Well, I'm TRYING to run...: It's all in the mind (the mental flexibility of the successful runner)

Well, I'm TRYING to run. A "journey" involving running in place in the deep end. Quite possibly I've gone off the deep end. Thursday, June 30, 2011. It's all in the mind (the mental flexibility of the successful runner). I spend a fair amount of time on the letsrun message forums, and one point that comes up repeatedly is the concept of "two types of runners." You can read the entire thread here. These runners are rarely at the very front of the pack, but they are completely happy with that - their prior...

ontoBQ: San Juan Solstice Race Report – 2015
http://ontobq.blogspot.com/2015/07/san-juan-solstice-race-report-2015.html
No Politics - No Religion - unless you count running, because right now that's my focus. Wednesday, July 8, 2015. San Juan Solstice Race Report – 2015. I asked the magic 8 ball again how I’d do at SJS and this is what I got:. I figure if it predicted QR accurately then why not use it to find out about this race. I guess I’ll stop using it once it gives a negative response to something or my performance doesn’t mirror the prediction. I was hopeful I would/could recover and we’d just play it by ear. This r...

No Politics - No Religion - unless you count running, because right now that's my focus. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Cheyenne Mountain 50k 2015 Race Report. This past Saturday I ran the Cheyenne 50k in Colorado Springs. It's a smaller race, and the first time I've run it. It's a two loop race through Cheyenne Mountain State Park purely on single track except for the first maybe tenth of a mile from the start. I saw the boys again going out for the second portion of the loop and they gave me an idea as to wh...

ontoBQ: December 2014

No Politics - No Religion - unless you count running, because right now that's my focus. Saturday, December 20, 2014. Three Maffetone Tests and the Santa Stampede 10k Race Report. So the fall/almost winter running has started – and along with that comes a return to utilizing the Maffetone Method as well as snow running and the Winter Distance Series. With all of that this could be a long post, but I’ll try and keep it to the most important points:. The diet – well that’s always a work in proc...I’v...

No Politics - No Religion - unless you count running, because right now that's my focus. Tuesday, June 16, 2015. Quad Rock 50 2015 – Race Report. Sunday was the rescheduled Quad Rock race – it was cancelled on the original date because the area had a ton of rain and the park didn’t believe it was in the best interest of the trails to hold it. I have no issue with that, and outside of feeling completely lost for the weeks afterwards and leading up to the race in regards to my training,. But I had faith in...

ontoBQ: How My Dog is Teaching Me to Run Downhill and Other thoughts on the Late Half of My Season
http://ontobq.blogspot.com/2015/08/how-my-dog-is-teaching-me-to-run.html
No Politics - No Religion - unless you count running, because right now that's my focus. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. How My Dog is Teaching Me to Run Downhill and Other thoughts on the Late Half of My Season. For a while after SJS I had a bit of a lull training wise – even though technically my season isn’t over until September. It’s called being tired – no more no less. Listen to your body and run (or not) accordingly. For the better part of the past two months we have been somewhere almost every weekend:.

Well, I'm TRYING to run. A "journey" involving running in place in the deep end. Quite possibly I've gone off the deep end. Monday, July 27, 2015. Training log - Week ending 7/26/2015. This week was 70 miles of running, 11 "miles" of pool-running and 4000 yards of swimming - training log is here. Yoga, some upperbody strengthwork and injury prevention work, and 5 "miles" easy pool-running in the morning; 2 "miles" easy pool-running and foam rolling at night. 55 miles very easy (9:23), followed by a yoga ...

Well, I'm TRYING to run. A "journey" involving running in place in the deep end. Quite possibly I've gone off the deep end. Monday, August 31, 2015. Training log - Week ending 8/30/2015. This week was 81.5 miles of running, 17 "miles" of pool-running and 4000 yards of swimming - training log is here. Good week, so yay. This is my second week at 80-ish miles; next week is a cut-back, since I'm racing a 5K. Then another high week at 80-85 before racing a tune-up half. Gave me a framed version of this photo,.

Well, I'm TRYING to run...: Training by stones and pebbles
http://wellimtryingtorun.blogspot.com/2011/04/training-by-stones-and-pebbles.html
Well, I'm TRYING to run. A "journey" involving running in place in the deep end. Quite possibly I've gone off the deep end. Friday, April 15, 2011. Training by stones and pebbles. The start to my racing career is pretty simple. I ran the Lawyers Have Heart 10K in 2007. Had to walk. Then I decided to run a 5K a month later because I could probably finish that without walking. Ran the Cure Autism Now 5K. Walked twice. The training log becomes a bucket list. And bucket lists are silly things that make p...
