There will be pictures later, from Marathon Foto. I may even buy the post-race I-can-has-medal shot. Splits, for those of you who didn't follow ilanarama 's lead and look them up at the official website (I've taken the trouble of adjusting them for the 20 seconds between race start and me crossing the starting line): 10k - 0h49m42s, halfway - 1h47m13s, 30k - 2h37m54s, finish 3h54m55s. ...

I was talking with That One Friend[1] about maybe doing the Dublin City Marathon as far back as February this year. I'd found a three days a week, 16-week training plan that pretty much gave me the luxury of not deciding to start training properly until about July, and in the mean time I figured I'd go ahead and do the Adidas Race Series (5 mile, 10 mile and half-marathon races, a month apart) as...

...I could actually feel my legs. Bad juju. My hips were already hurting. I finally forced myself to slow down around Mile 10. But my pain was just getting worse and worse. Even though I clocked a 1/2 marathon time of 2h2m, my second 1/2 was much worse. Starting at about mile 17 both my hips seized up, and I could barely keep going. So I walked for about a 1/4 mile and then started shuffling along for...

...over-exaggeration from the news today stating that the lake district nearly became a 'morgue' was just the comic relief i needed to cheer me up after all the new equipment i bought for the mountain marathon went unused because for the first time ever it was cancelled due to the weather. My new North Face Waterproof Jacket was really put to the test this weekend and I'm happy to say that despite...

I just ran the Marine Corps Marathon today, and it was FANTASTIC! The weather was spectacular, the course was great, and my body and mind made me proud. I’ll get into the specifics below, but suffice it to say that I PR’d (I set a personal record) of approximately 3:32. I don’t know my exact time yet, because I’m not hooked up to the internet at the moment. But it was by far my best marathon time ever...

I went to a great performance last night, celebrating David Kim who has been the concertmaster at the Philadelphia Orchestra for ten years. He was the soloist in the middle two pieces from this program...weekend, and then this 21-miler where my pace was faster and I just felt not as crappy near the end. Plus it is beautiful running through Wissahickon Park in the fall; a lot of the trees are changing

Had best SGA marathon ever, getting through eleven episodes, I think it was, starting from DUET and ending at GRACE UNDER PRESSURE. Yep, season two, people. I've not watched beyond season two just yet. It was an awesome time, but unfortunately, I think my brain is blanking on some details of what I saw all through yesterday night to this morning.. But then again, that may have to do with the fact...

I finished the marathon at approximately the slow pace I intended. It was really awesome, but I'll writ about it more later. Steaks await!
