I’ve read your blog from the beginning of September up until today. Two decent races in there and you showed some real character when you didn’t succumb to Gatorade temptation. You seem to be ticking along nicely and mixing the training up with the bike and martial arts will help combat injuries. Not sure what injury problems have plagued you and how that impacts on your training (running) load. Has the track season finished in the States? If so, will you now start to build the miles?

Thanks Bam. I have had minor knee pain in the past but riding the bike and doing some other cross training has seemed to solve that issue. Hopefully. I enjoy watching fights and have trained little in kickboxing and jiujitsu, it's a great workout and practical.

Track season has pretty much come to an end here. My plan is to put in as many miles on the road and bike as I can over the next few months to have a good base for Spring. I think next year I can dip into the 15s for a 5k if I stay focused and healthy.

I'd appreciate your input, you seem very knowledgeable about training and your 33 minute 10k shows that you know how to get a lot out of your running. Good luck with the weight loss, running and keeping the booze and cigarettes to a minimum. I look forward to seeing your more serious running at 142 pounds.

Nice to see someone not obsessed with the marathon like the rest of us all are! Good run today, quick!

I was going to go running last night in the rain, but there was a bunch of scary lightning.
