Wanna Fartlek?: August 2008
http://wannafartlek.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Training to Qualify for the Boston Marathon. at Some Point. Monday, August 25, 2008. Well folks. folk is probably more accurate at this point. it's about 15 weeks out from Vegas '08. I just finished a 32 mile week, capped off by a 14 mile long run that I ran at an 8:32 pace. That's pretty slow for me now. Last week's 11-miler was run at a leisurely 7:50 pace. My easy runs are generally in the 7:40 range. Wednesday, August 13, 2008. The Blog is BACK. who am I kidding? I really need some sort of weight ove...

Wanna Fartlek?: August 2007
http://wannafartlek.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Training to Qualify for the Boston Marathon. at Some Point. Thursday, August 30, 2007. Log #32: Jet Lagged BIG TIME. Do these sound like ideal conditions? It's not surprising that my run kind of sucked. I had no energy, even Red Bull couldn't wake me up. I managed 6 out of 7 miles I wanted to do, and I was definitely slower than I should have been. It's very hard to judge what my splits actually were, since the treadmill worked in kilometers, but I'd guess I did something like this for splits:. I stay up...

Wanna Fartlek?: The Blog is BACK!!!
http://wannafartlek.blogspot.com/2008/02/blog-is-back.html
Training to Qualify for the Boston Marathon. at Some Point. Wednesday, February 6, 2008. The Blog is BACK! Life and other miscellaneous annoyances have caused me to fall out of touch with my beloved blog. I am going to attempt to get back into the habit of posting. Why the massive increase in mileage? My long-term goal is to run a 3:10 marathon and qualify for Boston. Just how "long-term" this goal is hasn't really become apparent yet. I'm guessing that, at the bare minimum, it will take me 2 ful...So th...

Wanna Fartlek?: October 2007
http://wannafartlek.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Training to Qualify for the Boston Marathon. at Some Point. Monday, October 29, 2007. Log #53: Forgetting to knock on wood. Those damn running gods. They toy with me. I decided to run my 20 miler on Saturday since Sunday was my girlfriend's birthday and I didn't want to inconvenience her on that day. I had a horrible week of sleeping, so I was expecting this run to be tough, but I was definitely overly optimistic. Friday, October 26, 2007. Log #52: Kickin' Ass. 1 mile @ 8:30. 5 miles @ 7:29. 1 mile @ 8:22.

Training to Qualify for the Boston Marathon. at Some Point. Friday, November 30, 2007. I'm in Vegas. I have my number. My next post will be after the marathon. Mandalay Bay is large. Slot machines are stupid. Wednesday, November 28, 2007. T-3: This Is It! Oh man I have the friggin' jitters! The marathon is Sunday. this Sunday. I'm going to wake up tomorrow, pack my stuff, and go to Vegas for the marathon. 5 x 400m @ 1:35. I decided that since this would be my last speed lap for a while, and I really want...

Training to Qualify for the Boston Marathon. at Some Point. Wednesday, August 13, 2008. The Blog is BACK. who am I kidding? Not that anyone will see this post, but I feel like updating my blog. Here's what's happened since my last post:. I've been working with a running coach at the Boston Running Center. He's had me on a training program since January. I've been logging an average of 28 miles a week, with a high of 36 miles. My running has improved tremendously. How about a new desk chair? I read your p...

Wanna Fartlek?: 3:46... I'll take it!!!
http://wannafartlek.blogspot.com/2007/12/346-ill-take-it.html
Training to Qualify for the Boston Marathon. at Some Point. Sunday, December 2, 2007. 3:46 I'll take it! I ran a 3:46. I'll go into detail about it a little later, but I am THRILLED with that time even though it's not the 3:30 I was hoping for. It's still a new PR, and I am very, very excited to be well into the sub-4's now. My little brother ran a 4:20, and looked AWESOME at the finish line. CONGRATULATIONS on a new PR! I'm looking forward to your recount of the marathon. :). December 3, 2007 at 8:07 AM.

Wanna Fartlek?: Back on the Horse.
http://wannafartlek.blogspot.com/2007/12/back-on-horse.html
Training to Qualify for the Boston Marathon. at Some Point. Wednesday, December 12, 2007. Back on the Horse. I ran today for the first time since the marathon. Nothing fancy, just 3 miles at a leisurely pace on the treadmill. My legs aren't sore at all, but they're definitely still recovering. I ran about an 8:20 pace overall, and my legs started to tighten up so I stopped at that point and stretched. My lungs felt fine, but the legs were too tight and sleepy to go much more. Back on the Horse.
