http://runner4life-seekimirun.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
It's Now or Never. Sunday, May 18, 2014. It's beginning to look a lot like marathon training. Very pretty country down there, Marshall pre-race. 20 mile long run. Two days later we backed the above workout up with 3 x 3 mile. Also taken place on the Frisco trail. Can you tell we love this trail? I wanted to run this workout with guns a-blazin', but Marshall assured me that we should taper it down since it was going to be 9 hard miles. Splits ended up being:. Weekly Review (5/5 - 5/11). 17 mile long run.

A Runner's Tale: March 2011
http://irun-michael.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Although I can recall my first jaunt like it was yesterday, spring 1990, it wasn't until 2004 that running became something verging on obsession. Life has changed immeasurably since that inaugural step; yet I still welcome that carnival of pain, loving each and every stride. Monday, March 28. Tuesday, March 22. Although I had great hand-eye coordination and stamina, my play making ability was left rather lacking. To make up for this shortfall, I would doggedly hound the other players, ultimately forc...

Although I can recall my first jaunt like it was yesterday, spring 1990, it wasn't until 2004 that running became something verging on obsession.

Read the latest news about distance running in the Asia Pacific region. Saturday, December 02, 2006. The Greatest Athletic Event.
