| Location: Ft. Riley,KS,U.S.A Member Since: Feb 06, 2011 Gender: Male Goal Type: Boston Qualifier Running Accomplishments: My first attempt at long distance as an adult.
Kirkuk, Iraq Half Marathon- 1:48:?? forgot seconds. Short-Term Running Goals: I will be entering the Eisenhower Marathon in Abilene, KS. This will be my first marathon and I'm pretty ambitious. I want to qualify for Boston.
I want to run 3:05 for Eisenhower, but ultimately want run sub 3:00 by the end of 2011. Long-Term Running Goals: As far as long term goals I would like just to stay healthy and injury free....and fast!
Qualify for the Iron Man Tri in Kona and finish in spectacular fashion! Personal: I'm currently in the Army and I love that I'm faster than all my Soldiers (who are a lot younger than me). It just seems the older I get the faster I am.
I'm deployed, but I should be back in the states pretty soon.
Being in the Army definitely puts a toll on family and unfortunately I'm divorced, but I have a beautiful daughter who melts my heart. |

Today was the start of my marathon training with a buddy of mine. We started out just with a light jog and set no goal just run to shake the cobb webs. We are training for the Eisenhower Marathon in Abilene, KS 9 APR 2011. It is about 11 weeks away...tooo easy. Well I say that now.

Today I did a speed workout. I warmed up for half a mile and then did 6 x 800 meters. I was trying to run each 800 at a 10K pace of 6:41 mins per mile. After each interval I jogged 400 meters. I then ran half a mile after the interval training.

3rd 800- 3:19 mins

Today I felt ok. My calves have been a little sore, so I took a lil longer to stretch them. I have a training partner and today I was running with him on his marathon pace for 4 miles. His pace is a lil slower than mine, but I think my calves were tight and thats why I took it easy at first. The 5th mile I picked it up a little and the 6th was definitley close to my marathon pace.

I tried to run at MP (Marathon Pace) but only did it for my first mile. I woke up a lil later, kind of threw off my schedule and was late meeting my running partner.
I felt real groggy this morning from the muscle relaxers last night.But the stubborn soreness from my calves and right knee were gone.
After the run I felt good, but my calves let me know they were still there and didn't approve me pushing the rest of the body.

After about 6 hrs of sleeping I woke up and tossed and turned until I had to get up and meet my training partner. We started an hour later than we usually start, he says heS busy...whatever...lol. We decided to go easy today. At about mile 4 or 5 a loud boom erupted, then two more smaller ones. I didnt run any faster but it startle me a lil.
I also won my first road bike on ebay and should be waiting for me when I get back! Can't wait to ride it.

Warmed up today on the elliptical for 1 mile and then stretched before hitting the road. I ran the little loop which is 4.7 miles then added a lil more to complete 5. It was windy, but it was nice. In the middle if the run caught myself going a lil fast, so I slowed down (just a lil bit, what can I say I felt good). All in all good training.

Today was "Speed" day. Rounded up a few other people who said they wanted to train with me. They didn’t look as happy as I looked at the being of speed day. We did 6 x 800, with a 400 meter jog in between each. As we were jogging during our warming up, another unit was about to conduct their running portion of the PT test on the track. The Soldiers were stretching and lining up at the start. I couldn’t resist and I jumped in the starting line. I took off when the NCOIC said go and there went my training pace out the window. I was deciding if I was going to do mile repeats instead, but at the last second didn't. But my first 2 x 800's were pretty fast and it was fun.

Picked up another training partner today, so now the "wolf pack" is up to 3. We went for an easy 6'er. We all felt good and decided to to run the last two at MP pace. The new guy was was on my heels after the 4th mile, so I picked it up. The "pup" started to fall back and made me run faster. Even though it was just training...I just couldn't let it go...lol. Good run pup!

The "Wolf Pack" reunited for a little 8 mile run. The morning was absolutely beautiful. Once I hit the start button on the 405, I knew it was going to be a good run. We took off a lil fast but then settled down to a good pace. I had no aches whatsoever and the "Pack" stayed tight throughout the run.

Organized a Half-marathon for those who missed it, and one last push to do a PR. Only had 5 takers though, including myself. We did the same route as the half-marathon my unit organized back in November. It was raining, windy, and overcast….just the perfect conditions for a race….lol. We were supposed to do it on the 24th but due to OPTEMPO and mission requirements we had to do it today. We took off with a slight headwind, but soon it became a tailwind and I started making progress. I felt good the whole time, well rested- probably cuz the 5K I was scheduled to run got cancelled yesterday…so I just took the day off. Around mile 9 though I was day dreaming and had to get back on pace, probably thinking about going home…lol. My goal was just to beat my last attempt back in November even though it wasn’t going to be official, but real enough for me. My last time on this course was 1:48.?? and today I smoked it with a time of 1:37.02-AP 07:24! Oh yeah, I came in 1st……lol.

