Back to Training
With summer upon us, I'm back to training and looking forward to some summer fun runs and preparing for the fall race season. So far, I'm registered to run the Let's Run, Have Some Fun series in Cambridge. The series has 4 races, each with a different music theme, after-party, and band.I'm also excited to report that Speedy Ima and I picked up our brand new B.O.B. ironman running stroller. I took Speedy for a rollerblade trip last Wednesday afternoon and if the weather holds, we'll be going out for another 12 miles tonight. I suspect that pushing that extra 40-50 pounds of weight while still going fast enough to pass most everyone on the path will help my training. Hopefully, Speedy will continue to giggle as the world flies by while we are out. This weekend, I'll take him out for a short run and start building from there.
This time around, I'll be posting a weekly training schedule so that I can stay accountable and motivated. I can say that there will be some changes to my approach -- lots more jumping, speed work, and flexibility drills. The focus will be on speed and form this time around. I feel like I'm in a good place to build distance for the BAA Half-Marathon this fall and want to focus on lowering my 5K pace over the summer.
Finally, my friend Blair successfully completed her first marathon in San Diego over the weekend while raising money for Teddy's Team -- YAY BLAIR!!!!!!!!!

Glad to see your summers going well...my wife and I have the BOB double for our two kids...it’s a great jogging stroller and it makes for great resistance training =) Good luck with your up-coming races!!
I noticed you have not posted in a while, and I hope your knee is holding up for you. I love the Boston area, and have been blessed enough to run the Boston Marathon in 2000, 2001 and 2002. If you get a chance, please visit my running web site, Faithful Soles (be sure while you are there to read The Greatest Marathoner, it will really inspire you in your marathon training). I have a categorized and searchable Running Blog Database on there and would appreciate it if you would link your blog to it. I also have my own blog, but most of my information is on the main web site. Thanks and continued good luck in your training.
