CIM Week 11.5 of 12: Race Preview
Let’s face it: it’s super awkward to post workouts from the last week of marathon training after the race, so I thought I’d lump the beginning of Week 12 with a little race preview, to get my pre-CIM rambling on.…
CIM Training Week 11 of 12: Almost Game Time
Less than a week to go until CIM!! It seems so surreal. I’ll draft a race preview sometime later this week, but in the meantime, here are some random thoughts: My right ankle has been bugging me since the Berkeley…
CIM Training Week 10 of 12: Peak Week?
“Peak Week 1” LOLZ. I don’t know if I’m peaking, or just feel “peak-ed”. With Thanksgiving upon us, I can’t help but get in the mindset of feeling grateful for a lot of things in my life. In terms of…
CIM Training Week 9 of 12: Peak Weeks, Here I Come!

CIM Week 3 of 12 & Pacing the Tiburon Half Marathon
Howdy! The nice thing about a 12-week training cycle is that I can say that I’m already a quarter done at the end of Week 3. Hooray! Monday: Rest. Tuesday: Long midweek run (80-90 minutes). This was a comedy of…

CIM Training Week 2 (of 12)
Monday: Rest. Tuesday: Leg speed (aka strides) – 10 x 25 sec on/1 min off. Nice little workout to get the legs to turnover more efficiently. 5.9 miles @ 10:10/mile Wednesday: 60 minutes easy. I just couldn’t get my act…
