I had intended on getting a run in on the old beast of a treadmill in my garage since the roads were covered with snow, but after a few back jarring skips of the tread belt, I opted not to get injured on a treadmill. The next 5.35 were run on hard pack with my Inov8 295 trail shoes. They served their purpose. 7:53 avg.

These were my first miles as a Master's runner. Today is also the first day that my BQ qualifying time moves from a 3:10 to a 3:15. If I can't shave a minute and a half off of my marathon PR then something is wrong. Will my third marathon be the charm? Only time will tell.....

My Garmin strap totally disintegrated this morning..... bummer. I ran with the old K-Mart special which cost under ten bucks. I mapped out the run when I got back to my desk and my pace per mile equated to a 6:49 avg. It felt nice not looking at the watch all the time and just listening to what my body was telling me.

In the trails with lots of snow. I took a big digger in Pratts Brook Conservation land..... trying to brake as I was coming down a steep decline. There was a sheet of ice underneath the powder and next thing I know I'm looking up at the canopy of trees with the snow falling heavily between them. BOOM..... elbows & butt first. That woke me up :) Really slow & good workout. 8:57 avg.

It was raining up until 11:30am, so I thought my lunchtime jaunt was to be on the mill. The rain stopped just in time and I was able to squeeze this run in. I should probably take a shower now that it's 7:30pm and my lower legs are still covered in dried road grime. 7:13 avg.

I started out at 8:00 for the first mile and then gradually dropped down from 7:47-7:30 for the next mile. The next three miles were a 6:58 tempo, and the three after that were a 6:40 tempo. Mile nine was a 6:18 & mile ten was back up to a 7 ish pace. I didn't plan on this workout, but the woman next to me was definitely racing...... thanks lady!

I ended up pushing to hard per usual on my 15 miler yesterday and was rewarded with a sore left groin. So, the thought for todays jaunt was take it slow and easy. Here's how the run played out...... at approximately .67 miles into the run, I see a thin guy moving at a good clip coming towards me. Low & behold Kris Depew. (my speedy friend) I immediately bang a U-turn and ask what his plans are for his run..... "just a 4 mile tempo" he responds. My next question is what kind of pace he's looking at, "about a 6:40 pace" he says. Perfect, do you mind if I join you? It turned out to be a great tempo, and I feel fine, but it really wasn't the smartest move on my part. I can be a real knucklehead some times :)
Total time for the full run 41:18.

Beat up from the feet up. Like a dummy, around mile 10, I saw a guy ahead of me and just had to catch him. Turns out that is was the same dude that beat me by 9 seconds in the half marathon I ran last year. He is actually a really nice guy and will be running Boston this year...... qualified with a 3:05.

Snow was much deeper and the footing was tough. I used my Inov8 Roclite 295 with the knobby tread.

It was nice to have some cleared pavement today. Right before the mile 7 beep on my Garmin, a dog wanted to bite me...... the bugger came real close in fact. I had to come to a dead stop and apologized to the owner, even though I gave him fair warning. You would think that a couple of loud coughs and throat clearings would have done the trick. 7:08 avg.

My wife decided that she wanted to go to the gym this morning @ 4:30 am. Side by side treadmill running. 7:30 avg.
4.18 miles @ lunch
I walked into the gym and all the treadmills (6 of them) were occupado. Damn! I jumped on an Eliptical just to get my legs moving and watch the mills like a hawk. About 10 minute passed and one freed up. Short stint..... oh well. 7:13 avg.

Treadmill. 7:08 avg. I could have run outside, but things are so messy and snow covered, that I would have been running in the breakdown lanes. Not the safest or driest place to be.
PM - snow shoveling.
Later PM - Dinner with my family at Crossroads in Acton. I run, so I eat. Appetizers, beer & drinks & dinner. Of course I over did it..... I always do. I'm a fat man stuck in a normal man's body.

Outside in the light rain. My stride felt a little clunky the first couple of miles and my calves were tight for some reason. Maybe all of the recent treadmill miles have weakened my stabilizing muscles? Felt good to be in the outdoors. 7:15 avg.

I thought that I'd see if the trails were packed down around Mirror Lake...... they weren't. I fell on my back and side when I entered the icy downhill slope of the parking lot and then proceeded to post hole for the next mile or so. Only an idiot could understand. 8:15 avg.

