| Member Since: Nov 01, 2010 Gender: Male Goal Type: Boston Qualifier Running Accomplishments: Best Post High School 5K (Nate Bruckenthal Memorial 2011): 20:28 Best half marathon (Maryland Half Marathon 2011): 1:38:02 Best 20 Miler (NCR Trail 2010): 2:34:43 First (and so far only) marathon (Baltimore 2010): 3:39:48 (nursing an overuse injury) Short-Term Running Goals: I think I have a shot at qualifying for Boston if I put in the time, train for strength and speed, and avoid injury. With the new times that may be only a distant dream. Running is about becoming a better person and not just qualifying for Boston. Long-Term Running Goals: Keep running as a part of my fitness routine after I do 4 or 5 marathons Personal: Married with 3 boys College professor by day (and night a lot of times) My best event was the mile in high school (two decades+ ago) Blogged about the spiritual nature of my first marathon (http://p-s-wellbeing.blogspot.com) Wrote a book called The Radical Transformation of Runner 1313--all profits go to charity |

Today, I really felt the difference between recovery miles (yesterday) and maintenance miles (today). The answer in this case, about 40 seconds per mile. This simple 3 mile run was done in 8:21's. Nice comfortable pace. Water pre-run

Tonight's three miles were completely different. THis was 6x800 doing partner 800's. My partner's first four were fine. He didn't keep up the last two so well, although he tried. Coach said I should continue to focus on my own needs, which I did. I ran 3:15, 3:19, 3:10, 3:10, 3:15, 3:01. The only one that was really "off" was the second 3:15. 2 donuts
Coffee
Diet pepsi
Yogurt and granola
Caprese sandwich

Today was the first tempo run I did this marathon training season. Began and ended up half miles run at a slower than 9:00 pace. However, the four in between were run in 7:09, 7:08, 7:02, 6:55. I have not lost anything since the end of half marathon training. This is looking good as long as I can stay uninjured moving toward October...

Today's 14, were run at NCR starting at 5:30 AM. It was a wonderfully pleasant time for a run. I ran with Judith. It was her first 14. She did a great job, although slowed at the end. Her comment: "Running 14 is twice as hard as running 12." All I know is that I've gone from blogging about my first 15 a year ago to where I can talk about an "easy" 14. We ran it in 2:02:18 or an 8:44 pace. Nothing shabby about that. Three slow miles to open up, 9 miles at sub-8:40 then 8:48 and two just a bit over 9. It was a lot of fund. I did nap in the car on the drive to the family vacation after running 14. Electrolyte beverage
