Just trying to keep the running going - it can be tough. I've got 30 miles to do this week and have a floating 10 in there somewhere - it was Wednesday then moved to Thursday but now will probably be Saturday. 5 on Sunday, 4 on Monday, Tuesday I was a bit tired so I went out to dinner with people, which left 21 miles to be run in 4 days. Then the social invitations started coming in - Friday is a going away for someone, now so is Thursday for someone else, and Saturday is Saturday. Have to run on Wednesday but then I get a call to go out to the pub. Nope.. not gonna do it. I'm running.
Had to eat first because I was quite hungry so I was holding off my run until 8pm, went out did the 5, felt pretty good. Now I have 16 miles left, 2-3 nights of going out in a row, and 2 8am meetings in a row. Let's do an early morning 6 on Thursday to try to stay ahead.
I set the alarm for 5:30, got out of bed at 5:43, wandered around the apartment until I sort of woke up, checked email, planned my route on usatf.org, and hit the road around 6:10. 40 minutes from alarm to running - I'm going to have to work on that. Not quite the 4am 7 miler and be at work by 7 that I used to do in Boston.
But I kicked out the 6 along the beach, am at 20 for the week, can do the 10 on Saturday, and go out the next 2 nights.
Between 8pm Wed and 7am Thurs I ran a 5 and a 6 and that's what the 11 in 11 is.

Mid-Week Break
The work week has come to an end and it's time to get the party started...well not technically until tomorrow night. I head up to Attitash tomorrow night for a day on the slopes Sunday. I just hope the weather decides to warm up past the 1 degree that it made it to today. Pray for me!
Since I am outie for the weekend I thought I would take this opportunity to update my log of workouts from this past week.
Sunday I did in fact hit the dreadmill for 60 minutes of hills at the gym and if it weren't for a few unmentionable moments during those 60 minutes it would have been an almost perfect run. I would have also been able to determine how far I actually went.
Monday night it was back up to North Hampton for my weekly soccer game. We thought we had it in the bag, but for some unknown reason we lost. The untouchable team was actually taken down. We all had a hard time dealing with this one. On a more positive note, I have to say it was one of my best sprint workouts though! I also scored two goals and had a couple of assists, but in the end we lost by 1.
Tuesday was a late night at work and just came home to crash.
Wednesday was another run at Nike Town. I know I pointed this out in an old post, but I feel it needs repeating. This running group is pretty cool. With exception to one girl (and yes, of course it is a girl) everyone that runs is so laid back and friendly. There are no attitudes, it is free, running around the charles is gorgeous at night, it is free, they provide food and water, did I mention it was free? I just found out during this run that you can earn free stuff and win free sneaks! Next week is this months raffle and as long as you run that night you are eligible for the prize. The odds are pretty good too...about 30 to 1. Not to shabby considering all you have to do is show up.
Thursday ended up being an off night. Met up with some friends at the Pour House for dinner and it was on to King's for a night of bowling after that.
Tonight even in the 1 degree weather I packed my bag and headed to the gym after work. Although it was only a 30 minute run it still counts.
Oh I forgot to mention that I actually learned something about the "adidas"(pronounced "adi-das" and not "uh-de-dus" - I actually learned that in high school from one of the German exchange students) and Puma brands while doing our stretches before the Nike Town run. Sibling rivalry goes a long way in this case and if you are from or know anyone that is from Herzogenaurach, Germany than you know where I am going with this. The Adidas name was not actually created until 1948. It originally started out as Dassler shoes and was created in the 1920's by the Dassler brothers, Adolf better known as "Adi" and Rudolf. They started the company out of their mother's wash room.
Anyhow, sometime after World War I or II (I keep getting conflicting time frames when I do the research) the two brothers had a falling out that was irreversible. They had a history of not getting along and with the war their arguments became more intense. The fact that one of the brother's formed a closeness to the Nazi cause didn't aide the situation.
In 1948, the two brothers finally parted ways to form their own companies..."Addas" and "Ruda". It didn't take long for those names to change to "Adidas" and "Puma". If you can't see it, the name Adidas is Adolf's better known name combined with a portion of his last name. Where "Ruda" came from is beyond me.
This is the part where the story gets good. No, they didn't happen to have a life altering moment and decide to put it all in the past with a big warm fuzzy hug. Instead they actually have a town, country and history changing moment.
You see, not only did their seperation cause a change in the company, it also caused a change within the town. After they split Rudolf headed across the river to start Puma while Adi stayed put. What were the town members to do you might ask? Even though it was post-war and this was the striving business of the town loyalties and politics ran thick. It was easy for the brothers to avoid each other because they were separated by a river. But as I noted loyalties and politics ran thick so believe it or not this town was also split in two. This is a statement from Frank Dassler, the grandson of Rudolf,:
"There was an Adidas butcher and a Puma butcher. If there was a chance to avoid being in the same class as another Adidas person, from the Puma perspective, then we certainly tried to avoid this. Certainly, the restaurants were split, so there was a typical Adidas hotel or Adidas restaurant and the other guys didn't want to go there"
Crazy isn't it? Well, it is not the first time I have seen such a huge rivalry between brothers, the Telemachus brothers to be exact. If you are from the New England area you may have heard of the two grocery stores "Market Basket" and "Demoulas". In this case, the two brothers had no arguments or ill-will toward each other and it wasn't until one of the brothers died (1972) that family fights ensued. Some of the history can be seen at Wikipedia

