Blah basically sums up last week. I didn’t have much spunk in the legs and I was more tired in general for the first half of the week. The previous four week build probably had something to do with that.
This reduced volume week basically consisted of getting it done.
The goof ball event of the week […]

I have arrived to the conclusion of my four week block of training. It ended with my highest weekly mileage of training this year (68.94 miles) and included some exciting and humbling training days.
Saturday I re-visited Lake Grapevine and took on this trail which has been kicking my butt for the previous two weeks. Finally, […]

I started my second long run for the weekend at about 5:30 pm on Sunday and as I passed a shop sign, it read ‘100 F’. Gotta love Texas in July. The funny thing is, it didn’t feel all that hot with the nice warm (or hot) breeze coming from the south. My northern blood […]

For my second long training session last week, I was able to head out to a Northshore Trail at Grapevine Lake to get some more trail miles in me. This trail is a nice 9 mile out-and-back trail that contains both single track and some wider trail. It is a popular place for local mountain […]

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 […]

Last week put the weekly volume near 60 miles and I was able to hold it together!
Over the weekend I completed my first back-to-back long run of about 20 miles each day. One of them was on the trail and the other road.
I did see my first snake on the trail as I was near […]

Not another step!
This one thought was pounding through my head as I completed my long run of 26.12 miles on Saturday. The schedule said 26 miles. I thought, why not add an additional .2 miles. How tough could that be?
I stopped at 26.12 miles! I could tell early on that the run was going to […]

My first week of the eight week build phase is complete. It was a solid week of training that now includes tempo mile repeats as well as a fairly serious long run which will eventually turn into runs. (gulp!)
During my long run, I also performed a hydration test to try and determine my personal fluid […]

Last week was meant to be a recovery week but with family in town, it was far from recovery but definitely a good time. We got in some bocce ball, disc golf, cards, board games, and even a bit of neighborhood pool time. I did that work thing as well. Extra sleep and relaxation […]

I am going to keep this short and sweet so I can save a few recovery points as I am tiiiiiiired.
The last two weeks have been fairly stressful at work. It is rather interesting how much my recovery rate fluctuates depending on my current work environment.
Last week - solid. This week - recovery week!
My wife’s […]
