Where should I begin …

Well, I survived the 2007 Chicago Marathon and actually finished. That’s about all that I can say about it other than the Marathon itself was a huge disaster. But I’ll get into that later. First, I will start with Thursday, when the trip began. So, if you have time, come...

Gettin’ ready

Well, just a little less than a week to go. We leave for Chicago later this week. It still hasn’t sank in yet that I’m running a marathon. Weird. Anyway, I haven’t posted anything in a while so I wanted everyone to know that I’m still here.

20 miles! I’m done!

Well, I didn’t get a chance to post last week, but I did 18 miles. It’s basically the same route as this week but instead of turning left at mile 16, I turned right and ran 2 miles home. This week was a milestone in my training. That being that...

16 miles

That’s right. Six-freakin’-teen miles. Did intervals of 10 minute run and 1 minute walks. Wore me out. So much so, that I will end post here.

Branson, MO

Well, as I said in the previous post, Amy, Iliana and I went to Branson this weekend. We had a great time and it was a joy to watch Iliana experience the weekend. I learned a lot about Branson this weekend. A lot of “dos” and “don’ts.” I’ll start with...

Running again

Well, I had to take a little time off from running. After my 14 mile run, I think I hurt myself a little. I didn’t think much of it at the time and went ahead and ran my 10 miles the following weekend. I couldn’t move for the rest of...

14 miles…and still going

I did my 14 mile run Saturday. And it was hot. Really hot. I started at 5:30 am and finished around 8:15 am. It sucked. Really hot. I was drained for the rest of the day. Have I mentioned that it was hot. I only got 4 hours of sleep...

12 mile run

Went for my long run yesterday. It was pretty hot. I checked the weather before I ran and it said the humidity was at 90%. I don’t know how accurate that was, but by the time I hit 10.5 miles, I was daydreaming about running through sprinklers. At about 11.5,...

New Site

Nick showed me a new site called MapMyRun.com that lets you map out your runs, track your training, and other various features. I just got a newsletter from them and the also have MapMyTri.com, which is a lot more suited for me. The great thing about both these sites is...

iPod Repair

Well, last night I realized that Amy’s iPod is starting to fritz out. I don’t know if it has anything to do with me dropping it the other day, but that couldn’t have helped. But, I’m thinking, if an iPod can’t recover from a very small fall, then it sucks....
