sidelined from running for more than 6 weeks.  I began running everyday at the end of my last injury recovery, making it my goal to be able to run the......
  • Streak, Day 5: 2.81 miles in 27'01" #twit2fit Yesterday was a "tempo" day--a 1 mile tempo.  Maybe that's an interval.  Needless to say, I thought I could run a 7 minute mile, but I lost the pace at about 4/10 of a mile and struggled to keep a 7'20" mile. Coming off of that effort with a little......
  • Progressive Long Run (16 miles) while watching the game #twit2fit #running One of the things that's great about football season is that you can easily do a long run on the treadmill while watching the game.  I did mine today at home on my Sole F80 at a 1% incline (watching the UofL-UK game). I've been doing my long runs at......
  • Streak day 17 #twit2fit Nothing spectacular...  I decided to add "recovery" days into the streak.  Right now, I have them set at 2.5 miles on Tuesday and Thursday (beginning next week). 2.3 miles in 22'27" for 9'46" per mile, 2% incline.   I ran most of the run at 10'00" pace, with a 9'50"......
  • 5,4,3,2,1 mile MP intervals. Long run 18.24 miles at 7:45 pace. #running #twit2fit 15 miles of marathon pace intervals, in 5,4,3,2, and 1 mile intervals. 18 mile long run. Felt pretty good, despite lingering cough. - 1.2 mile warm-up, 10:16 (8:35/mi) - 5 mile MP interval, 38:52 (7:46/mi) Note: this was mostly uphill. - 5 minute recovery, 0.61 mi - 4 mile MP......
  • Streak day 16 #twit2fit 3.9 miles in 38'47" (9'57"/mile).  A little plantar fascia /arch pain in the left foot starting about 2.9 mile mark. I'm planning on converting my running plan to a 5% build-up to a 70 mile week for the week ending September 9, 2008.  That will be 9 weeks from the......
