It's been awhile!
I've been working through the shutdown and it's taken a little bit of a toll on my mental health. Motivation has been at an all-time low over the last 10 weeks. Finally getting the bug to ride. Need to start getting the bug to run. All of our races through September have been cancelled for this year, so I haven't felt the need or want to log any running miles. My bikes have been giving me plenty of smiles when I get out.
Anyone else dealing with motivation loss?
A hot and humid run yesterday. Proud of myself for getting out there. Today we paddled the Delaware River. Three of the four of us went swimming when we went over a damn. We are all ok, though, so it was a blast!
Motivation...
Who’s got it?
Where can I get some?
How much do I owe you for it?
God damn. I can’t get my ass to commit to getting back to running consistently.
Some photos from my last few adventures; Reno/Tahoe and a three day hike on the Appalachian Trail.
For those who have been following...
I ran! The whole thing! My calf wasn’t 100% coming into race day and I was concerned. I am proud to say the intense rolling I did the two weeks leading up to the race made a world of difference! I was able to accomplish two of my goals for this race; 1) run, and 2) enjoy it (pain and all!). The photos are a glimpse into the day!
For anyone curious...
Pace:Junky” is my apparel brand! I put it on all race bibs when able. :)
The details of the race...
For #8, the race and day themselves were great. Flat, fast course. Good pockets of cheering spectators. Perfect weather. I really couldn’t ask for much more! I started out too fast due to my watch mileage being off compared to the course. Once I found my rhythm, I settled in and got to business. My first half was good. Once I hit 14 things started to fall apart. The 3:45 group passed me and I knew I was about to begin a battle with my C goal of 4:00:00. From 14 all the way to the end I was battling cramping and low energy. I had to walk a few small sections to release some semi-cramped muscles. Coming into the finishing stretch down the boardwalk it was coming down to literal seconds. I pushed the last 200m as hard as I could, but came up just short of my goal; 4:00:05! Gah! I am very pleased with my time, to be honest. 4:00 is no joke in the marathon! I’ll get back to form and shoot for Boston another day. :)
All in all, GREAT race and I would recommend it to anyone! It has definitely stirred my motivation to run again. Now the question is... what’s next?
It’s Time
Sunday is the marathon. It’s been three weeks since my last long run. I’m starting to have the normal “taper panic” that comes with a road marathon for me. My calf decided to throw a wrench in the works two weeks ago. I’ve been rolling it without fail since then and it’s feeling better, but this is one issue that I won’t know my response to treatment until go time.
I had a decent training cycle, minus shorter runs. My weeks were basically summed up solely by my long run each week. I did reach 20, 19, 18, 17, and 16 in the run up to the race, but I did not have any 3, 4, or 5’s for the last month or so.
I know I’m capable of the distance. It’s the time I’m not sure of. Ive adjusted my goals accordingly:
1) Help Janet’s dad enjoy his first road marathon experience
2) Finish and be happy I completed #8
3) Enjoy the race and atmosphere
4) Sub 4:00
5) Sub 3:30
Here’s to a fun weekend and positive race!
@runhealrepeat tagged me, so here I am waiting for my a delicious cheese hoagie for lunch. I’ll throw out the sds for @shortyfitness and @athletemeetstherealworld !
Just finished this one! Third book of the year. Pumped about that. It’s an awesome read. Between this and Banff movies, all I want to do is send all of the climbs, run all of the places, and bike all of the trails!
It’s Friday y’all!
Problems, not miles
This past week was weak on running, but strong on problems. Bouldering problems! I’m beyond pumped with my climbing right now. I finally got the V6 I was working on Thursday, the V4 I was working on Friday, and the V5 I’ve been projecting for almost a month today!
Run and climb on, friends!
@athletemeetstherealworld hit me for one of those sds jams. I’m headed into the gym to crush some boulder problems!
Sunday should be a long run, as long as my body is feeling up to it. I’ve been battling a cold this past week. Here’s to hoping!
Have a great weekend y’all!
Marathon Training: Week #? (Lost track)
18 in the books for my long run yesterday. Depending on your perspective, 18 is by no means a major accomplishment. Then again, it is not something to be sneezed at. It’s all about perspective. If you hit 18 and it’s a distance PR, I’ll be the first to throw you a mega huge high fiver! For me, it’s a distance I’ve run countless times. A distance I’ve come to be comfortable with when looking at a training long run. That said, this training cycle has been less normal than others because I’m running less (frequency & mileage).
I started out yesterday with the goal of three laps around a local lake, with each lap being approximately 6 miles. I met up with another runner who was looking to do longer mileage and started an hour before my running group showed up. We had a great first lap. Lots of chatting and laughter all while setting into a solid long-run pace. The second lap saw the rest of the group joining in. We chatted with some friends we haven’t seen for some time and then the training run resumed. Lap three saw tested me slightly for the last 2-3 miles, but I felt fairly strong and capable, even though fatigue started to set in.
I am incredibly pleased with my run! I’ve roughly 7 weeks until the marathon. My goal is still to shoot for a BQ. I know it’s going to be hard. Then again, I won’t shy away from a good challenge!
what app do you use to track your run?
I have a Suunto watch and their app is called Movescount. I can track a ton of things through the app if I want. It allows you to customize what activities you can choose from on your watch, import user created apps such as MAF training, special workouts, or even how many beers your workout burned off. It works pretty well!
Marathon Training: Week 6 (or so)
Yesterday was a GREAT long run. Knocked out 16 miles and felt really good about it! I saw an adorable muskrat (I think) drinking water through a reed (no joke!), a Heron sitting on the bank about 10 feet from me, and some adorable doggos!

Yup
Fun Little Friday
Knocked out a nice 3-miler at lunch today, wrestled some pebbles (bouldering) after work with my wife and a friend, and just finished some delicious shrimp tacos.
I’ll take it!
Marathon Training: Week 5(ish?)
2+ @ lunch
9 @ night
= a good running day!
My run this afternoon was brought to you by General Tso’s Tofu. My night run was brought to you by Panic at the Disco, specifically the lines “well, technically our marriage is saved” (I don’t know if that’s the actual line, but that’s what I was singing!) and “this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne!”, and snow flurries!
When I’m able to knock out a double digit mid-week run or day I feel great about it! Accomplished. Determined. Relaxed (afterwards).
