  1. RUN
    great The Hills Are Alive! 18.06 mi 02:31 08:22 pace

    Had 18 on the schedule this week, and although I hadn't gone longer than 12 since the middle of January, I wanted to stick to it. Planned two 9-mile loops with as many hills as I could find. Made... read more

  2. FIT
    Zumba! 01:45

    I was the only guy there, and I REALLY can't dance, but this was tons of fun and a surprisingly good workout!

  3. RUN
    great Hump Day 10 10.13 mi 01:22 08:02 pace

    10:45 rolled around last night and I thought it'd be a bad idea to wake up at 4:20 to get a short run in this morning. So I decided to combine the miles and do some double-digit miles this afterno... read more

  4. RUN
    great Post-Dentist Loop #2 3.01 mi 00:36 11:53 pace

    Same loop as earlier, but this time I had Kristen B. for company. Everything felt good!

  5. RUN
    great Post-Dentist Loop #1 3.01 mi 00:22 07:22 pace

    Working out the Novocain on another post-dentist run (the last for a while) - did a 3-mile loop while waiting for K to get home. Goal was to keep each split under 8, and I went 7:50, 7:12, 7:06. ... read more

  6. RUN
    great Back to the hills 7.11 mi 01:00 08:26 pace

    First time on my usual hilly loop since I did something weird to my hamstring a week and a half ago - went pretty hard on the run intervals and felt good throughout. A good test that I seem to hav... read more

  7. RUN
    great Easy 7 with K 7 mi 01:26 12:19 pace

    Pretty cold for Kristen B. 's weekly long run - 22 with a wind chill of 12 - but warmed up pretty quickly and got some good miles in. Got in a loop around our pond trail, although the ice forced u... read more

      Soccer? Soccer? You do know that it's Super Bowl Sunday don't you? ;-) Truth be told, I'd rather watch soccer myself...but don't tell everyone at the bash later tonight! Have a good day!

  8. RUN
    good Loop-de-loop 12ish 11.9 mi 01:39 08:16 pace

    Definitely felt more back to normal today, although my Garmin mysteriously forgot to charge over the two days I had it plugged in. So I ended up running this totally by feel, and sure enough, I ca... read more

    great Mini-brick middle 4.42 mi 00:19 13.8mph pace

    Got on the bike for the first time since the tailbone fiasco back in October - still hurts on occasion, but not to sit on a bike. Pretty excited to have a solid cross-training option back in the m... read more

      Nice to see you on the bike! I'm riding to Lady GaGa these days, so don't take entertainment advice from me.

  10. RUN
    great TM Mini-brick 5.19 mi 00:46 08:51 pace

    Did a little mini-brick - two 23-minute runs (one episode of Arrested Development each) with a little spin in the middle. Kept it slow and easy, and the hamstring didn't act up at all - pretty pum... read more

  11. RUN
    great Bonus miles! 3 mi 00:36 11:53 pace

    Bonus miles with K after she got home - really fun to do some easy midweek miles with her! At the slower pace, no hamstring trouble at all - a good sign!

  12. RUN
    good Easy-does-it fiver 5.19 mi 00:45 08:44 pace

    An easy five - trying to keep the miles and pace reasonable this week to see how my hammy responds. Not bad - I can tell it's there, but no pain. Cross-training tomorrow!

  13. RUN
    good TM tightness 7 mi 01:02 08:48 pace

    Back after a few days nursing a sore hammy - might have overdone it a bit on the mileage, but the pace was comfortable. Hoping some rolling and ice will help!

      Nice run. Good luck with the hammy.

      If you'd stop getting lost, your mileage would be lower! Just kidding.

      Seriously - it first happened when I got lost in Windham last week. That's one good thing about the TM - impossible to lose your way!

  14. RUN
    alright 2/3 of a long run 10.35 mi 01:29 08:34 pace

    The original plan was to do three laps of my usual 5+ mile loop (to get used to the mental strain of the repeated loops that both my spring races are run on) - got halfway through the first when I ... read more

  15. RUN
    great Accidental Ten 10.2 mi 01:27 08:29 pace

    As is my custom when I run on the back roads of the town where I teach, I got a little lost, and a planned 9 became 10+ miles. Kept it pretty easy and did 9:1 run-walk intervals throughout - glad ... read more

  16. RUN
    great Gyming it up 6 mi 00:51 08:30 pace

    Did my usual Wednesday routine - two runs on the TM with some strength work in the middle. Today was 3 miles each with some arm, core and hip work in between. Kept it super easy on the run to hel... read more

    great Springtime in....January? 8.01 mi 01:03 07:48 pace

    Awesome, awesome day to run - 50ish with a little breeze, so back to shorts and a t-shirt for me! Did my usual hill loop with a little exploring thrown in - pushed for 3 miles in the middle and got... read more

  18. RUN
    great Boston Prep 16 Miler 16 mi 02:04 07:45 pace

    Boston Prep 16 miler this morning, a sort of locally famous race that I've never been in shape to run until this year. Had 15 on the schedule, so figured I'd give it a go. Kept it around 7:40ish ... read more

    good Let It Snow! 4.19 mi 00:36 08:34 pace

    A few inches of snow and no plowing made for slippery roads out there, but I wanted to get the blood flowing anyway before tomorrow's Boston Prep 16 miler. Had 6 on the schedule and it felt like t... read more
