Clearly, I have not been blogging. Why? Most likely because I’ve bored myself silly with posting the mundane facts of my training sessions and trying to stretch them into something newsworthy had become comical at best, and annoying, at worst. How many different ways can I describe the joy of hill repeats, tempo runs, etc.? Unlike much more interesting, hilarious and consistent bloggers, I blog only when I have something unique to offer. Lately, I have not had anything compelling to share. In a way, this is good. Training continues rolling along (for the most part) without highs or lows. Chopping the wood. As such, I took a hiatus … not from the workouts (blasphemy), but from describing them. Unless something truly noteworthy occurs, I’ll save you from the nuts and bolts of my daily regimen. If you are paralyzingly bored interested in this aspect of marathon training, you can dig into the gory details of my training log (link below).
For example, last Saturday, I kind of had a tune-up race. You can read the good, bad and ugly here. Suffice it to say that while I PR’d by 6 minutes, I learned a valuable lesson.
So, with 29 days to go until New York, where is my head? I’m not letting you off that easy. Come back tomorrow as I intend to start opening up about the mind game as we get nearer to the Day. :-)
