I live in upstate NY. I am the oldest of four kids. I've been running since the spring of 2003 when I decided to shed some extra weight and maybe go out for my high school cross country team. Currently am doing MS in Education. Hope to teach Social Studies one day. I have the most amazing girlfriend ever, and she frequently goes running/jogging/hiking with me. Going to marry her one day :) |

AM - Going to do some crunches and eccentric exercises. Continuing to ice and stretch lightly. Anticipating the rebound sometime soon.
Rest day #5 :(
Sorry to all you Patriots Fans out there (and I know there are many). It must hurt to be fans of the team that ended the perfect season not so perfectly. 18 and 1 ouch. I never thought I'd live to see one of our three New York football teams actually end up a Super Bowl winner. wow. Miracles do come true.
Achilles is healing nicely. Have done a lot of icing, massaging, resting. I can't believe it's only been 5 days. This whole "taking a week off to rest" I think is the most painful, most drawn out week I have ever had. Even worse than finals week ever was in college!
FYI, anyone looking for a good trail marathon should look at the one I'm doing: Nipmuck Trail Marathon in Ashford, CT : http://www.marathonguide.com/sites/nipmucktrail/marathoninfo.cfm ; Although, I'm not sure what kind of goal to set. It states to ADD ONE HOUR to your BEST ROAD MARATHON PR. It's a very difficult 26.4 mile course I suppose, and only about 10 of 180 finishers ever gets under 4 hours, and about 60 under 5 hours. My best road PR is 4:26, so I suppose I am shooting for 5:30 or faster, but would it be too ambitious to aim for breaknig 5 hours? | | Comments(3) |

AM - Really starting to feel blah. My achilles I think is healing... but this is the longest week ever. Depressed.
Pushups and 200 crunches

AM - Crunches and pushups; Raring to get back out on the roads. Nasty weather expected next couple days so hopefully before the end of the week I can get a trial run in . Got to start smart. Don't want any more setbacks. Sent off application to Nipmuck for 6/1 yesterday. Getting psyched!
Rest Day: 7; Felt pain yesterday going up stairs which was weird. Continuing to massage and take it easy. Hoping to just get back out there even for 3 mile jogs.
So I really want to run. But the question is: How long do I need to wait before I come back. Everything I've read leads me to believe that achilles issues might be a prolonged problem, so should I suck it up and start doing some runs?

My thoughts and prayers to all those who are affected by or know those that were in the paths of those devastating storms that hit the South last night.
4:00 PM - Couldn't stand it any longer, so I dressed up and tried to go for a run.. and failed miserably. Only able to do two miles. I give up. I went as slow as I could, and it still hurts. Unfortunately I don't have access to a pool, so not sure what to do. I can try to hop on a bike tomorrow at the college? Is that better than nothing?
Mile 1: 10:14
Mile 2: 10:10

Got up early and went and did my taxes. Oh happy days. Even though I only work part time, I paid 1500 bucks in taxes and still OWE 250 to the government. Not a very nice start to my day. My mom and me swung by the YMCA afterwards, and I did a swim. First time in probably about four years I've gone swimming (besides jumping into the waves in Vieques during winter break). This is what I did:
1000 m freestyle: 20:08
200 m breast stroke: 5:02
450 m freestyle: 8:58
= 1 Mile = 34:08
Felt really good actually; Looking forward to becoming a better swimmer and getting in some nice swims this month while I rest. I picked up a schedule and they have a lot of mornings with open lap swim. This looks promising. :)
PM - 3 sets of pushups, 200 crunches. Probably going to get up early to go swimming. Though not sure. There's open lane swim 530 AM to 830 AM, and then 1115-5 (but only 1 lane available during this time). It might be a 5am wakeup call then for me. | | Comments(7) |

| 11:30 AM - Went to the YMCA this morning and decided to go for a swim. Did 1100 meters of freestyle in 21:35 and then changed and went and checked out the weightroom. They more than quadrupled the amount of cardio equipment that they have since the last time I was there about two years ago. Kick butt! Hopped onto a bike and did 5.1 miles in 20:45. Felt really good, and barely any soreness in the achilles. Not the same as running, but at least it's something to do. | | Comments(3) |

Blah seems a pretty good term for summing up today. Feel like junk and want to run but can't. Stuck at home babysitting and can't go to the YMCA. Man this is peachy. Not to mention have to do a stupid paper for grad school that is absolutely pointless. Tried reading more from Running Through the Wall. All that does is make me more depressed. Now it's snowing a ton too. And to make a horrible day even better, found out that somehow all 3 sets of my keys got locked in my car. I need a redo at life.
Going to plan my hardest to get to the YMCA and do a good 40 min + bike ride or something. Got my paper done which is good. That leaves tomorrow open (more than usual) to get in a cardio. me = Misses Running :'(!! | | Comments(8) |
