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”

8/18/22: Berlin Pond 5 Miler
Another race I wasn’t sure what to expect from. The 2022 Berlin Pond 5 Mile race fell just a few days after I ran 27 miles at Six Hours on Lovers Lane. Right off the top, this doesn’t sound like the circumstance to run a great race. That said, I felt surprisingly strong in theContinue reading “8/18/22: Berlin Pond 5 Miler”
2021 Year in Review: July to September
July was a lull in the schedule, with no races until the end of the month. My goal was to avoid heat stroke while continuing build miles over the next couple of months, in order to be ready for some long races in September. I found it enjoyable to turn the Tuesday night fun runsContinue reading “2021 Year in Review: July to September”
8/12/21: Berlin Pond 5Miler
This day brought the opportunity to relive another race that I had only done once before, and under less-favorable circumstances. The Berlin Pond Five Mile Run was the first race I ran in coming back from my broken ankle in 2019. My modest goal for that race was to finish in under 50 minutes, orContinue reading “8/12/21: Berlin Pond 5Miler”

The Participation Series is designed to encourage, well, participation more so than actual competition. In contrast to the previous virtual race series, the Participation Series requires participants toContinue reading “6/25/20: CVR Participation Series/Berlin Pond 5 Mile”
1/20/20: Training Update
Today is 19 days to the Sprouts Mesa Half Marathon. As of a week ago, the longest I had run in training was 4.3 miles. I have a fairly aggressive plan to ramp up the miles, even though I have a potentially-injured leg. My plan involved limiting road miles as much as possible and buildingContinue reading “1/20/20: Training Update”
8/15/19: Berlin Pond 5 Mile
Having set my sites on the Berlin Pond race in August, and with the leg feeling pretty good for the most part, I started training regularly. I was running 3-4 times per week, mostly 3.5 – 4.5 runs with a couple of longer loops mixed in. My goal was to build up stamina rather thanContinue reading “8/15/19: Berlin Pond 5 Mile”
