| Worst Long Run EVER! Never felt comfortable and on the verge
of puking the whole time. Almost pooped myself at mile 9. Ate a sublime
lime gu at mile 10 and it tasted like green curry. Below up at mile 15.
Fell hard on the ice at mile 16 and ran mile 17 and 18 at 9/mile pace.
Kill me. 18 mile at 7:48

Ran with both dogs together before work. They were really well behaved which makes me happy. Relaxed pace: 7 miles at 7:48
I'm feeling super sluggish. I think it's a combination of the horrible long run with some mild stomach virus thing. No energy, constantly upset stomach and achy. Hope it's over soon

| 15 mile long run with 12 of those being at goal marathon pace (6:45). Pretty blustery and windy out so some of it was a little rough but I felt real good and managed to run really even pace with each MRP mile being between 6:42 and 6:46. Happy to see I could do it, I was a little worried I'd crash and burn

YAY! first successful 20 miler done in my Boston cycle. Only 4 to go. Was going to do it south of Buffalo in the hills but when I got down there it was a lake effect snowy mess so I went home and did it around town. I was a little gun shy after my bad 17 miler. Kept a comfortable even pace at 7:40 and it went good!. It was cold though, started to get numb towards the end

| Easy mid-week long run. 12 miles around the park and teh cemetery. Comfortable 7:35 pace. Doing some wear testing for Saucony for some new shoes so I'm trying to put some miles on them but I think they may be aggravating my right ankle issue so I'm keeping a close eye on it.

| Group run with the peeps in my running club doing Boston. Had no real plans for the run besides get in 17 miles. One of the guys wanted to do a 12 mile MRP run at his goal pace (7:15) so I was more than happy pace with him. It went good and we knocked out the 12 at about 7:10s. Finished up to get 17 total @ 7:15

| Woke up to find 3 inches of snow on the sidewalks and it was still snowing. Got out the door and the snow changed to sleet and then rain. Conditions were getting progressively worse and sloppier. Bailed at 8 miles (had 9-10 planned) with a pace of 8:03

| Went down to the southtown hills to do a run in the 55 degree day (punctuated with high weeks and downpours). 14 miles @ 7:37 with some nice hills thrown in. Good to get away from home to run. My new work schedule now lets me do these longer midweek runs. I work every Tuesday and Friday and every other Thursday and weekend. While it kinda sucks having to work 1/2 my weekends (and missing most of my teams group runs) it's nice being able to run during the weekdays when everyone else is at work. I think I'll appreciate it more in the summer.

We got about 8+ inches of snow last night so I retreated to the basement for my tempo interval workout. 5 mile w/u 4x1 mile at tempo (6:19) with 1 min recovery 1 mile c/d Felt good but I kept blowing the breaker on the powerstrip. I need to replace the strip with something more heavy duty or put a new outlet for the treadmill

| Still pretty messy out from the snow so I did my run on the treadmill again, ugh. 13 miles @ 7:47 while watching Looper. I was pleasantly surprised by the movie. I seem to have a low calf pull going on. I need to watch it and make sure it doesn't get bad. Maybe I did it with my speed workout last night

Blech, I'm in a serious funk. Completely unmotivated to run and about pretty much everything. It doesn't help I have some sinus thing on top of it. Last week was basically a throw away week missing 2-3 runs and this week isn't looking much better. Had a race scheduled on the 9th and couldn't get the motivation to go and didn't, and then felt like poo for missing it afterwards.
Missing runs psychs me out, makes me panic about miles, and makes me question my ability to hit my goal in April which makes me more in a funk. It's a self-perpetuating cycle. Hopefully I'll snap out of it soon

Cooldown, recovery, and warm up was paced at 7:40. Ended up getting locked in the cemetary so I had to run to a far gate to get out which added a mile to the run. |

| Still being very inconsistent which is getting me down. Hopefully march will be a fruitful push to Boston. Still hoping to break 3. Even with all this inconsistinecy, my weekly mileage for the last 12 weeks is 10 miles higher than my while of the training for wineglass (51 vs 42). With a good march, it'll be probably around 55 mpw since I started training (week of Dec 10th). IDK. 10 miles today which was fine, average pace: 7:40

| Continuing to be horrible inconsistent and it's really getting to me. I hope that the bulk of the training I got done is enough to get me to my goal at Boston. Plus it's been really cold (20s-low 30s) here with snow most night. I feel strong when I run and I get the workouts done with ease but getting out the door has been horrendous lately, missing lots of runs. At least I get to taper now after my last 22mle long run.

