It Was A Good Few Months
This week marks the beginning of a new training plan (Cherry Blossom 10-Miler is the immediate goal [in 1:07:30]) and JPN102 beginning. Free time? Goodbye. Tuesdays and Thursdays my schedule has me getting my run in going to work, arriving at 10am, showering there, working until 7pm, heading to class until 10pm, home by 10:30. Wednesdays aren’t so bad, but I bike to work,…

Race: Al Lewis 10-Miler
Ms. Caitlin and I woke up early this morning to head up to Kensington, MD for this race. The idea was to treat it as a long run. As usual (I’m giving up on the idea now), we both went harder than we had hoped. Results aren’t online yet, but you can check out my GPS data. This was my first 10-miler, so a…

Running… What’s Next?
Not sure what my exact plans or goals are for next year, but I do have a schedule already in the works (yes, includes stuff for the end of this year). The ones listed as training runs are races that are free for me to enter (DC Road Runners member), but part of a Winter racing series. I think if I just enter them…

Race: Wright Stuff 5k
Another year, another Wright Stuff 5k. Last year, in the heart of my sub-20 push, I ran this race in 20:26. It was a cold day last year, and this year was even worse so I wasn’t expecting a blazing fast time considering my previous time on the course was nearly 30 seconds slower than what I was doing elsewhere [despite them calling it…