This would be my second cold run of the day. I donned the headlamp and hit the streets. South Acton with a quick turn around in Stow and back to South Acton. 7:33 avg.

I had a great day today. My wife woke me up when I heard her yelling, "There are two coyotes in the back woods!" Sure enough, I jumped out of bed and looked out the kitchen window and there were two very healthy coyotes walking through the woods. I love that stuff.
After my wife went for her walk, we ended up visiting my mother-in-law in West Townsend MA which is a stones throw from the NH border. I looked at google maps and figured out a good 20 mile route with some nice climbs and descents. This route didn't disappoint..... my quads are absolutely trashed from the downs :) 7:49 avg.

It hit the 30 degree mark today at noon. I was able to wear shorts, but still needed a hat, spring gloves and sufficient layers up top. The day off yesterday brought some life back to my legs along with a right hamstring rub from my wife. I gave her a back rub in return...... our relationship is not a one way street.
Anyways, on to the run. I really felt good but decided that I would take it nice & easy due to the little niggles here and there. I wore the K-Mart special watch and thus didn't have the beep every mile to remind me of my pace. I figured with the effort level and ease of the run, I was probably running a 7:45 pace or so. I was pleasantly surprised after mapping out the route and calculating the pace that I was actually moving at a 7:19 avg. Rest days and shorts must be the reason. Some runs turn out good and some not so good. Wisdom....

Before I was ready to run, my wife said to me, "I have a towel load to do, so you should go take a run, that way I can wash your towel as well". That got me moving although my stomach was feeling a little queasy over the past 24hrs. I laced them up anyways, and about two miles in I almost "sharted" my shorts. I immediately started to think about where the closest public bathroom was..... fortunately TJ MAXX was only a mile away. I did the clenched cheek shuffle until I was able to speed walk through the aisles to get to the bathroom. Just like TJ's slogan, I gave them the MAXX for the minimum today :)
That was my excitement for the day, 7:20 avg.

I met up with Tom K. and his family down at Lewis Wharf in Boston. Tom's wife found the coolest place for them all to stay..... a house boat in the harbor! I have to say, Tom is blessed with a great wife and two very personable boys.
We ran along the docks and over a bridge for a total of 24:50. A perfect shake out for Tom before the biggest race of his life! We then proceeded down to the Hynes Convention Center for the Expo and race packet pick up. Along the way we passed the Boston Common & Public Gardens where the buses will take the runners to the start in Hopkinton. Tom was as chill as a dude can be before a huge race..... impressive. I think things started to sink in a bit as we were approaching and continued to cross the actual finish line. Everything was in place and there was an excitement in the air.
Good luck to everyone running tomorrow. I'll be at mile 19 on the runner's right screaming my head off!

