good new hilly route around Cheshire 5 mi 01:00 12:03 pace
Decided to skip the flat (but pretty) local trail and instead went for some very hilly roads in the area. Took it very easy since some of the terrain is considerably harder than anything I do in t... read more

alright Cheshire CT 8 mi
Nice and easy 8 miles around the neighborhood and on the local rail-trail. Went out intending to do 5, but felt great enough to stay out and go for 8.

blah Cheshire CT 5 mi 01:05 13:00 pace
Slow run/walk to stretch my legs. Cold & lungs tightened up early on. Even though I was feeling pretty terrible I worked in a few 30 second bursts of speedwork that really got my heart pumpin... read more

great New Orleans LA 26.2 mi 06:15 14:18 pace
Everything about this race went well for me except for the fact that I haven't been training, so I decided to take it very easy. If I'd trained I know I could have broken my PR. I will so... read more

Jumping rope at a moderate clip. Way more strenuous than I expected! I will be doing a lot more of this in the future.

alright Cheshire CT 5.01 mi 00:58 11:36 pace
A short 1-2 mile test run in my new Altra Provisions turned into a regular 5 miler because my feet were feeling great! Unfortunately this wasn't the only first I experienced tonight: I also ... read more

alright Cheshire CT 5 mi 00:58 11:40 pace
A quick evening 5-mile #goofychallenge training run in crisp 29 degree weather. I layered perfectly but I never settled into a steady breathing rhythm. It still felt pretty great to be out -- and... read more

alright B&A Trail - Arnold to Severna... 10.3 mi 00:02:15 00:13 pace
Nice recovery / Goofy training run with MDM. 4:1 ratio for first 7 miles at about a 12 min pace, then I walked the last 2.5 due to some stiffness in my right toes.

good Annapolis MD Half Marathon 13.1 mi 00:02:39 00:12 pace
Beautiful thick fog hung in the air for the duration of this race. It made for a very unique atmosphere!
My left foot gave me no trouble at all. Did a 3:1 ratio for most of the race but stretched... read more

alright 13.1 mi 02:41 12:17 pace
Took this race nice and easy. I ran the first 2 miles at a 10 minute/mile pace, then started doing a 4:1 run/walk ratio. All I wanted to do with this one was finish: I knew starting we weren... read more

alright 13.1 mi 02:29 11:20 pace
I loved this course, and it was probably one of my favorite HM experiences. Big thanks to Linda and Sarah for pacing me for the first seven miles or so. We went out faster than I would have if I&... read more

great 5.09 mi 00:54 10:36 pace
4:1 ratio once again on my typical 5 mile route. I'm still 4 minutes off of my best 5 mile time, so I will continue to work on getting faster before my next 5 mile races in October and November!

RUN
great Farmington Canal Heritage Trail 5 mi 00:57 11:19 pace
4:1 run/walk ratio. 11:19 min/mile average. I stepped up from my usual 3:1 ratio and felt great throughout! Will probably attempt to push the 4:1 for one of my half marathons this weekend.
