Chronicling my athletic adventures. Friday, November 12, 2010. Nov 2 - 14. Boy, was I sore after that aggressively paced 20 miler on Sunday! Tuesday: I was having a tough week at work, and I was exhausted (residual jet lag? And I showed up at the track honestly wanting to just go home without running. I spent most of the warmup mile thinking about skipping the workout, but I didn't let myself off the hook. Goal: 1 mi wu, 3000m @ 6:45, 2000m @ 6:26, 1000m @ 6:12, 800m @ 5:58, 1 mi cd.

Pushing the Limits: December 2009
http://whodamannow.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Chronicling my athletic adventures. Wednesday, December 30, 2009. December 28 - January 2. Monday: I took the day off and watched some football. I spent 4 hours in the airport on Sunday, and then another several hours on the plane, and by the time I disembarked in Houston, one of my knees was hurting quite a bit. I guess running a 22 miler and taking a long flight in the same day is probably not ideal. Plan: 1 mi easy, 2000m @ 6:45, 1mi 6:26, 1000m @ 6:12, 800 @ 5:58, 1 mi easy. Ate a late Christmas lunc...

Chronicling my athletic adventures. Sunday, January 17, 2010. Houston 2010 will be my 10th marathon since I ran my first marathon at Houston 2006 (not counting 3 Ironmans and 3 50k's), and this will be my 4th time running Houston (I ran the Houston 1/2 marathon in 2009, injured- not a great idea). I like this race. 45 degrees at race start, warming up to mid 50's by noon. Woke up at 4:45 am. I had 2 bowls of cereal before leaving the house (breakfast of champions! Tuesday, Jan 5:. Speedwork on a treadmil...

Chronicling my athletic adventures. Sunday, October 24, 2010. Oct 18 - 24 (Aftermath). Monday: HRTC Beerathlon (chug a beer, run a mile, chug a beer, run a mile, chug a beer). Averaged 6:10 min/mi, even counting the beer chug in the middle. My right calf was hurting noticeably afterwards, so I decided to take Tuesday off. Since I had a 1/2 marathon coming up on Sunday, I wanted to give myself some chance at recovery. Goal: 1mi wu, 6.5mi @ 6:45, 1mi cd. Rode the bike at lunch with my Thursday group (didn'...

Pushing the Limits: September 2009
http://whodamannow.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Chronicling my athletic adventures. Tuesday, September 15, 2009. I am officially tapering for the upcoming weekend's Half Ironman! Can you say acromioclavicular separation? So, several weeks after my injury, an update:. Usually it requires at least a full week off from swimming for the pain to subside. It's essentially due to inflammation in the bursa(e) that separate the scapula from the rib cage. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
