On a whim, I decided early one morning (4am, couldn’t sleep) I’d enter The Grasslands Run near Decatur, TX. I’d been wanting to run this race for a couple of years so I figured now was as good a time as any. I also had to travel to the area to take care of some [...]

Now that my summer job is over and I should have more time to run, I’ve decided to make an effort to get in better shape than I was last year before the Philadelphia Marathon. I’m hoping to log at least a 25K race before the marathon in November, but I’m still looking for something [...]

Since I’ve been working it seems like my mileage has picked up quite a bit compared to during the school year. This is even more strange because I’m not a fan of running in warmer weather, particularly with high humidity. But I guess with long days during the week, I feel like I better get [...]

Even though I worked late today, I took the time right when I got home to head out for a nice hour-long run. Usually when I exercise more, I have trouble sleeping. Given that I am getting to work before 7am, I really hope I don’t have that problem tonight.

Though I hadn’t run more than 10 miles since May, I decided the Philadelphia Marathon had my name written all over it. I was wanting to run another road marathon, the forecast looked like it would be picture perfect, and I was jonesing for a big challenge. So last Friday, I signed up for the [...]

I’ve not really gone out for a good long run since the weather has turned colder but I guess I was a bit surprised to see so few people out on the trail considering that I’m sure there are people that are training for the Philadelphia Marathon (which runs one month from tomorrow). Oh well, [...]

After preparing some homework for accounting, I returned home and put my running shoes on and headed out for the trail. I did my usual course of 5 miles out and 5 miles back with about a 2-minute rest at the half-way mark. I’m feeling my pace grow more consistent and my endurance is improving. [...]

I got back to Center City a bit earlier than expected this afternoon so I took advantage of it by heading up to Falls Bridge. The out-and-back was a smooth 10 miles and I held a very consistent pace. I noticed that I was almost up to my normal pace I hold for a 6 [...]

I headed out today in the late afternoon for a run. I only had two classes today and I wanted to take advantage of the little bit of free time I had in my schedule. I’m considering running a half-marathon this Sunday so I was pushing the pace a bit more than normal. It helped [...]

I originally set out to do a 3 mile out and back for a total of 6 miles but my knees were quite fatigued after the out section. Rather than push it, I decided to walk it off a while and see how they felt. I ended up running in the last mile and I [...]
