Ventura Training–Wk 8, Plans to not Freak the Fck Out During Taper 27 Aug 2013 | 12:03 am
I sort of don’t feel like the marathon is coming up. (TWO WEEKS OMG). Or that I’ve really been in training. Life is all kinds of weird right now and running just feels like an everyday routine thing, ...
Run Data–the Double-Edged Sword 24 Aug 2013 | 02:51 am
One of the things that I simultaneously love and am infuriatingly frustrated by in running is how measurable everything is. Times, distances, splits – they’re all super easy to assign a pass/fail base...
Catchup Catsup Ketchup 21 Aug 2013 | 10:49 pm
While there was little interruption in Ventura Marathon training during the last few weeks of wild funemployment/soul-searching/wanderlusting, there has been a very obvious void in the reporting of it...
Wanderlust at a Cost (and yes, I’d totally do it again) 16 Aug 2013 | 01:02 pm
I’ve been back at home after the 2.5 week round-trip road trip for a little less than 24 hours, and it all just feels like a blur. A 7,000 mile, constant motion, too-many-subway-footlongs-and-gas-stat...
Roadtrip Leg 1 – COMPLETE 3 Aug 2013 | 06:11 pm
Well the first half of my round trip cross country roadtrip is over – I survived, am still friends with Jenna, and managed to run one mile for every 130 driven (18 total with some hills and tempo’ish ...
A Funemployment Update, aka Why Not Now?? 26 Jul 2013 | 01:11 pm
“So, what have you been up to?” A friendly inquisition, usually (thoughtlessly) answered with a “oh not much, you?” or a “you know, same old…” But when those aren’t the case, when you’ve been up to ...
The Unpopular Kid with No Friends at the Party 24 Jul 2013 | 01:07 pm
footnote : the kid is probably unpopular because she yells at non-english speaking three abreast walkers, purposefully cuts off Beats By Dre slogging lane one, and flat tire bum rushes jog-50m-then-co...
Ventura Training, wk3–Where the Upside Down Ones Look Best 22 Jul 2013 | 08:48 am
Another week of no drinking on weekdays, tracking food, (kind of) doing core and strength stuff, and other responsible runner-ness down. Still feeling good sans some extra tight calves and a cranky pi...
Learning to Tempo 19 Jul 2013 | 12:40 pm
Tempo runs have notoriously been my kryptonite. Sure I claim long runs my arch nemesis, but tempos always seem to have a way of breaking me and totally blinding me to any of the promising aspects of m...
Track Party–16×400 and my Future Gold Medal 18 Jul 2013 | 10:43 pm
Preface #1 – Do you like these segregated track posts? Speed work is one of the most common inquiries I get from y’all, so I figured there must be at least a small market for them. Preface #2 – I tri...