| This turned out to be a pretty good run.
My wife had convinced me that it was a good idea to rent a hotel room about 200 meters from the starting line. Having never done this before and always driving to a race the morning of, I thought why not? Being able to have a good nights sleep and ample time to get ready in the morning could only help. Saturday afternoon my wife, girls and I packed up the car and made the drive down to Providence RI. We made it to the Rhode Island Convention center at 4 pm which gave me an hour to pick up my bib and gear bag. At first, I couldn't find the expo because there was a HUGE cheerleading competition going on. Thousands of young girls with sparkly makeup plastered on their faces..... it was like a bad dream. Little did I know, that these same cheerleaders would be putting a major wrench in my race preparation. With race bag in hand, we signed in at the front desk of the Omni Hotel and made our way up to the 12th floor. The room was nice and clean and I was starting to get really excited. My 10 & 8 yr old ladies were more interested in checking out the indoor pool than anything else. After a quick recon of the pool area, we decided to find a place to eat...... now that's what I'm talking about! We probably put a good two miles on our legs before we decided on Joe's American Bar & Grille. I was looking for pasta, but decided on a burger and sweet potato fries. My wife ordered the Chicken Piccata and the little ladies both got the "Famous" Joe's baked mac & Cheese. Knowing that they both wouldn't finish their meals, my carbs were eagerly awaiting me. My nickname is "Daddy Glutton".
Back to the room and stuffed to the gills, my girls invaded the pool area as my wife and I watched from the pool furniture. After about an hour or so, we headed back to the room. I prepared all of my gear and nutrition for the next day and settled into bed at about 10pm. That's when I heard the first foot falls and giggling of young cheerleaders out in the hallway...... you have to be kidding me? This continued off and on for the next couple of hours. My wife actually jumped out of bed at one point as if to go in the hall and mass murder 20 young girls, but I calmed her down and called the front desk. "Yes hello, I'm on the 12th floor in room 1213 and...... I was cut off right there. The front desk girl said, "Yes the noise on floor twelve, we have received numerous calls and security is headed up right now." Thank God...... my wife didn't have to kill anyone and my girls will have their mother around for at least a few more weeks :) Anyways, the security only marginally helped and the noise finally abated around 1 AM. Not the restful hotel room I was expecting.
On to the race...... Once again, I would be running this race with Jim, my co-worker and friend. After eating some oatmeal, a banana an half a bagel, I was feeling good. I had bought some GU's at the expo and was ready to roll. Jim and I made our way as close to the start as we could, set our watches and BOOM!!!! We were off. Jim took off like he was running a half and I kept with him. I knew that we would be slowing after the initial excitement of the first mile. We slowed down to where I wanted to be (pace wise), and ran the next five miles together. After a while, Jim turned to me and said that he thought that he was working to hard and needed to scale it back a bit. I separated from Jim, and all of a sudden the 3:15 pacer and his crew pulled up next to me. Mentally this gave me a little scare.... even though I knew that they were ahead of their 3:15 pace. I ended up pushing ahead of them in defiance to make myself feel better. In doing so, I felt comfortable and strong. This was a good early sign, as I never saw them again...... pheww. The weather was ideal, sunny and in the 50's. There was quite a bit of gusty wind in spots, especially along the water, but I've run in worse. No excuses today. At one point, I had a mini-battle with another marathoner as he wasn't willing to let me pass him. This ended up being fine as it took my mind off the pain of the second half of the race. Eventually he slowed and I passed only to have him catch me a couple of miles later. We yo-yo'ed like this for a while until the youngster (probably late 20's) fell off pace for good on a section of bike path. See you later sucka! The course was sprinkled with great support, including a guy that had a huge sound system in his front driveway blaring the theme music from "Rocky". This was a nice touch, and kept me positive for the remaining miles. I could bore everyone with a million more details, but basically I felt in control until mile 23 when the first signs of a wall reared it's head. Nothing like my two first experiences with the wall, but I noticeably slowed in the last 3 miles. I found another gear for the final stretch and cheesed it up by pumping my fist and holding my pointer finger in the air. The hell with it though, I was BQing and I wanted to PARTY!!!!!!

Mini workout that kicked my butt. 2.25 mile warm up down to the grass track in Fort Devens. On Google maps I could clearly see where the track was worn down, but being Spring time, everything was filled in and indiscernible. I was thinking of copying a Slowjoe workout from last week. 800's with 2 minutes rest. Needless to say, I am a newbie concerning these kinds of workouts and I didn't realize what I was in for. I intended on five intervals but could only muster four.... fail. (2:55, 2:43, 2:43, 2:40) Wow, that was tough. 1.6 miles back to work.
My work is circled in red and the grass track has the arrow next to it:
Closer up:
This next one is the real track that I should run to (about 3ish miles from work). It's a beautiful orange/red rubberized track..... I love it. My work is circled again and the track has the arrow.

I met up with Kris a mile from my house and about a mile and change from his house. The run consisted of some roads, but mostly rail trail. It was nice running on some new terrain. I'll definitely add it to the routes I run. Kris took a good digger crossing the tracks at one point, but he bounced up quick like a Master runner should :)

I ran tonight with Kris at the School Street Soccer fields. Both of our daughters were trying out for the town's travel soccer team. I did a warm up loop by myself, and then ran 3 loops with Kris. We then broke into the speed portion of the workout where he would lead an 800 and then we would actively recover for a minute. I would lead the next 800 and we would switch back and forth for a total of 6 reps. I was dying on the last one. Good stuff.

