It feels like months since I've done this, but really it's just been weeks... too long in either case. So it felt "good" to get back to it. Had to back off on the planks a bit... read more

blah BPRC Group Run 5.01 mi 00:43 08:38 pace
Being around so many of my friends was great. But I tried too hard to keep up a pace at which I was not comfortable in the heat and humidity and boy was I wiped out at the end. And right after we f... read more

good Mountain Goat on the mill 2 mi 00:26 13:03 pace
haven't done this workout in a couple of weeks so I decided it was high time to get back to it. Set the mill at 12 on the incline and the speed at 4.5 and gradually increased the speed until I... read more

So important to have the support, especially from a spouse. They have to do the work around the house and with kids while you run/train. If they're not supportive, it can drive a huge wedge over time with resentment and frustration. I'm glad you have that supportive system!

I didn't have much time to stay out and play so this one had to be a little short. Kept it very slow on the uphill parts of this run (up Abernathy to Glenridge and up Glenridge to Mt Vernon). ... read more

Ha ha ha! Isn't that the funniest thing? :-) I was so surprised when two or three friends posted this on my FB page and then I opened up e-mail and saw that it was legit. It was a great race last year, and it will be fun this year!

great 1 of 2 Tuesday "easier" miles 5.01 mi 00:41 08:07 pace
Goal was to get in 5 miles with the first four averaging in the high 7s - low 8s and then cool down for a mile. I call these the easier miles because the route only has one real hill whereas run nu... read more

Well I'm not a total ditz! That's what I thought cadence referred to, but I just wanted to check to be sure.

Teri the interesting thing is that the initial reason I started upping my cadence was to do hills faster. And my rationale was that if the greatest hill climbers on bicycles used a high cadence and low gear then maybe the same idea would work in running. Then after that I learned it was a good idea in general to have a high cadence so I worked hard to adapt it to flats and downhills too.