1 week till Boston and my last real workout before Boston. I'm a little worried in general about my training. I averaged about 50mpw over the last 18 weeks with 3 20 miler and 4 18 milers. Had some really good weeks and some mediocre weeks. Overall I think training went OK, definiately more serious than my last marathon and I managed to not get hurt. So, my goal is to shoot for 2:57 with even splits and i'll have a little cushion to get in under 3. I'll be either really happy monday or really dissappointed but I have to go for it. Bib 4860, wave 1 corral 5. Same corral as my sister so that's exciting. Leaving to go there on Friday and staying at the finish line. It'll be an expierence if nothing else

Boston Marathon Race Report
Requisite mention of the attack: I’m saddened by what
happened and am thinking about all those affected, directly and
indirectly. I hope we get all the
details and find out what happened and deal with it appropriately. Everyone I know that was there was safe so
that was a relief. We were in The Lenox’s
lobby (our hotel) drinking beers with my wife, sister and her boyfriend when it
happened. The Lenox is on Boylston directly between the bomb sites. They both shook the building and immediately
we kinda knew what was going on. I sent
out a facebook message instantly because I knew phones would be swamped. We were stuck in the hotel for about 45
minutes lock down and then told to evacuate. Luckily we had out bag and did the
only thing we could think to do, walk to Cambridge where our friends had an
apt. We walked about 2 miles before
catching the bus to her apartment. We
showered, ate and caught a cab to the airport were we were able to get out
flight back home. Now on to my race
Training: Over the 18
weeks before the marathon I ran about 850 miles and averaged about 48 miles per
week. I did 7 18-20 mile runs, several
long marathon paced runs, and some tough tempo runs. I also trained on hills trying to prepare
myself. I managed not to get hurt but February
was rough motivation wise and I only managed to run about 171 during that month
and missed a bunch of runs. It was my
highest training volume to date. Despite feeling strong in my runs I was not
feeling confident at all and in general pretty nervous. My goal was sub 3 and I
was aiming to go out at 2:57.
Pre-race: We got into
town Friday and went to the expo. It was
exciting to be at a race of this scale. I
picked up my super flashy jacket and some other swag. Saturday we met up with my sister and her
friends. We went to the aquarium on
Sunday and at a nice pre-race dinner with her friend in Cambridge. Race-morning, I got up and walked to the
busses and met my sister. At the staging
area we relaxed with her running club from Baltimore. I was super impressed how smoothly it all
went. When it was time we went to the start
Start and first 5k (21:27, pace 6:55): My goal was to NOT go out to fast or panic
too much. It was surprisingly downhill
and hard to hold back. Felt real good
and ready for the long haul. Crowds were amazing and surprisingly little
bumping. It was hotter/sunnier than I
expected but it wasn’t horrible
5-10k (20:56, pace: 6:44):
Right on pace and felt decent. My
stomach was a little bloated but nothing too serious. Ate my chomps every 45 minutes as planned and
drank a cup at each water station
10-15k (20:51, pace 6:43):
Still feeling good eating and drinking.
The crowd support was great as we hit the small towns along the
way. Never seen anything like it, people
with great signs, people screaming their heads off, and people handing out
everything all sorts of snacks.
15-20k (20:55, pace 6:44):
Starting to feel a little labored and the little bumps in the road
dropped my pace a little. The Wellesley girls
were crazy, the loudedest section of the race, nice little motivation before
the half
20-25k (21:08, pace 6:48):
Feeling rough, took a powergel to try to get some energy back into my
leg.
25-30k (21:43, pace 7:00): Hit the half right on goal at
1:28:45. The Newton hills took their
toll on me. Really dropped my pace and I
had trouble picking the pace up on the backside going down. Saw a lot of other people in the hurting too
30-35k (25:30, pace 8:13):
And the wheels came off and came off hard . It’s totally cliché but heartbreak hill did
me in. Walked the last 1/3 of the hill
but still managed to run down the backside but it wasn’t getting and
better. My pace really slowed and I knew
my goal of sub-3 (and even a 3:05 BQ) was gone so I just tried to enjoy
myself. The crowds were pretty much the
only thing keeping me going and they were amazing.
35-40k (29:16, pace 9:26):
Despite a couple brief walking breaks I managed to keep shuffling
(mostly to get it done sooner than later).
At around mile 23 I saw my Wife and a couple friends cheering like crazy
for me (and pretty much everyone in the race) and I was pretty disappointed with
myself at that point so I could only manage a little excitement seeing
them. The crowds were growing thicker
and I loved all the support
40-42k (11:00, pace 8:04): No matter how bad you feel you
run the last 2k as best you can. Coming
down Boylston was amazing and I just pushed to the end and crossed at 3:12:46. Felt pretty rough but kept walking and got my
medal, blanket and checked bag. Found my
sister, friends and wife and made our way to the hotel.
Post-race thought: I’m
pretty disappointed with how I ran and sometimes the bear eats you. If you don’t
push you’ll never fail. I don’t know
where it went wrong. Was it my training,
the weather, the hills or just a bad race?
Most bitter was that I missed my BQ so I’d need to do another marathon
this fall if I want to run in 2014 (which I’d like to). All in all, I’m no worse for wear aside from viscous
blisters and the expected soreness. I
enjoyed Boston, the race and the experienced and I can wear my super ugly
jacket with pride. It was like no race I’ve
ever done before and I’m going to put my performance behind me and look forward
to using my base to some great races this summer.
The pace profile says it all.

