  1. RUN
    good Zap 4.6 mi 00:42 09:09 pace

    By the time I felt comfortable, the run was over. Glad to finally get in a run after a few days off with not feeling good. Should be in a good state mentally and physically by Sunday for the Clevel... read more

  2. FIT
    push-ups, sit-ups

    Took another day off running so I could focus on getting to 100% for the Cleveland Half. Feeling much better this evening than I have in several days, so everything is looking good. Simple core ton... read more

  3. VELO
    Bike 5.2 mi 00:34 9.1mph pace

    Just an easy little ride.

  4. RUN
    good Longish run 8.1 mi 01:13 08:58 pace

    Feeling very indifferent about this one. Fighting a minor cough led me to cutting this a bit short so I can focus on getting back to 100% for the Cleveland Half. Overall effort felt good though for... read more

  5. RUN
    good Easy 4.2 mi 00:39 09:17 pace

    Haven't felt well for a couple of days, so I cut short what was planned so I could get to the weekend in one piece.

  6. RUN
    good 5.8 mi 00:53 09:06 pace

    Included 5 X 3 minutes that were supposed to be half marathon pace - had paces of 7:36, 7:56, 7:46, 7:42, 7:31. I felt a bit sluggish today, but the effort for all felt fairly even -- second one I ... read more

  7. FIT

    Tired legs today, so I'm needing to rearrange some of my mid-week running schedule. Opted for a brief core workout tonight with plans of getting up for an early morning run.

  8. RUN
    good ztz 6.5 mi 01:01 09:22 pace

    This may be the most I've ever run the day after a race. It was difficult and tiring, yet very satisfying. I'm figuring out that being on coach Caleb M.'s Team Wicked Bonkproof is not only a physic... read more

  9. Shared Photo

    Great to catch up with Jeremy G. (left photo) and Chris N. (right) today at the Carytown 10k. I've known Jeremy for more than 10 years, well before either of us were running. I've known Chris for a... read more

  10. RUN
    great Carytown 10k 6.2 mi 00:46 07:23 pace

    10k PR by more than 2 minutes. Feeling the best I ever have. Ready for the Cleveland Half in 2 weeks.

  11. RUN
    good Shakeout? 2.5 mi 00:23 09:19 pace

    It's so humid that it wasn't worth my energy to run more.

  12. RUN
    good a.m. 4.8 mi 00:42 08:50 pace

    A bit of a struggle with some stomach issues, but I definitely feel ready for the 10k this weekend.

  14. RUN
    good better late than never 6.8 mi 01:03 09:15 pace

    Good or bad, I don't know. I'm just glad to finally get in a full coach Caleb M. workout after a crazy start to my week.

      Good job getting out there- when the week throws a ton of curve balls, it's so gratifying to adapt and still get your work outs in.

  15. RUN
    good "very" easy 2.3 mi 00:23 10:00 pace

    I was all prepared to kick off the week doing as the plan told me (60 minutes "very easy"), but my son decided to join us in the bed last night. I opted for more sleep and turned my alarm... read more

      I totally agree- if I miss a Monday morning work out, the rest of the week is harder to maintain. Also I know myself and know that I won't make up for it in the afternoon, I'm a morning person. Great job getting out there!

      You need sleep so I agree with you! Life happens and we have to do what we can fit in sometimes. 

  16. A brief assessment of my first 3 weeks with Coach Caleb M. -> http://www.runningbecauseican.com/assessing-my-coach/ <- Don't worry, it's all good.

      Thanks! This coming weekend should be a good one with the 10k, and you're well on the way to having a great half a few weeks later.

      Thanks Caleb. Really looking forward to the 10k; it's been more than a year since I really "raced" one.
