To be honest, I’ve been back from the honeymoon for over a week now and while things are going great on the married/house front , things on the running front have slowed a bit. Going into my wedding and honeymoon, my PT tendon had been a bit sore and I was hoping that over a [...]

Hot and humid…perfect if I was training for Badwater!
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 [...]

Ultra Half-Marathon Man
Okay, so maybe there’s nothing quite “ultra” about running 13.6 miles, but pretending I was doing something way above and beyond what I had ever done before helped me get through the run on Saturday…even if it was only 0.5 miles farther than my previous distance In case you’re too lazy (or have something better [...]

Longest run of the year
Saturday morning I hit the streets for my long run of the week, hoping to go eight miles or so. Wearing my Vibram Five Fingers Sprints (which have now surpassed my KSO’s as my favorite road running “shoes”) though, I got into an awesome groove and if necessary, could have definitely finished a half-marathon distance!

Recovery runs: Do you do them? Do they help?
Each of the past two weeks I’ve gone on a long run (both of which happened to be trail runs) and have noticed something odd about my recovery. The day after each of the runs I feel good, but due to concerns over my PT tendon soreness in my foot, I’ve decided that taking an [...]

Race Report: 2010 Bimbler’s Bash 10k trail race
Sunday morning my buddy (@aarondavidson) and I ran Bimbler’s Bash, a 10k (yeah right!) trail run in Guilford, CT…and what a race it was! When we first got there, we tried to get a feel for the course by talking with some other runners who had participated in previous years, but to be honest, nothing [...]

Longest trail run to date!
After a weekend that included a couple hikes, but no substantial running, plus some serious Easter-eats, it was time to get focused on training for Bimbler’s Bash. In case you weren’t aware, “the bash” is a 10k trail run in Guilford, CT, and will be the first trail race of my life. Up to this [...]

Race Report: 2010 Leprechaun 5-Miler
Before I get into the race report, I just wanted to thank Mother Nature for holding off the bad weather until today and providing a spectacular day for a race yesterday (not to mention the entire week!) Anyways, yesterday I ran the Leprechaun 5-Miler road race at the surf club in Madison, CT, to raise money [...]

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 [...]
