This week I’m breaking one of my training rules that I'm always going on about, I’m running the Navy 10k! Racing while training isn’t a great idea because it can take too much out of the tank. I signed up for it thinking I would go for a PR but now I’m not so sure,... Continue Reading →
I don't know about all of you but I'm reaching that point in my training cycle where things are getting, well a bit nuts. Where people ask you what you're doing later and you have to say things like "running 16 km and eating all the carbs." Then they look at you in disbelief, shake... Continue Reading →
I have to admit that I feel a whole lot lighter giving myself a break on Wednesday posts for the next month. That said I didn’t exactly get to training any sooner in the week. Friday: We’ve been working far from home this week and so we’ve been putting in long days to make the... Continue Reading →

Ugg this week!!! Not my strongest training week in the history of training. I need to spend some time seriously thinking about the fact that I want to do this and that means I have to do the work. This week was my birthday and my sister’s birthday which in my defense does make it... Continue Reading →
Running is hard, hard physically and hard mentally especially when you are training for a certain goal distance or pace. It can and does beat up your body a bit, logistically its hard to fit in sometimes and it can play tricks on your head. While all of that stuff is hard it also makes... Continue Reading →
Quick contact the Guinness people I just had the best cross-training day that anyone ever has, period, exclamation point. Get ready for some gushing and I’m going to be a bit extra about it because it was just that good! This week a lot of stuff just came together for me. Not really big things... Continue Reading →