Stayed up real late receiving the new guys equipment and packing up my own. Got out of work close to 0200 and had to be in at 0600 for lay outs for customs. After the container was sealed I took some me time and went on a lil run to loosen my legs from my half marathon glory. Legs were tight but it felt good just getting back on the road pondering about going home and seeing my daughter. And also thinking it would be nice running on different routes as well.

Tired legs + winds+ hills = Epic fail on tempo run @ marathon pace.
I started off with a 1.01 warm-up and was unsure of the route since I really didnt know it. If I knew it had so many hills I would of opted for a flatter route. I took off and hit my first mile and a lil fast on my second. After that though it was all downhill (and uphill too lol).I was going to run 7 miles but my legs couldnt take no more.

| After a nice nap. I decided to get my interval training done. It was raining all day and temp was dropping,but luckly the rain let up to let me get my workout on. I did 3 x 2 miles intervals with a 800 meter jog/rest. I started with a 1 mile w/u around the track. Everything was going fine until my garmin lost power after my second 2 miler. I ran the last one in the blind, but at least I did it. Didn't to the last 800 meter rest, just walked over to my car cuz I was cold. 1st interval 12:19.93 @ 06:10 AP 2nd interval 13:11.39 @ 06:36 AP 3rd interval don't know but I did it...lol |

Just took it easy after my interval workout, and also wanted to run in the shoes I'm racing in. Nothing fancy today just slow and easy.

Gosh it was beautiful today, and my MP day. I ran on the Linear Trail, which was my first time, and let me tell you its amazing. First off it's flat, so I had no excuses for hitting my splits...lol. Its 9 miles long so I cant wait to run there on my long day. Scenic views, wildlife, and people makes for a great run. Oh and today I finally got internet, so my post wont be so far and few.
Started off with a 1.02 mile w/u and ended with a 1.21 mile cool down.

I was running in the shorts I'm running Eisenhower in and started chafing. I bought some body glide, but is there another way to stop it. I usually wear compression shorts when I run, not today...lol Also I got my rode bike fitted to me today, so after the run and since it was a beautiful day I rode 13 miles on it. This is my first bike, first ride and my start to a triathlon. |

Another beautiful day but just a tad bit windy for my liking still better than cold. Nugged out a lil 8 mile run after receiving my household goods. Calves were a little tight probably from the bike ride. Watched the 2008 Ford/Ironman Tri on Hulu last night and thats all I thought about on the run...lol. Cool down 0.36 miles

Woke up this morning for a 12 mile run. I started of ok then around 2.5 miles I started have chafing pain from riding my bike a few days ago. So at mile 3 stopped and walked 1.4 miles back to the barracks. I felt disappointed and it killed me mentally.
After running a few errands, eatting, nap, and gops of vasoline, I was ready to try again. Opted for a lil shorter distance since I have a big run day tomorrow and just did 9 miles.
1st Attempt- 4.4 miles- 45:56, AP 10:27 ...epic fail!
2nd Try- 9 miles-1:11:52, AP 07:59 with splits 07:40, 07:47, 07:43, 08:01, 07:57, 07:50, 08:26, 08:20, 08:03

Today seemed to be a crappy day for training. Partly cloudy, temp 38-41 degrees, 12 mph winds out of the NE. I put off my long day this morning since it didn’t look so promising outside. Then after lunch I logged in to the Blog and started seeing everyone’s miles already posted (seeaprilrun especially impressive). That motivated me to run the longest distance I've ever ran in my life. I was just going to do 16 but I felt good when I started, so I thought what the heck lets go longer.
I ran on the Linear Trail again...nice and flat, with a lot of trees to break the wind. At the 9 mile turn around the winds died down significantly....and what a relief! At mile 14 it started to sleet/rain and I popped in my head phones for a lil extra motivation.
After the watch was stopped my legs felt like rubber and I could barely walk back to my truck. What a great feeling!

After banging out 18 miles yesterday my legs were pretty tired, but I just wanted to go on a lil run to loosen them up. At 3.36 miles my garmin died and I guesstimated I was about a mile away from the barracks. I have to remember to charge that thing.

AM-PT started again and I was in charge of the "fast group". So myself and two other Soldiers ran around the airfield smoking the rest of the Troop. We looked like heroes when the rest of the Troop was cooling down (probably there for 15 mins cuz they did only did 2 miles) as we just showed up out of the cold night.

PM-Today was also my interval day. Goal was to run 6x1600 with a 400 meter jog/rest between sets at 10 seconds faster than MP. After the 5th 1600 and 400 m I just could not go anymore. My calves started becoming real sore and just couldn't put them through that pain. I also started having some discomfort on the outside of my right big toe. I think it might be an ingrown toenail....ahhhhh...nooooo! People were on he track today, so my splits were me just showing off, maybe thats why I couldn't complete it today..too fast.....lol