Today is a new day
Last week definitely did not go as planned. It was a strong start and a strong death. As you know last Sunday I ran 2 hours in the muddy trails of Bald Hill followed by my first run of the snowboarding season. After that I had great intentions to finish the week strong. I just didn't realized how strongly my body felt in putting it's efforts into not doing anymore exercise.
I had great intentions for meeting up with Nike Town on Wednesday, even though they were only reporting 15 degrees, my bag was packed and I stayed late at work. This is where my mistake was made. I ended up working on a presentation that I was to give on Friday with a coworker. We were intent on getting the presentations materials done that night and well I lost track of time. Since I was so intent on running that night I figured I could just head to the gym instead. Of course this did not happen. My bag was packed for the cold, fierce, frigid air of the night and that meant I would have to go home and change. In route to heading home I also realized I was desperate to fill my cupboards with food. The food one and I stopped at the grocery store instead. The rest of the week went down from there.
Today, is a new day and a new week. After doing some cleaning, finding out that my sink drain has a leak and paying some bills I suited up and headed for the gym today. After quite a few obstacles on the dreadmill I finally completed my 60 minute hill run and set the bar for the week. As I mentioned I had a few obstacles on the treadmill and for this reason I have no idea what my mileage was. I could be upset by this, but what would that get me, instead I am just happy I did it. Hopefully next time I won't have to endure the same scenarios as today.
Sunday: 60 minute hill run (dreadmill)
Monday: Soccer
Tuesday: Dreadmill again...for how long...that I am not sure of yet.
Wednesday: Nike Town (most likely 3.5 mile)
Thursday: Dreadmill again, but this time it may just be to walk.
Friday: Off
Saturday: Off - heading to Attitash
Sunday: Sailing down the slopes of Attitash...yippee!
Countdown to the Vermont 100: 179 days

First 10 miler of 2007
I'm back. Ok, just like every year I claimed that this would be "the big year" for running. And why not? Sure others have failed in the past but look what I got going for me - A) the year starts in the summer when the runnings good B) the winter isn't very cold C) I don't have to travel that much for work and can attempt to run while I'm doing personal travel and D) there just can't be too many things that disrupt my schedule while I'm down here.
My other problem is that I change my running all the time - I'm going to record every .1 mile; I'm never going to record my distance; I'm only running for fun; I need to break my PR; I'm going to be an ultra runner; I'm concentrating on 10 milers; I'm a trailrunner; I'm a mountainrunner - you get the point. But this year I have two goals and I think I can accomplish both:
1) Break 1500 miles for the year (that's a little less than 30 miles per week).
2) BQ at the Melbourne Marathon in October.
So how did the year start out? It was atrocious. The first two weeks I couldn't get it together. The first week I ran 13 miles and the second I ran 8. But I picked it up this week, Sunday night I ran a good paced 5 and Monday night ran a strong, comfortable, and confident 10. I was able to keep my speed down, which can be a problem for me since my most efficient stride is around 7:30 min/mile but found one at about 8:30 min/mile. I worked on my stance a bit, I've been leaning back a lot lately so I tried out a slight forward lean that sort of pulls me forward.
The main goal for the year is the BQ and I have a lot of work to do for that, especially road work, but that doesn't mean that I'm not going to have some fun. I have trails, mountains, and beaches all around me and I plan on using them.
This week:
S - 5mi (done)
M - 10mi (done)
T - off (work)
W - 6mi
T - 4mi
F - 5mi
S - off (tour of Melbourne)
And either Wednesday or Thursday will be in the trails at Lysterfield park.

Just another day in the wet woods
I woke up a little on the frantic side this morning because I thought I had overslept. You've gotta love it when you are in a deep sleep and you hear the alarm and know that it is not the first time it has gone off! I popped right out of bed and ran straight to the closet because the next thing to figure out, after trying to figure out how I slept through my alarm, was what to wear.
The temp was just over 30 degrees and misty. Even though it was a bit on the chilly side I still opted for some capri's, short sleeves and a hoodie. Thankfully I packed my mittens, swix earmuffs (love them!) and a knitted hat, otherwise it would have been a miserable day. Even though people questioned my bare ankles, I have to say they were a pretty decent choice. My body was perfectly dressed for the run. :)
We headed out onto Bald Hill just past Cheryl and Eddies house in Boxford, MA. There were two groups, I opted for Jimmy's group that was doing 20 minutes on and 5 off. We ran mostly on the Bay Circuit, but there were a few times where we deviated from the the Circuit to venture off on some new trails.
It was misty, cold, wet and not quite miserably muddy, but definitely incredibly muddy! The shoes went out dry, but the feet definitely came back wet!
I am not sure about the distance we ran, if you can believe it I forgot to ask. I do know I ran 1:59:27 :) I am suspecting we did 8 to 10 miles, but that is just a guess.
The forecast for the week:
Monday: Sunday River for the first run of the season...keep your fingers crossed for me.
Tuesday: Off day
Wednesday: Nike Town
Thursday: Potentially going to hit BRG for a night of climbing
Friday: ?
Saturday: ?

