I’m not back to full speed by any means, so being able to accomplish something in my recovery is a big deal.

It looks like tomorrow is day 20 of my streak, which is already three times as long as my longest consecutive set of running days.

• Never been so disappointed in a sub-3 hour 20 mile long run #running #twit2fit I tried to repeat the workout that I pulled off last week--5-4-3-2-1 @ MP on a long run.  Last week, that run made me feel that I had a shot at 3:20 for a marathon.  This week, my run made me feel I would struggle to hit my PR.  While......
• Bluegrass 10000 Race Report I noticed something this morning preparing for the race: I had received what appeared to be a seeded bib despite last year's 57:27 time in this event.In registering, I'm sure I might have had some lofty goal such as 45 minutes... about 1:26 off my 10k PR... but nothing seed-worthy.......
