Nice run with some bushwacking at the end. I went through the woods at about the eighth mile, crossed some power lines trying to not look a deer (hunters) and came out behind some houses on a dead end street to finish the last mile. Good run. |

Nice slow run. I notice that when I run slower, my muscles seem more fatigued? Maybe the longer drawn out motion engages the muscles for a longer period of time? No se. |

My wife Amy has started the Couch to 5k training program. She is by no means a couch potato, but she said that she sees the fastest results (body wise) when she jogs rather than walks. In the past I think that she has been a little over ambitious with running and has strained muscles and thrown her hips out of wack with starting too strong. I think that most people have done the same.
Anyways, we headed to the track yesterday for the first workout..... always fun doing anything with my wife.

We are spending the weekend at my mother's house and my wife packed everything but my running gear........ wicked bumma! Lucky that when she picked me up from work I was wearing my Montrails. Anyways, a quick trip to TJ-MAX to scour the clearance racks and I came away with a sweet pair of Electric Blue Asics shorty shorts!!!! Marshalls & TJ's rule...... $9.99 and I was running in 45' temps this afternoon. |

My wife & I, along with our little ladies are spending the weekend at my mother's house. Of course, as I'm pretending to be interested in conversation that I have no interest in, I'm secretly plotting my morning run.
My wife has to leave for work by 9am & my mother by 9:45....... just enough time for a brisk run. I'll try for some treadmill miles later.....

I felt really good on this one. Faster than a speeding locomotive...... literally. There is a point on this run where I have to cross double railroad tracks and for the first time ever, a train was really close. Needless to say, I went for it and got the attention of the conductor with a blaring train whistle. Just like Superman? You betcha!

GROTON ROAD RACE
Tot-trot: my youngest daughter Paige!
Paige, my youngest daughter was first to run. She's a very competitive 6 year old who does not like to lose. I could see the intensity immediately today when she was overly concerned about the other runners encroaching on her start line position. Paige ran a great race and was hindered by the starting ribbon getting wrapped around her head :( She was the first girl across the finish nonetheless. Great race Paige!
2K with my daughter Maggie! - (1.2 miles)
Last year's race, Maggie went out way too fast and fizzled in the middle a bit with a finishing time of 11:22 or so...... this year she kept it more conservative at the start and shaved off a bunch of time finishing with a 10:33! Way to go Maggie!
5K - 19:08 - 6:10 avg.
I wasn't exactly sure where I was fitness wise before this race, but I'm pleased with the outcome. I definitely had a tiny bit more in the tank, but the effort was very controlled and even.
Splits from my Garmin: 6:09, 6:12, 6:08, 4:37 (last .14) |

Starting to reel 'em in...... exciting! Nice racing Paige!

Maggie in the 2K:
I'm looking down at Maggie and making sure the pace felt right for her.
2162 running smart!
Finishing strong on the track.... Making eye contact with the photographer of course;)

I'm in purple, but the dude in the head-band will not beat me! Ha ha.
Finishing on the track..... not pretty to say the least! 14th place in 19:08.

1 mile @ the same practice - Barefootski
I thought I would give this a go, as my right heel has been bothering me for over a year now. I don't know if it is inflamed Bursa sac in the heel/Bursitis or a heel spur or Plantar Faciitis. Nonetheless, I thought that maybe a little barefoot in the grass might feel good. |

6 miles - treadmill
It's raining like a bugger today in Massachusetts.... relegated to the treadmill.
Highlight of the run was when it was getting hot in the basement and I decided to take my shirt off mid stride. I ended up losing my balance and stepping off the edge of the mill.... being the smart guy that I am tried to regain composure and step back on. I almost got spit off the back of the angry beast, but pulled off some acrobatics and avoided a total yardsale! |

| No time for running today, there was just too much going on. Like my daughter scoring the first THREE goals for her soccer team in the semi-finals of the town tournament! I couldn't have been more proud! Way to go Maggie.... YOU ROCK! She's in 2nd grade and she told me that she wants to play soccer & run track in highschool.... that's my girl! |

1.2 miles with my wife & 12 miles solo -7:45 avg.
My wife completed a mile on the track last weekend, and this morning we decided to hit the road. 2k in the books for Amy! Nice job hon!
I then decided to go out for a semi-long run in the heat of the day. I brought water & a GU with me this time and I was glad that I did. You've got to keep the system lubricated! At mile eight I took some Gu and got some hard pieces along with some regular consistency in the first squeeze? I spit out the chunks and flipped the wrapper upside down for the expiration date. Good until 2010..... there it was, Gross! All in all, a great day.