To bag or not to bag?
I am not going to lie, I packed my bag yesterday morning to give the whole Nike Town Run Club a shot, but work was super boring yesterday and I really had nothing major to do by the afternoon. Did I contemplate bagging the run to just head home and go to the gym?
For about a half a second I really did. It wasn't because I didn't think I could do it or that it was only peaking (if I was lucky) 30 degrees. It was merely the thought of what can I do to kill the time till the run starts. Thankfully I had my book in my bag and pulled it out to read a few pages.
Up until this point I hadn't given much thought to what I was in store for and that is not typically me. For some reason I really think I just didn't care and wanted to give it a shot. If they were all record breaking runners, well then at least I knew where I was in the city and could bail at a moments notice to continue on with my own run.
At about 6:15 pm I headed on over to Nike Town...about a block from my office. Sweet! Once I got there I have to say I was a bit indifferent to what I saw. I know you can't judge a book by it's cover, believe me this much I do truly know, especially when you are talking about what the typical runner looks like. You may laugh, but I can guarantee that there is someone out there that could kick your butt quite easily and you would have never know it to just look at them because they were 2 or 3 times your size and/or age! Well, those people weren't at Nike Town last night...these were your typical very fit and in shape runners. Needless to say, since this was my first time in quite some time that I was back in the running scene, it did make me a bit peakish to think "am I going to be able to keep up with these people?".
After everyone had arrived (around 30 people), they set up tables with water, oranges, bagels, running logs, vests in case you forgot one, a box of clothes in case you didn't pack properly and reflective stickers should you want to wear those instead of the vest. I was very, very impressed by all this because it was also all free! Yes, can you believe it? I know I couldn't. Nothing is for free these days, especially a running club in Beantown.
After everyone logged in the store associates had cleared a part of the store so that we could do a group stretch and exercise before the run. Once that was done you formed your groups (depending on the distance you logged in for 3.5, 4.5-5 or 7.5 miles) and headed out. Since this was day one for me I opted for the nice distance of, you guessed it 7.5 miles! If you believed that, then you're the crazy one! I chose 3.5 miles and ran with two other newbies. One girl joined that night and another the week before.
Although it was butt cold out! I am not really sure where that phrase ever came from or if it even makes sense, but it was butt cold out...especially when we ran across the Mass. Ave. bridge! The head wind was killer! Once we crossed the bridge we took a right on Memorial Drive and ran to the Longfellow Bridge, which we used to cross back over the river . We followed the Charles back to the Dartmouth footbridge and headed back to the store to end the run. Even though it was rather freezing the views from Memorial Drive were beautiful and it was a very peaceful run.
All in all I am super happy with the night and will be joining them again next week. Everyone was super nice and too boot Shane the coordinator provided three large boxes of Luna bars for us to fill our bags with! :)
Oh, as for time I am gaging a 9:00+ pace...i didn't wear a watch (need a new battery), but the girl that ran last week said that was her pace and well I was ahead of her this week so I hope that is still true :)

So Sunday didn't go as planned
Okay Sunday was supposed to be the first training run and as you can tell by this blog's title that didn't happen. However, I did hike Mt. Chocorua. What I thought was going to be a nice 4 mile hike turned out to be around a 7+ mile hike instead.
Monday night was soccer and needless to say I along with the rest of the team I was running low on gas, but we managed to take the win!
Tonight is an off night, but tomorrow night Nike Town here I come. I am not sure what it has to offer just yet, but I am going to give it my best shot. Wish me luck!

Today is the day...
I made my way to my new gym tonight. I also learned that even though they have 40 treadmills, there are 40 people to fill them at the 6:30 hour. Similarly, there are about 40 elipticals and well same situation.
After I grabbed two magazines off the rack (forgot my iPod...oops!), I noticed that there was a stair stepper open and I was off an running. Okay so the stair stepper isn't running, but I did do 175 stairs tonight. I am not sure what that translates into miles b/c this machine didn't do the conversion. I don't feel to bad though, since my running will be in effect as of this Sunday.
The official 'Pacer" training starts this Sunday. The GAC group is getting all geared up again for the Vermont 100 training and last week kicked off the first training run. This week I am going to join them and well get my butt back in action. I am not sure what is in store for me, but bring it on cause I am ready to get back into the swing of things!

This week I am going to join them and well get my butt back in action. I am not sure what is in store for me, but bring it on cause I am ready to get back into the swing of things!
