Had some cramping in my glutes and calves on my Friday, so I shortened my run even more. Beyond some cramping, it has been an easy week of running. A few more days of short runs and then the big...

Another tiring week, but my runs felt great. Especially the long run on Friday - even though my legs were in a lot of pain and my joints had swollen up, I still kept moving forward...

A marathon the night before rapture
26.3 mi - 4:45:54
Awesome! I just PR’d my marathon by nearly half an hour. Too bad this is just a training run, so it is unofficial. I’ll still take it though. Now to stretch, recover and listen to some end of the world music.
Grab somebody sexy, tell them HEY! Give me everything tonight…

I finally broke 50 miles in a week! A lot of ups and down for the week, but I think I finished on a high note.
Monday consisted of an easy run and then finishing off with some hill repeats. I...
Stand Up Desk
Sitting down all the time is not good for you (duh!). Now an infographic is making its way around that says sitting will kill you. Ok, first of all, it’s not the best infographic, and it seems to be more of a scare tactic. Anyway, my coworker and I have complained on numerous occasions about another department having a desk that can be adjusted (high enough, so you can stand while using it),...

Another tough week. I didn’t quite make my goal of 50 miles for the week, but I feel I did really well on my long run on Friday. I’m going to build up my long run some...

04/25-05/01 Recovery Week
Mon - 4.25 mi easy run (11:03 pace) Tue - 2.4 mi easy run (10:33) Wed - 5.4 mi easy run (10:11) Fri - 10.2 mi long run (9:45) Sat - 5.2 mi easy run (10:18)
After a nice long run last Friday and Saturday, it was nice to take it easy for a week. I still put in a lot of milage, but it was clearly much less than the previous week. I ended up with 27.5 miles, just short of my 28 mile goal.
