Love2Tri Alberta: October 2009
http://love2tri-alberta.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
I started doing triathlons in 2002 and have now done over a dozen including two Ironman races. Sharing my thoughts about the sport, training, and life in general is why I am here. Generally I am lazy, but somehow I manage to get the workouts done. Track my progress as I continue on to achieve a few goals and have some fun! Sunday, October 25, 2009. Have a great day! Tuesday, October 6, 2009. I still had to walk back to work and I got soaked. Always nice to spend the afternoon in wet jeans! Things have wo...

A Runner's Tale: March 2011
http://irun-michael.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Although I can recall my first jaunt like it was yesterday, spring 1990, it wasn't until 2004 that running became something verging on obsession. Life has changed immeasurably since that inaugural step; yet I still welcome that carnival of pain, loving each and every stride. Monday, March 28. Tuesday, March 22. Although I had great hand-eye coordination and stamina, my play making ability was left rather lacking. To make up for this shortfall, I would doggedly hound the other players, ultimately forc...

Garden Variety Maritime Runner: September 2010
http://garden-variety-maritime-runner.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Garden Variety Maritime Runner. Monday, September 27, 2010. With less than three weeks to the MDI marathon, I've started my taper, but not before finishing my last "really" long run of 20 miles today. That's four 20-milers over the last four weeks, and they have all felt very good. I did the long run today (Monday) rather than my normal Sunday, because yesterday I ran the Fall Classic 10k. So the 10k. Have I mentioned how much I like this race? I was happy, and even happier with my pacing. Check out ...

Garden Variety Maritime Runner: A Jack Daniels Man
http://garden-variety-maritime-runner.blogspot.com/2011/06/jack-daniels-man.html
Garden Variety Maritime Runner. Tuesday, June 21, 2011. A Jack Daniels Man. I ran the St. Andrew's Father's Day 5-miler this past Sunday, Mike's. Annual race. In the four weeks since the marathon, I haven't run very much, and it showed in my finishing time of the race . not quite breaking the 8 minute/mile pace. The course isn't easy at all, but that's a weak excuse for the poor time. He did very well! Another picture of Cam, relieved to be done, hanging out with me before the "grown ups" raced. I think ...

Quinto Sol: October 2009
http://5th-sun.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 06, 2009. The Gravity of the Downhill. The decision was made. To evaluate on the course whether or not to chase another BQ. This course has been good to me with two BQs ( 3:12:32. And 3:14:XX), both with HUGE negative splits; I knew the second half was much faster than the first. If I "felt" it, the goal was to run around 1:41:30 for the first half and negative split the second half by two minutes or more. I miss the third mile marker, but I am still running by feel and the pace seems ea...

Quinto Sol: Race Day - October 1, 2005
http://5th-sun.blogspot.com/2005/10/race-day-october-1-2005.html
Friday, October 21, 2005. Race Day - October 1, 2005. I was to use this race as a Boston Qualifier. To say the least my expectations were high. I had done the training; I was ready. However, anxiety was getting the best of me and had two consecutive bad nights. Not only were the sleepless nights a bad omen, the lack of sleep made me feel tired before the race. Oh and I did qualify for Boston. Yeah, life is good! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Whole Lot of Soles. Race Reports of Note.

Quinto Sol: The Fall in New York
http://5th-sun.blogspot.com/2009/11/fall-in-new-york.html
Sunday, November 08, 2009. The Fall in New York. Fast forward to November 1st. . and my last day on antibiotics. I head to the green corral even though it's supposed to be closed. I am allowed to enter it; I move my way forward as much as possible. It's not nearly as windy as last year. I spot Dean Karnazes; he looks thinner than I remember. I ended up waiting 30 minutes. I don't know. Instinct I guess. Miles 3 and 4 in 16:43. Still feeling good. I was proven right once I entered Manhattan. Mile 22, ...

Quinto Sol: Rome Marathon - Vini, Vidi, Vinci
http://5th-sun.blogspot.com/2006/04/rome-marathon-vini-vidi-vinci.html
Monday, April 03, 2006. Rome Marathon - Vini, Vidi, Vinci. I had hopes of staying in the city center but lo and behold, when I tried to book a hotel recommended by a friend, it was full. So I ended up staying in a B&B about 5K south of the EUR FERMI station and whose owners are really wonderful people. I was then given a coupon to pick up my book-bag (rather nice) which contained some goodies and a t-shirt. The way the organizers seeded runners was in four corrals. Corral A was for elites, B for bibs...

Quinto Sol: Flying Bacon - May 2006
http://5th-sun.blogspot.com/2006/05/flying-bacon-may-2006.html
Tuesday, May 30, 2006. Flying Bacon - May 2006. This 'thon was to be the third one in six weeks with Boston being the meat of the sandwich. During my flight to Indy, I seriously considered switching to the half, but I wanted the bigger medal :-). So my plan was to stay with the 3:30 pace group for as long as possible. The cannon booms and we’re off. It takes just over 30 seconds to cross the start. The first mile goes by fairly quickly and the effort seems just about right, 8:09. The fi...I am running wi...
