Race Recap: Woodside Ramble 10K
Two weeks after running CIM, I decided to run a 10K at Huddart Park with Cathryn. Why? Well, I decided that a bit of trail running with one of my favorite runners/friends was just what I needed after almost a…
Pleasanton Ridge, Hamstring Issues, & a Practice Race
I’ve been trying to avoid turning this blog to a training log. Even though it’s useful for me, I know it can get boring for others. But I find that when I’m deep into a training cycle, and also busy…

Why I wanted to run this race / Goals: See Race Preview. Pre-race: I slept really poorly all week, culminating in a 6-hour tossing-and-turning session that I doubt qualified as actual sleep. In terms of nutrition, I actually behaved myself…
Marine Corps Marathon Week 6

Weekly training recap: CIM Week 16 (Taper Week 1)
This week was a little funky because I ended up resting on both Monday and Tuesday. Mon: Rest. My foot and hip were still bothering me from the 20-miler on Sunday, but I could tell it was the kind of…
Weekly training recap: CIM Week 7 + Mini Race Recap LMJS 10K
I’m starting to sense that every week, there’s a theme to my training. This week’s theme was “run by feel.” Mon: Rest. Tues: Rather than go by any goal time, I wanted to run by feel (or perceived exertion). I…
