http://connect.garmin.com/activity/342873347 So today was a relaxed recovery run on the CRS 5 Mile loop. Started the run at 6:00am and it was already hot here. The run felt nice and easy. It was actually tough to keep the pace easy as I have been thinking about the trip and of course the race. Tomorrow […]

Last Long Run – 12 Miles with 4 Tempo Miles
So today was my last long run before heading to Israel. Coach Marino had me run a 12 mile run today with 4 miles at tempo. It rained cats and dogs last night so the canal was muddy and flooded in a few spots making the footing not optimal. Once again Hunter Smith and Jeff […]
8 Mile Run with the Young Guns
GarminConnect Data Really getting close now. This is the last weekend before I fly over to Israel. Today Coach Marino had me run 8 miles. I had two young runners join me. Hunter Smith, who I coached at Council Rock South as a high school runner and who now runs at at Dickinson, and Jeff […]
An Early Morning Relaxed 11 Miles – Getting Close Now
http://connect.garmin.com/dashboard?cid=18305526 Today Coach Marino had me run a 80 minute run. He had worked on my hamstring yesterday and today it felt much better. I felt a little something but I think that was just soreness from the graston technique he perform on my hamstring. I had to get the run in early today so […]
70 Minute Run – Hammy still a bit sore
So tonight I had a 70 minute run in some decent heat, 86F and humid. The right hammy is still not 100%. I am “aware” of it but it is not altering my stride or causing me any pain. That said I was thinking about it each step so I am clearly not where […]
A Scare but Back on Track!
So Sunday was to be my last long run 18 miles. I ran hard and in brutal heat Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I felt good going into Sunday and thought I had hydrated properly. I had been taking electrolyte pills with plenty of water and that morning had filled water bottles with water with […]
Another Hot One! 10 Miles with 6 x 2min @ 6min/mi Pace..
The heat wave continues! This is good for my training for the Maccabiah Half Marathon. I started earlier but on the canal it was already hot and humid. Again, I have been working hard to hydrate properly. Today’s workout was 10 miles with 6 x 2 min at 6 min/mile pace. Due to the […]
Heat Acclimation Run!
For today’s run Coach Johnny had on the schedule an 8 mile run. I ran this at lunch to take advantage of the 90F heat. I have been making sure that I am hydrating and using electrolyte supplements as well. This seems to be working. Also being the middle of the day I made […]
Revolutionary Run – A Final Test in Brutal Conditions
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/337366272 So the plan had my final pre Maccabiah race as the Rev Run which is a 10K in Washington’s Crossing. I chose this race even though I hate it. It is not well organized and the race is run by the local business association not a running club or racing organization and it shows. […]
An Easier Start to the Week with July 4th 10K in View
So the beginning of this week was a bit easier. The goal here is back off just a touch to hopefully race well on July 4th as my last tune up before the Maccabiah Games. After the race on the 4th I will ram back up for a short bit before I begin to sharpen […]
