Run more. Eat more chocolate.
Less than three weeks. That’s it. In 19 days and 22 hours I’ll be on the starting line in Hopkinton. That’s nothing. Peak week is done, the work is done, and now I just have to be smart and keep it together for another 20 days and 1 hour to make it to the finish … Continue reading Boston Training: Peak Week
I wrote a post reflecting on my recovery 100 miles in, and now that I’m at the one year mark, I thought it was about time to again step back and reflect. For those of you who are new to this blog, I started it last year to track my recovery when I had a tibial … Continue reading 365 Days Healed

That is half of a quarter! (I know, I sound crazy. Now you know how I keep myself going … Continue reading Boston Training: Week 2
Back to the grind, as they say. I kicked off the first week of my 16-week Boston Marathon training cycle last week, and I got straight to work with one good workout and a good chunk of my long run at goal marathon pace. The conclusion after week one: You sure can lose fitness fast. … Continue reading Boston Training: Week One
