Just felt like stating the obvious, but it’s been VERY hot and humid these past few days in southeastern Connecticut. I went for a 5+ mile trail run on Monday at 9 AM and it already felt like I was running in the jungle. I’m hoping the temperature will drop a little bit, as I [...]

One week until the Fairfield Half-Marathon
Not only has the wedding planning and new house improvements distracted me from blogging, but it also caused me to forget (until very recently that is) that my second half-marathon for the year is next weekend! On June 27th I’ll be running the Stratton Faxon Fairfield Half-Marathon for the second time (ran it last year [...]

How do you taper for a race?
With the Shape Up RI half-marathon only three days away, I’ve apparently moved into “taper” mode…although I’m not exactly sure what that means! I believe it means that I should decrease the distance of my training runs and start resting up muscles for the race, but can I still run at all? I don’t even [...]

Less than two weeks until Bimbler’s Bash!
With less than two weeks until my first trail race, I noticed that they’ve even updated the website with the list of registered participants. It’s not Western States or anything, but this is the first time I can remember that I’ve been listed on a race website, which seems pretty cool. I’ll be running this [...]

Is marathon training actually BAD for your heart?
Now that my PT tendon seems to have healed itself (for now at least!) and the first race of the season is in the books, it’s time to get back to my regular routine. In terms of bloggin, this means listing the interesting websites I’ve found over the past week or so, starting with a [...]

How do you track your runs?
While my foot injury is healing, I’ve been doing some reading/thinking and have realized that I need to come up with a better system for tracking the frequency and distance of my runs. I’ve come to the conclusion that the reason for my injury in the first (and second) place was due to putting in [...]

Barefoot ultra-marathoner running 24 hours to fight hunger…and more!
Just wanted to share a few links I’ve found over the past day or so, starting with one to Leif Rustvold’s blog, Distance Minimally. From his blog: Next month, beginning on the morning of Saturday 20 March 2010, I will be running for 24 hours at the Pacific Rim One Day Run raising money to [...]

Terra Plana, 5-Hour Energy and more
Just felt like sharing a few random things that I meant to mention from the past week or so: 5 Hour Energy – I was a strong dis-believer in these concentrated energy drinks for the longest time, but recently I gave one a shot (no pun intended) before a run and weights session last week. [...]

Back from the Bahamas
This past weekend my fiancee and I took a pre-Valentine’s Day cruise to the Bahamas, so I’ve been away from the site for a bit. The trip was great by the way (thanks for asking!) even though I was forced to take a break from my running routine the entire time. However, I did get [...]

Some quick links to check out
Just wanted to share a few quick links this morning. The first is an article on Facebook by the Boulder Running Company, which voices their opinions against barefoot running (make sure to read the comments too!) Second, here’s an interview with Born to Run author Christopher McDougall at the Competitor.com booth at “the Running Event” [...]
