I’m in an eating funk that I need to get out of. It’s been a more than stressful few days and my diet has shown it.
I have to get it together before I not only gain weight with less than a week left until the Great Aloha Run but have other problems like a gout [...]

I’m trying to get back on track. The past week was horrendously busy, the weather was poor, and my bike needed a new rear tire.
And after running that sub 10 minute mile paced 10K, I wasn’t really feeling myself yet.
Today, after an insanely early day (assisting with technical matters at a 7 am wedding), I [...]

I’m almost ready. I ran the best overall race of my life this past Sunday at the Johnny Faerber 10K, but I was struggling with the distance–or rather, going harder than I was used to for longer than I was used to.
But I did better than ever.
I have two weeks to get ready for the [...]

I’m hopeful for an injury free last couple of weeks of training. It’s been a tough few weeks with work, my part time jobs, and my family all presenting issues.
I’ve still been largely able to stay on track with my workouts.
I haven’t been able, however, to lose the weight I want or follow my [...]

I’m tired, but pleased. I ran the best race of my life on Sunday, coming in at a pace almost two minutes per mile than the previous year, a pace more than half a minute faster than I was hoping for.
Success has been happening with all of my running events recently.
I am hoping that spills [...]

This 10K was a real test. I’ve been faster in the 5K and 8K leading up to it, but 5Ks and 8Ks aren’t really long enough in my opinion to tell me a lot about how fast I really am, since I can power through short distances. a 10K, however, is long enough to be [...]

I’m not at my best despite the numbers. I’m doing well running by all estimations but I don’t feel like I’m doing my best.
I’ve got more speed in me than I’ve ever had before, but my weight is still not down, my body fat isn’t either. I think my working out and watching my diet [...]

For the second year in a row, I took on this 8K early in the year, the second of three races in the Great Aloha Run Readiness Series. Having had a rocking 5K a couple of weeks ago I was hoping for a lot of the same.
And in large part, I had it.
Compared to last [...]

I’m working out, but not thrilled. Did both a run and a ride today; the run was very decent, but the ride was not.
Figured that since today is my birthday I’d cop out by putting up results rather than a whole lot else.

and…

Oh, and Sunday is race day! An 8K this time. Hoping to beat [...]

I’m not as fast as I’d like to be, but I don’t know if I ever will be. On the other hand, I’m faster than I was last year.
Last year in the 8K leading up to the Great Aloha Run my pace per mile was 11:29. In my five mile “stress test” earlier today I [...]
