Hi guys … I’ve been away for a little while and thought I should come back and catch up … I’ve been meaning to but have been busy.
Firstly, just to put your minds at ease, I’ve still been doing well with my healthier eating and exercise. No, I haven’t fallen apart because I’m not reporting [...]

Great Hike – Sunday Report 05.25.06
Posted in Daily Reports on May 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Today I skipped my long bike ride in the morning because I was feeling a bit sore from yesterday’s long run (plus some of the workouts from the last few days) and I decided I needed a rest. One of the things I’ve been guarding against the most is overtraining, so when I feel tired, [...]

This will be a report of my last few days of training as I’ve been a bit busy. :
Eating: I’ve been eating fairly healthy, only overeating once (went out for dinner with the wifey and had lotsa pasta and garlic bread). I’ve been eating light and actually losing weight this week! I had been gaining [...]
Long Run Saturday 05.17.08 Report
Posted in Daily Reports on May 17, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Did an 8-mile run this morning, not exactly a “long run” but the longest I’ve done since the marathon. It was so great! One interesting note is that my long run pace seems to be much faster these days, even though it seems like I’m running really easy. I’m about 2 minutes faster during my [...]
Easy, Snacking Day – Thu 05.15.08 Report
Posted in Daily Reports on May 15, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I had planned to do a medium bike ride this afternoon but skipped it … so I only did an easy four-mile run this morning. I don’t feel guilty, though, as I’m cutting back a little this week so I can be rested for my triathlon this Sunday. I’ll do the bike ride tomorrow morning.
So [...]

Hi guys … I’ve missed you all! I was away for a couple of days and couldn’t log, until yesterday. So I’m going to give you an abbreviated report for the last few days, with only yesterday’s food log if you don’t mind. :)
First, exercise … after taking a rest day on Sunday, I did [...]
Success and Frustration — Weekend Report
Posted in Daily Reports, Races on May 11, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Yesterday (Saturday) I ran a race that was both successful and extremely frustrating. I did a 5K, not as my goal race but just to see where my fitness is … and as I haven’t done a 5K since last year, I decided to try to set my PR (which as of last year was [...]

So after a recovery day on Thursday, I felt a bit tired this morning and skipped my morning workout with the option to do the same later in the day if I still felt tired. But I felt better in the afternoon and did a heavy weight workout and then a light run later.
Eating was [...]
Recovery/Cheat Day – Thu 05.08.08 Report
Posted in Daily Reports on May 8, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I was feeling tired and sore from yesterday’s hard workouts (hard run in the morning and hard bike/run in the afternoon) so I decided to give myself a rest today. I did an easy 4-mile run in the morning but skipped the weight workout (will do either Fri or Sat instead depending on how my [...]
Totally Wiped Out – Wed 05.07.08 Report
Posted in Daily Reports on May 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I started the day with a great run — a shorter tempo run where I warmed up for 2 easy miles, then did 2 miles at tempo pace (which for me is between 8:00-8:15 min/mile pace) and then another mile cooldown for 5 total miles. It was the first time I did a faster run [...]
