I don't like to hurt...: May 2014

I don't like to hurt. But I'd say that the most important thing a marathoner must have is the ability to suffer. If you do not accept that, you will not be a successful marathoner.". Friday, May 30, 2014. MCM Training Week 4. Saturday, May 24-Monday, May 26. Zero Zip. Nada. Big news from the weekend though was that I fit into my favorite pair of shorts (size 6). The last time I remember wearing them was on our honeymoon in Greece in 2008. Tuesday, May 27 6 miles (treadmill). Easy run at the gym. First Sa...

Friday, September 26, 2014. MCM Training Week 21. Saturday, September 20: OFF. Sunday, September 21: 13.1 miles (road). The Texas Road Romp Half Marathon in Waco, Texas. It was hot, hilly, and I suffered. The End. But, he won the race by 11 minutes, so apparently it was only awful for me. Race week is 5 weeks from today!

I don't like to hurt. But I'd say that the most important thing a marathoner must have is the ability to suffer. If you do not accept that, you will not be a successful marathoner.". Friday, December 20, 2013. Looking back and looking ahead. With 2013 winding down, I thought I'd include the text from our Christmas card this year to review where we've been and start thinking about where we're going in 2014. Wow, what another incredible year! Posted by dr mel. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am a Rogue.

The Waving Runner: Crawling Back
http://thewavingrunner.blogspot.com/2011/10/crawling-back.html
Saturday, October 8, 2011. Today I finally got back out and took a little ride on the bike. As I hadn’t a clue as to how my body would respond, I decided I would just go down to The Veloway to do some loops. (Yeah, hoping on the trainer would have been easier, but I have spent enough time in front of my TV lately.) I was actually very surprised how I felt on the bike! I know that I will never be able to post those type of numbers…. OK That is all for now. Run friendly! December 21, 2011 at 8:46 AM.

Baristing: November 2014
http://baristing.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
November 30, 2014. I've been reading a lot of books lately. Yesterday, I read for 8 consecutive hours. This isn't a point of pride exactly, so much as a mere statement of fact. You will make various assumptions about me based on that fact. They are likely to be accurate and not flattering. Still, the truth is its own justification, and all that. I'd like to transition here to something about the "holiday season", or whatever, but I'll just start with this: People, for the most part, have an unhealthy rel...

Baristing: March 2015
http://baristing.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
March 17, 2015. The thing about running the same race, year after year, is that it provides an objective marker by which to judge progress. There are variables, of course, beyond baseline fitness. But in general, it's the best we can do. And since I'm getting up there in my trail running years now - I'm only half joking - I've now got a race for which I can call up four results. 2012: Didn't run it. Links to this post. March 16, 2015. Links to this post. March 15, 2015. Pi Day Half Marathon. March 1, 2015.
