Training Journal – 5/12/13:

  • Current plan: Horseshoe Lake 50K Training Plan
  • Today’s session: 12 mile trail run
  • Comments: I ran 14.5 up in Alum Rock at an 11:46 pace.  Felt great and I’m learning to correctly pace myself on trails vs. road…just in time for next week’s 50K!  I fast walked the final .75 miles as my right knee started bugging me.  It’s fine now, just thought I’d nurse it at the end…  “Dude of the Day” award goes to the dad I saw mountain biking “with” his daughter.  Kicker was, he was pulling her in a bike trailer up/down/along the fire roads at killer pace…doing laps (i know this because I saw him several times as I made my way throughout the park.)

Kicked

May 7, 2013 — Leave a comment

The stomach flu has summarily kicked my behind the past 48 hours. I cannot remember being this sick – I even violated my “idontbarf” policy.

I’m definitely looking forward to a return to normalcy tomorrow…

Training Journal – 5/5/13:

  • Current plan: Big Sur Marathon Recovery Week (haha) / Horseshoe Lake 50K Training Plan
  • Today’s session: 20 mile trail run
  • Comments: At about mile 15, I did a “systems check” and wasn’t feeling a “20 miler” today, so I only did 18. Today was really about the time running, as I wanted to be out for four hours in prep for my 50K. I was out for 3:38:31 (doing a 12:04 overall pace avg / 11:26 moving pace avg) and did a mix of running, jogging and fast walking. Sheesh, you’d think I’d run a marathon a week ago or something!  I’m hoping a taper week ahead of my 50K will be the difference – I did run 24.15 miles this week after my marathon.  We’ll see!

We made a quick trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium today. Out of all that’s there, it’s the jellies that I could stare at for hours…

Captivating…
oh yeah, they have seahorses too…

When I got to Boccardo Peak on my run yesterday (elev. 1896′), I used an app called 360 Panaorama to capture a 360 shot.

Postcard On The Run

March 18, 2013 — Leave a comment

On my outbound flight last week, I read about the Postcard On The Run app in the Southwest Airlines Magazine. It was free, so I downloaded it and used it while in San Antonio to send my wife a postcard of a picture I took on my morning run.
Pretty cool for $1.49!
