Project 14Forty: January Update

January 29, 2017

This weekend may end up being the make-or-break weekend of Project 14Forty.  It wasn’t supposed to be that way as I was only scheduled for 6 miles (5 Saturday, 1 Sunday).  When I created the training plan, I had a tough time trying to figure out the11 weeks between Phunt 50K and Umstead.  I’ve been doing…

Managing Expectations

January 25, 2017

I don’t mean to do it.  I really don’t, but I have a habit of letting my expectations get out of hand.  I typically set out with reasonable targets and goals for myself, however along the way they start to grow.  First a little here.  Then a little more there.  The next thing I know,…

2017 Phunt 50K Race Report

January 18, 2017

I really need to stop setting time goals for myself.  I had gotten it into my mind that this was a race that I could PR despite the facts that I’m now 2 years older than I was back then and logging fewer miles (366 miles over past 10 weeks vs. 455) these days.  So…

1/7/17 MAF Test

January 7, 2017

I headed out to the Unionville HS track this morning for my monthly MAF test.  I haven’t posted about my last couple because my HR monitor has been measuring screwy and I haven’t been happy with the results.  One of the tests was so bad, it ended up being a complete waste of my time. …

100 Miler Wish List

January 5, 2017

You may find this surprising, but according to Run100s.com (my go-to reference for all things 100 miles) there are about 150 races in North America that are 100 miles in length.  This is up about 50% from when I first started researching the distance 4 years ago.  Heck, three of the races that I’ve done…

Digits: Year of 2016

January 1, 2017

Happy New Year! I love numbers with a passion that’s a little creepy.  This leads me to track just about everything I can, especially running related.  I have several spreadsheets that I use to track my running and cross training activities.  I haven’t really done much with this data yet, but it’s nice to use…