The weather was amazing at 3:30 am this morning! Ha ha! Perfect for a brisk run. I came home around 4:35 am and to my surprise Amy was willing to go for an early morning 2k! Whoopee!

I was on the road this morning @ 3:30am. Two miles into it I knew that I would be cutting this run short. This Blog post could be titled "Doodie calls or Doodie Falls?" :) Luckily I made it back home and the world was still a safe place.
2.17 miles - 8:28 avg. (A run with my buddy Ryan)
The last time Ryan ran was last summer with me.... we did 3 trail miles on that occasion. He says that he is disgusted with his body and wants to lose the gut. I hope he sticks to the running! |

Happy Father's day to all the Dads out there!
Great run today with Kris an avid runner who lives about a mile from my house. Kris has some great trail runs mapped out in the surrounding towns, so we hooked up for a jaunt. I haven't run with anybody for any significant distance since I started running again a couple of years ago, so I was more than happy for some company! Some great trails that I will definitely be frequenting in the near future. We both took some spills and had some great conversation.

Super early morning run (3:45am) but the temps were perfect. The rustling in the woods and the eyes glowing back at me, didn't seem so perfect. Probably just a deer..... right?

I wasn't able to run today until 8pm. The circumstances of the day just didn't allow it.
I was following my wife around from room to room until she asked "You want to go running don't you?" She knows me too well!

On the road at 3:25am..... kind of getting used to this early morning running. The temps were in the low 60's and I had the streets to myself :) The first couple of miles at this time of day are always a grind/march for me and then my legs wake up and start moving better.

3+ miles walking with my wife - 4:30am
Always enjoyable being outside with Amy. We spooked a deer early on in the walk when we were down by the river, and then saw 3 or 4 rabbits along the route.
The wildlife has been awesome around here lately..... as we were sitting on the screened in porch drinking our morning coffee, Amy spotted a fox running down our street! I sprung up out of my seat just in time to see it duck behind our neighbor's house. Good stuff! |

Happy 4th of July! Rained like a mofo this morning, so I didn't get out until 11:50 am for this one. Hot & Humid.... but it felt great. I even took off my Mizunos after the run and thought I'd ice my feet in the river by my house..... don't ya know the river was warm! Oh well, that's what I get for following blogs based out of the Western part of the United States, there aren't any 11,000 foot mountain streams or lakes around here! Ha ha!

11 miles - 7:41 avg.
I left the house ridiculously early this morning..... 3:11 am. I felt that it was worthwhile in an attempt to beat the heat & humidity that is on tap for the day. I knew that my wife wanted to get a walk in around 5 am as well before starting her workday. I joined her to try and keep things moving after my run.

Legs were tired from yesterdays 11 mile run. I followed that up with a 3 mile walk with my wife, and a 3 mile walk with my girls later in the day. Thus todays 6 miler was a bit of a death march.

After reading on this blog site, that even Jake Krong runs at an 8 min. pace from time to time, I thought to myself.... hey, I can run an 8 min. pace. Even better..... I can run slower than an 8 min. pace! Everything was going according to plan, up until about mile 7 when I couldn't help but pick it up a bit near the end of the run. It didn't help that I saw a runner about 400 yards ahead of me moving at a good clip down River St. There was my carrot! It turns out that she was moving at a very good pace, because I didn't catch her until I was nearing the end of my run about a mile later. I passed her going over a little knoll in the road, and just as I was passing, a police cruiser crested the other side of the blind knoll. I glanced over just as the cop was waving his arms inside his car. My reaction was WTF???? and I proceeded to mimick him and wave my arms back with a similiar nasty look. I thought that I was going to get spoken to, but nothing materialized from the encounter..... good thing for me, because I was definitely rubbed the wrong way! Dirty Copper! Ha ha!

