• Up Early…

  
  — Authority:
  Strangely enough, I usually wake up very early the day after a long running or walking event. I sleep soundly, but for a shorter period of time. Today I was wide awake at 3:30 AM. I am sorer than expected. Not bad, and not as sore as after a good marathon; that is probably because what I did was really a glorified ...

• My New Favorite Fuel! Honey Stinger Waffles

  
  — Authority:
  Skitz Pick I’ve seen these “waffles”on shelves at sporting good stores for awhile but thought they sounded horrible. When I think of waffles, I think of soft, moist and doughy.

• Readjusting expectations

  
  — Authority:
  Today’s workout : 5.1 mile run in 51:20 (25:47/25:32); note: half way is net downhill. It was drizzly and cool (low 60′s). My legs were heavy at the start. Reason? Either the light squats yesterday, OR eating the hash browns at dinner last night; I walked about 2.7-3 miles with my group and then had dinner ...

• Plan B

  
  — Authority:
  Yesterday I completed my final “test” walk in a series of trial walks that started a month ago to see if training for a future marathon might be doable. The plan was to do the Portland marathon this October ( my 3rd time) and then hopefully obtain a qualifying time to enter Boston in 2014 . By pacing myself, the ...

  It has been a while since I last pampered myself. I think.

  As a travel/running blogger, I am constantly looking for ways in which runners can travel to races for free (or at least, for less than the cost of the race itself).
