There are those who absolutely love their insulin pumps and there are those who hate the things.  I fall somewhere in the middle.  I don’t dislike them at all, but I’m not so enamored of them that I can’t live without mine for periods of time.  There are pros and cons to [...]

Sorry for the gap since the last update.  The shortened version:  no downhill miles on Saturday (long story, suffice it to say I felt crappy) but I did 60 minutes of 5 minutes moderate and 1 minute hard; we had the arctic blast come through and are now waiting for snow tonight - [...]

Another practice session down…

MissyFoy -

Monday, January 12, 2009
I got another practice workout in today and it went just fine.  I did the 6 x 600 thingy on the flat paved road near home again.  I went ahead and timed them again today so that I could keep everyone updated on stuff (even though I said not to time them [...]

Hooray - practice workout done!

Saturday, January 10, 2009
I did the pseudo-workout today.  I ran 6 x 600 and took a full 600 recovery.  Usually, as I said in yesterday’s post, I would not time these as this was just a practice kind of workout just to get a little bit better turnover without hurting something.  I timed them today, [...]

It’s not going to be a complicated schedule.  I already have a mileage base in (minus [...]

I still have this darn cold … and I’m still stuck in the winter blahs.  So, the cold lingers … in two ways too many!  I’ve been sick since New Year’s Eve.  Exactly one week before that, on Christmas Eve, as I sat across the table from Bob, who was sick at [...]

No long run this week

MissyFoy -

Thursday, January 1, 2009
Last week I ran about 107 miles, give or take a half mile or so (not that it really matters once I have that many miles under my feet).  But, this week, I’ll skip the long run.  I was toying with the idea of a week of dropped down mileage, to be [...]