Springville Stampede (3.107 Miles) 00:18:28, Place overall: 4, Place in age division: 1 | Running Miles | Swimming Yards | Bike Miles | 6.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| Ran an evening 5k in the Southtowns to gauge my fitness. My goal was to come in under 18:36. to feel good about how my fitness was going. I didn't expect to go much faster due to lack of short speed work and only being 3 weeks post-Boston and blood donation
The race is smallish (~200 people) that has a decently steep 0.25 mile hill right at mile 1. It was kinda warm and muggy out which I have not adjusted too. At the start the usual young kids blast off and quickly fade and I settle into 6th place while 1st is way gone up the road. Cross mile one in about 5:45 and then up the the hill while I pass 2-3 people to wind up in 4th. Mile 2 was slower at about 6:15 and close mile 3 at 6:05. Finished off at 18:28 and the course was likely 10 seconds short or so. So I was right on my goal which wasn't bad considering the hills I wasn't ready for. I also got 1st in my age With W/U and C/D I had a little over 6 for the day

I’ve really been neglecting my log and failed to keep it
updated mostly because my life has been a hectic mess lately. The main thing in my life is that we closed
on our house and did the move mid-June, I’d like to say it was smooth but it
was fairly dramatic compared to my last closing but it’s all straight now and
the house is kicking. Also I had in-laws
visiting for the better part of a week during the move and we've been busy doing all the stuff associated with a new house like painting and replacing fixutures. The only bad part is that I need to find all
new running routes now and my new neighborhood isn’t as nice to run in. The
weather has also been crap, raining ¾ of the time. Works also been busy with left me in a little
bit of a funk/ and some missed runs towards the end of June.
At the end of May, I started informally working with a
running coach. He’s a local
ultramarathoner that trains a couple of fast local guys. So far it has been pretty good and he’s definitely
some intensity and accountability that I needed. We are trying a 10-day cycle which is
interesting, my cycle typically a long run, a track workout, short tempo and
long faster run. I did two races since I
started working with him and both have been pretty good. I set a PR in a 3.5 mile race and I was 3
seconds off a lifetime PR in the 8k on a course that was hilly and a touch long. Plus I feel good during some pretty intense
workouts so hopefully the rest of the summer goes good
And we got a new kitten, she’s a holy terror!
