| Member Since: Nov 01, 2010 Gender: Male Goal Type: Boston Qualifier Running Accomplishments: Best Post High School 5K (Nate Bruckenthal Memorial 2011): 20:28 Best half marathon (Maryland Half Marathon 2011): 1:38:02 Best 20 Miler (NCR Trail 2010): 2:34:43 First (and so far only) marathon (Baltimore 2010): 3:39:48 (nursing an overuse injury) Short-Term Running Goals: I think I have a shot at qualifying for Boston if I put in the time, train for strength and speed, and avoid injury. With the new times that may be only a distant dream. Running is about becoming a better person and not just qualifying for Boston. Long-Term Running Goals: Keep running as a part of my fitness routine after I do 4 or 5 marathons Personal: Married with 3 boys College professor by day (and night a lot of times) My best event was the mile in high school (two decades+ ago) Blogged about the spiritual nature of my first marathon (http://p-s-wellbeing.blogspot.com) Wrote a book called The Radical Transformation of Runner 1313--all profits go to charity |

| Had a very nice 10 exercise workout. Some of the exercises are coming together so that I'm at 12 reps at a weight I'm just getting comfortable with. On those, I'll do a few more 12's before moving up in weight. Others, like the "push out", are difficult when not done first. Finally, I did my first two sets of 8x275 on the leg press. The difference between 270 and 275 is much "bigger" than any difference I've felt before. So much that I could only do 4 leg presses in my third set and I did those at 270. I will have to make any further leg press progress slow and steady. | | Add Comment |

| On the treadmill Some inclines for 1/4 to 1/2 mile at a time Ran 1st and last half at 8:57 pace (6.7 MPH) Ran the middle 4 at 7:35 pace (7.9 MPH) Still a little issue with the left knee but it is going away more an more quickly afterwards Ate some cashews and drank water before I left. That helped. | | Add Comment |

| 7 miles in 60 minutes on the treadmill at the Y. It was a nice workout with regular interval inclines. Needed it before a heavy dinner. Nice, constant 8:34 pace. Knee was a little stiff but feeling not so bad after each run. The idea of running through seems to be working better this time than at any time in the past. | | Add Comment |

| Not sure how to classify my Yasso 800's although I think that since I ran 6 of them, calling it three threshold miles seems about right. I ended up with as many easy miles as I ran 6 3:20 segments at 8:57 pace along with a 5 minute run before the first 800 and a 3+ minute extra cool down at the end. Nice 800 calorie workout this morning. Trying not to rush my push toward a 3:20 next October but feeling like everything is good. Knee a little stiff but not as bad as last time. Each time the degree the knee hurts seems to decrease. Also, already registered for the Baltimore Marathon 2011 already--they opened with a $12 discount on the early bird registration fee yesterday. | | Add Comment |

| 35 minutes on the rowing machine. Burned 421. Started out way too hard and nearly felt like I was going to vomit. But slowed down a bit and had a nice complete workout. | | Comments(4) |

| 40 minutes on the rowing machine. Decent amount of water and some calories before the workout which included a warmup and stretching. So, this time I burned 500 cal in 40 minutes and felt much better than after the 421 cal workout in 35 minutes yesterday. Hope everyone has a great day. | | Comments(2) |

| No running today. Just a few weights. 1/2 hour on an exercise bike (293 cal), 1 hour of yoga, and 1/2 hour of elliptical (503 cal) | | Add Comment |

| Again, no running. Just a little more healing to go and a lot of prophylaxis. 1/2 hour on a bike twice (294 and 306 cal) with an hour yoga class in between. I won't be able to keep up with this much time every day once I return to real work and real life after the holiday but it is enjoyable right now. | | Comments(2) |