The Great Lincoln Steeplechase (6.7 Miles) 00:46:17, Place overall: 7 | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 8.05 | 0.00 | 8.05 |
| My first ever trail race. Tons of fun.
I have had the Great Lincoln Steeplechase on my radar for a couple of years now. It's not really a "Steeplechase", but more of a play on words since this trail race starts in a Church parking lot. There ended up being about 70 entrants for the 2014 race. I thought that my buddy Kris was going to run, but the stars didn't align for him and he couldn't make it. Anyways, I wasn't feeling very competitive and thought that I might just make this a 6.7 mile trail jaunt instead of a race. The temps were in the low 80's with some good humidity and my excuses for not wanting to run hard were adding up. I saw some young cross-country guys and some very fit looking older dudes in the parking lot. I heard one of the older dudes say that he was looking to run about 48 minutes. Perfect..... I knew who I would be following for the beginning of the race.
Right from the start, a pack of fifteen runners took the race out hard. I was content to stick with Frank, as I would learn his name from people cheering along the course. Frank took us through the first mile in under 7 minutes. He was right on track. I then felt him slowing and passed him on the biggest climb on the course, "The Stairway to Heaven". There were actually railroad ties set into the side of this hill acting as a sort of staircase. Once at the top, I ended up catching two young guys and hung with them for a bit. I could tell that these guys were struggling and pushed ahead. Right after the pass there was a rooty, rocky bomber of a downhill. It was the type of hill that was so steep and long, that I was windmilling my arms on the way down riding the edge of out of control. I made it to the bottom unscathed and was rewarded with some flat smooth single track. I rolled through this section in no man's land for a mile or two. After what seemed like a long time alone, I was able to see another runner far down a long straight stretch. I had my rabbit! I reeled the shirtless man in after a half mile or so and passed him just as we came out of the woods and onto the sidewalk for the last .7 mile stretch. It felt good to be on familiar ground, and I was able to drop the pace to 5:59 and come real close to catching the 6th place runner. He beat me by three seconds. Not enough real-estate left for me to get him. I know what he looks like...... next year. 6:54 avg.

This was supposed to be a Track workout, but I misjudged the driving distance to the track.
I did a two mile warm-up and then wanted to do 4-6 800's. I only had time for two with an active 400m recovery after each. Oh well, I'll have to find a better time to do this kind of workout.

Running the Loon Mountain race tomorrow in Lincoln NH. It should be quite the punishment. The last kilometer of the race is up a 40% grade. The name of that section is "Upper Walking Boss". I'll be power hiking that one.... and crying. Lots of big mountain runners will be there as it's the USATF Mountain running championship & Collegiate Mountain running championship.

This is a picture of Eric Blake & Zach Miller. You really get a good sense for how steep UPPER WALKING BOSS is. Eric in the gray ended up finishing 3rd and Zach ended up in 4th...... top six make the US Mountain running team and go to Italy in September to race for the USA!
This race chewed me up and spit me out..... Halfway through, I vowed that I would never run it again. Of course when it was over, I was thinking about next year. Here's a picture of me on the final down before the UPPER WALKING BOSS.
Then bring the pain. This section which is about one kilometer long, took me 21 minutes to power hike. UPPER WALKING BOSS..... Brutal.
You mean I have to climb up there????? What the cuss!
One if front of the other..... My quads really hurt.

My friend Kris picked me up at 5:30 am and we drove to Wachusett mountain for some running. The first 3.2 miles on the summit road were a real grind. I was feeling pretty gassed when we reached the top. With the majority of the climbing behind us, we started to descend and ended up taking a wrong turn which brought us to the other side of Wachusett. We back tracked and got back on course. I had a super fun time and would love to do some more exploring of the area. The temperature and views were ideal.

Right at the one mile mark, my calf felt like it was cramping severely. I stopped and tried to stretch it out, but to no avail. With the way it feels just walking, I'm thinking a couple of days off.... at least. Bummer...

| 2.27 miles @ lunch First run since 7/22.... how I've missed you old friend. I kept waiting for something bad to happen within the first .25 but it never did.... thankfully. I can't say that the lower left leg felt completely normal, but it's a good sign that I was able to go a bit more than two miles and stop on my own terms. I plan on slowly working back into it, all the while doing exercises to hopefully keep the injury at bay. 7:24 avg. |

I ran this with my little ladies. It was a combo of road & trails. Maggie was fine and Paige struggled a bit. She seemed to rally when I helped her calm down her breathing though. It also helped when I started asking Paige questions about Minecraft.... it took her mind off of the act of running.

