It’s been a minute, Blog

For that matter, it’s been a longer minute than I realized. I could have sworn I did an update after Pineland. I did not. I think I’ll re-engage with a rapid-fire review of the races I’ve run since my last update, which was the Paul Mailman 10 Miler in April. The one exception will beContinue reading “It’s been a minute, Blog”

4/24/21: Paul Mailman Ten Miler

What a difference two weeks, or three miles, or 15 degrees (or all of the above) makes. I was looking forward to this year’s Paul Mailman as an opportunity for growth and redemption. Growth in the sense that I would be able to measure continued improvement on this course. As you may remember, my firstContinue reading “4/24/21: Paul Mailman Ten Miler”

7/18/20: CVR Participation Series Paul Mailman 10 Mile Race

For my next race in the CVR Participation Series, I went for another bite at the Paul Mailman Ten Miler. You may recall that this was my first-ever long race last year. You may also recall that I ran the course in honor of the cancelled race in April. Now taking it on for aContinue reading “7/18/20: CVR Participation Series Paul Mailman 10 Mile Race”

And today, Monday, I’m writing a training update. It’s a pandemic, folks. There are no rules! As the title implies, this is a post aboutContinue reading “5/11/20 Training Update: What Exactly is Rest?”

4/25/20: CVR Virtual Race / Not-the-Paul Mailman 10 Miler

This week was to be the Paul Mailman 10-mile race in Montpelier, which at press time has been postponed and not cancelled. Recognizing that there would be people who wanted to run a virtual version, CVR added a 10-mile option for week two of the Social Distancing Race series. I for one have been planningContinue reading “4/25/20: CVR Virtual Race / Not-the-Paul Mailman 10 Miler”

2/3/20: Training Update

The Sprouts Mesa Half Marathon is now just five days away. Happily, things are generally trending upward for my leg. There is some discomfort, but it’s not really in pain. And the recovery time is pretty quick. In short, I am feeling confident that, even if the leg does bother, I can push through forContinue reading “2/3/20: Training Update”

4/27/19: Paul Mailman 10 Mile

Because I am writing this months later I can’t really pinpoint the time, but somewhere along the way in the late winter/early spring of 2019 this definitely became about more than just running some 5Ks. The 5K gave way to the 10K, which then got me thinking about the next race on the list, aContinue reading “4/27/19: Paul Mailman 10 Mile”