3:30 am wasn't happening this morning. Instead, Amy & I got up at 5:30 and went for a 2.5 mile walk. The air was really thick & soupy. |

Had to stop completely at mile 4. I had crested a hill and saw something crossing the road ahead of me..... it turned out to be a skunk. I slowed down, but I must have spooked it because it got on its front legs, raised it's booty in the air and sprayed before I got too close. Phew.... close call!

8 miles - 7:30 avg. (3:36 am)
Last night, before I went to bed, I checked the forecast for the early hours of the morning. Everything looked ok, with only a 20% chance of precipitation..... perfect.
Since it's been so hot & humid in New England this summer I have been running shirtless in the wee hours of the am. As I stepped out the door, there was a light sprinkle coming down with a nice warm breeze. There's my 20% I thought. I slowly got the old legs moving and started feeling more awake when out from the left side of the road a skunk crossed in front of me about 10 ft. away. The skunk stopped me in my tracks and faced me..... I quickly backed up a few steps (stopping the timer on my Garmin of course) and let the stinky bastard go about his/her stinky business. Situation averted, I moved on. Then, about five miles into the run, the skies opened up and the lightning show began. I cut the intended 10 miler down to 8 and decided I should live to run another day:)

My running has been incredibly sporadic as of late. I have been looking for a new/better job for a couple of months now, and just yesterday was offered a position. I think all the covert ops of trying to keep my current employer in the dark and trying to find time to interview has stressed me out a little. Looking forward to the new job and more consistent running!

My Garmin was way off for the first two miles of this run. The 1st mile beeped much farther out than the usual lap mark & the second mile had me running @ a 6:53 pace, which I was definitely not doing at 4am in the morning. It doesn't really matter though, because running is running and I love to do it!

I was feeling really good today, but the unknown has been weighing on me lately. Going into my first marathon I really have zero strategy. Do I go out slow and assess how I feel a couple of miles in? Do I try and run 26.2 miles at an even consistent pace? I have no idea!
Maybe I should just run and see how it goes..... that would be a novel idea! The only way to really learn is by making mistakes I guess.

I woke up a little sluggish this morning. It rained all day yesterday and just felt raw outside today. At 9am I watched Maggie, my oldest daughter, score two goals in her soccer game! I feel extremely proud and lucky to have two amazingly talented and beautiful children.
Paige loving the new Keyboard!
I liked this shot of Maggie too.

Ran this during the first half of my youngest daughter's soccer practice. When I stopped to watch her practice, the scrimmage began..... perfect timing! Paige played super aggressive tonight and scored the only goal!
There is a contingent of English coaches in our town who spot children with talent and then try to recruit them for an every Friday for a year developmental league. I was approached by one of their scouts about Paige.... later to find out it was $700 and some odd dollars for the camp and $150 for the uniform. Yikes! I might have to work on my English accent and teach her myself!

The fall is the best time to run in my opinion.... beautiful temps and amazing colors on the trees. Autumn running in New England is the best! I meant to go out slow, and it worked for the first mile, but then there were other runners on the road and I just had to catch them :)

My wife saw me walking from room to room and acting antsy while she was taking the groceries out of the bags, and the next question was "You want to go for a run don't you?" I squeezed it in and made it back for dinner with time to spare! She knows me too well:)