57 degrees and Sunny. After yesterday's day off and today's low temps, I was ready to roll. Fastest opening mile I have had in some time (7:10). I picked it up a bit after that and felt good throughout. 7:01 avg.
After reading Tracy's blog about Caning old men at Volleyball games, I thought that I would write about an experience that I had with a neighbor tonight. This guy thinks it's okay to let his dog piss on my mailbox, piss on the rim of my car and shit in my yard. Granted he carries a doggie poop bag, but still......I don't even own a dog, and if I did, I wouldn't let it deficate in my neighbor's yards. There is plenty of open green space in our neighborhood, including this idiot's own yard! This is the second time I have had to open my door an give this guy the business. The first time was last winter when I noticed him letting his dog do it's thing at the top of our yard where my girls had built their sledding starter ramps. The A-hole gave me attitude when I called him out that time! Anyways, when this family first moved into the neighborhood from Cambridge MA, my wife was talking to her sister on the phone when she noticed their 10yr old daughter running down the street barefoot. She couldn't believe her eyes when the girl took a hard right and proceeded to hike up her dress and crap in our front yard! Really!!!!! C'mon Man! I swear up and down...... true story.
So anyways, yeah..... I'm a little fired up. Maybe I should take my morning duke in their yard before my run. Oh and after my longer runs, write my name in cursive on their front door.

5am.... Running in the rain, just running in the rain, what a glorious feeling, I'm running again.
I met up with Kris Depew at a trailhead just before the Cumberland Farms in Maynard. It was dark and I thought that I got there before him until he came up on my blind side and spooked me. When speaking to Kris yesterday at our respective daughter's travel soccer game, he indicated that he was looking to run 20 miles at a 6:40-6:50 pace for his Sunday long run. No thank you.... I would have to respectively decline. The majority of my miles have fallen around the 8-7:30 average lately and the thought of 20 at sub 7 minutes scared me. (probably because I've never run 20 at sub 7 pace) A couple of hours later Kris texted me to say he was thinking more like 7-7:10 pace.... I was in, but not for the full 20. It ended up being a decent run, but I think the pace would have been more even throughout if we could see better during the early trail miles. We made it back to Kris's house at 12ish miles, I was done and he headed out for 8 more. Kris is entertaining the thought of his first marathon in October and was looking to get a decent effort in. All in all, a fun wet slog. Always good to run with Depew.

| 8.56 miles @ 5am There was a nice mist in the air this morning and the temperature was 55. I had to take my glasses off a couple of times and wipe them on my shirt. Probably about the fourth time I did this, while my glasses were off, a shady character materialized in front of me. If you take into consideration that I'm pretty much blind, when I replaced my spectacles, I let out a war cry when I was about to rub shoulders with this zombie shadow walker. Thanks for the adrenaline dude. 8:28, 7:51, 7:37, 7:39, 7:32, 7:21, 7:16, 7:02, (6:41 last .56) |

I felt some cramping coming on in my left calf near the end of this run. It mimicked the pain I had in the early stage of me injuring it a couple of months back. I immediately backed off of the pace and just monitored it for the last half mile or so. It feels fine a couple of hours later, maybe I was just a bit dehydrated heading into this run? 7:18 avg.

Pretty good run for how awful I felt for the first 3 miles or so. After seeing my brother in law in a hole in the road (he works for an excavating company) and stopping to harass him, the second half of the run was much better. 7:13 avg.
On a side note, one of the Massachussetts State Police barracks is a stones throw from my work. They have been out training their attack German Sheperds for the past few days. Of course, I have run up on these training sessions which have been in three different locations on my past three runs. I slow down to a snails pace to make sure that the Police trainers see me and corral their dogs/killers before I feel comfortable running by them. You should hear those dogs bark in anger as I run by...... frightening.

Since this is the first time I'll be following a marathon training program, I hope to get more consistent and even with my tempo miles. Time will tell.
