Schedule Change

No 100 miler this year!
Last week I came to the realization that my life schedule is just too full to run a 100 or even a 50 miler this year. This was a fairly hard thing for me to realize but once I did, it was an easy decision. I am typically not one to [...]

Endurance Season Reboot

I kicked off my season a couple weeks ago with some very easy running but for some reason it has rarely felt easy. I should have way more spunk than I currently do so I am going to take a step back and perform a bit of a reboot. No running this entire week but [...]

I’m Back!

After a nice vacation visiting my wife’s parents, I am back blogging. It was a very nice break that included plenty of running as well.
I was able to complete all of my weekly workouts which was a nice bonus. The weather in the midwest was also a treat coming from the south. Those 50 degree [...]
