Iron Horse Half - Here I Come

This morning began a 9 week training program to the Iron Horse Half Marathon on May 31st.  4 miles easy this morning.  Assuming I make it through this race relatively injury free, I will register for the Hartford Marathon (run in October).  I’m ready to make the leap (I think).

Beautiful Midday Run

I run in the mornings.  Up at 5am, out the door before 6.  At best, during the summer, it’s light out with the sun just coming up.  I’m also from the Northeast where the average run-time temperature from December through February hovers somewhere around 20 (although this year I think that average was closer to [...]

Scooter to School

Well, my boys scootered while I walked along behind them.  Spring has officially arrived when Dad lets them take their scooters (the human-powered Razor scooters) on our walk to school.  New twist this spring is that the boys have to carry their own backpacks while scootering (up to now I’d carry them when the scootered; [...]

Friday 5

Keeping with the easy theme and the nagging injuries seem to be healing.  I’m still a bit concerned about my knee.  No real pain, but it feels a little “loose” when I finish up.  It will be interesting to see what happens when I ramp up my training next week.

No Mt. Washington Road Race for Me

The lottery results for entry into the Mt. Washington Road race were posted today and unfortunately my friend and I were not selected.  I am surprisingly much more disappointed than I thought I’d be.  Leading up to the lottery results I had mixed feelings on whether or not I truly wanted to get in or [...]

Easy 5 Again

Cold this morning - not single digits bitter, but colder than I want it in late March.  Warmer temps are on their way; I just need to hang in there.
I developed my 9 week half marathon training plan yesterday and am ready to start on Monday.  The training log for this week will be low [...]

Walk to/from the Book Fair

Aaaah, I love the book fair.  First, it brings back wonderful memories of my childhood - getting a coveted book or two and reading and re-reading it (and re-reading it again).  Second, to see my boys getting the same thrill and excitement I used to…well, it makes a papa proud.
