• Marathon Training Plan

    I’ve developed my plan and with this week almost complete (due to my bike race on Saturday), I’ve kept to it! I tried to put it in a format that would be embeddable in this here post, but it was going to be a lot of effort. Click here to see the export from Word.

  • Race: Hugh Jascourt 4-Miler

    For my third and final (thank God!) race of the week, I journeyed on over to Fletcher’s Cove to celebrate the 41st anniversary of the DC Road Runners Club (and to race four miles). I didn’t really have a goal for the race, but I had predicted a time of around 26:00. Oddly, this was

  • I backtracked this weekend.

    So it was funny that this article would find its way in to the Post this morning. I didn’t stop, I didn’t have any elbaorate story… I was on the toll road, in the wrong lane, and didn’t feel like busting my ass (and or car, and or anybody else’s) trying to get over in
