Since I just started my specific training for Boston, I thought I would share my key workouts for the remaining five weeks (now four) and my thoughts with how the fitness is progressing (hopefully). I know 5 weeks out is a bit late to start training for a marathon but I have done a […]

This little dandy I inserted into the middle of a 9 mile run and it worked me pretty good especially since the airflow systems were not working at the club. I was struggling a bit towards the end of the last 800 but was able to complete it, barely. I was a wet puddle when […]