Pre-race: I went to bed @ 9pm and fell asleep immediately without any problems. I seem to lose sleep over the shorter distances for some reason. Maybe I slept so well because I had no idea of the pain I would encounter after mile 20 or the eye wincing cramps that would begin after the race had finished. Anyways, 4am arrived quickly and during the course of the next two hours, I showered, put all my gear in order, and double checked everything multiple times. I ate two packages of Maple & Brown Sugar oatmeal and had a cup of freshly ground joe. Looking back now, I'm more than glad I wasn't driving alone to Lowell MA, I would have my wife Amy, our two daughter's Maggie & Paige and my Mother "G" in tow.
At 6:30am we arrived at the Parking garage near the Tsongas Arena...... runners everywhere with an energy & buzz in the air that was palpable! Very exciting.
Blurry.... but you get the idea.
7:50am and it was time to get lined up..... happy now, but I had no idea what was in store.
BOOM.... and we were off!
mile 1 - 7:13 - Keep it under 7:15 just in case I start slipping later in the race.
mile 2 - 7:09 - I like seeing those seconds come off!
mile 3 - 7:04 - Dodging cones and moving with the masses.
mile 4 - 7:03 - I can't believe I'm running a freaking marathon!
mile 5 - 7:03 - What a perfect day for a marathon.... does it get any better?
mile 6 - 7:13 - Hooked up with some young guys and put it in cruise.
mile 7 - 7:05 - Volunteer missed the GU handoff and threw it as I passed? I stopped to pick it up.
mile 8 - 7:11
mile 9 - 7:02 - Marathons don't seem that hard.
mile 10 - 7:06
mile 11 - 7:00 - I'm a machine.
mile 12 - 7:04
mile 13 - 7:08 - I'm going to see my family here, peel off the sleeves throw them in my wife's direction and yell I love you guys! My children yell SCHNITZEL!!!! at me. (Hoodwinked)
mile 14 - 7:08
mile 15 - 7:09
mile 16 - 7:18 - Not psyched to see those seconds slipping, but I still feel okay.
mile 17 - 7:24 - Uh oh.
mile 18 - 7:19
mile 19 - 7:18
mile 20 - 7:24 - Uh oh. Am I not a machine?
mile 21 - 7:52 - Wow these races do get hard after mile 20.
mile 22 - 7:54 - Damn!
mile 23 - 8:21 - How come I can't speed up?
mile 24 - 8:46 - When is this race going to friggin end?
mile 25 - 8:31 - I feel like crap.
mile 26 - 8:57 - Where is the finish line and how come it is so far away?
.2 - 9:02 - Thank God!
All the highs and lows, were totally worth the satisfaction of completing my first marathon! I was undertrained for sure, but plan on fixing that once I can walk normal again :) Blown away by how hard it is to walk up and down stairs. I can't wait to run again and make my goal time of 3:10 flat (BQ for 30-39).

I was walking to my car after work and decided to try and jog a couple of yards to the car.... I'm definitely feeling better, but still not ready to run.
It amazed me in the finishing chute of the marathon that some runners were walking around like they hadn't even run 26.2 miles. I hope that is attainable and not just genetic for some and not for others. I'm hoping that putting in some serious mileage (for me maybe 50-60 mile weeks) that I can pull off that fresh as a daisy look post marathon as well.
Claudio mentioned walking down stairs backwards..... that would have saved an awful lot of pain these past two days :) |

First run since the Marathon 7 days ago. I'm feeling a strain in my left calf and a pain on the outside of my right knee. I could have pushed through, but why risk it and shelf myself for longer. I have to be smart.... not always my strong suit :)

I went further this time before my knee started to act up. I don't like how my body reacted to the marathon at all. I know some people are slowly jogging just days after their marathons. I hope it's just because it's my first and my knee is like "Whoa there fella... what's the rush!"
It has been 10 days today though..... |

I stopped on my own this time and not from ITB pain. What a slow process this is..... bummer. I have to keep up with the ITB exercises because I need to run!
This is what I've been doing at home along with core and leg exercises at the gym. By the way, the foam roller is painful.

Pain on the outside of my right knee. I'm so impatient it's unbelievable. I do three days of exercises and I think that hmmmm...... maybe I should run and see if I'm miraculously better? It's official, I think I'll really shut it down for a couple of weeks and rehab my ITB with hip, glutes and lower leg stretching and strengthening. |
