Hi everyone – just a quick catch up here! I’ll state right up front that the running over the past couple weeks has not been what I wanted, but I am healthy and ready to keep pushing forward. Longest run in the past couple of weeks was 13.1 miles with several shorter runs thrown in…

Hey everyone! A bit late on this update, unfortunately…but lets get going! For week 8, I had some issues with the my left ankle. I have talked about it before and it came up as a bigger problem this week. Feeling pretty sick and then Halloween also played into lower mileage this week. But I…

Hi everyone! Another interesting week of Dopey Challenge training! Not quite “may you live in interesting times!” interesting but still interesting. I started the week with a 7.3 mile outside run on country gravel roads on Monday – that was a good run and I was happy to get that one done after setbacks last…

Hey there! Week 6 of Dopey Challenge – so good stuff and some going completely off the rails stuff…Let’s talk about how it went! So the week itself is supposed to be a bit of a fall back week to re-energize for harder challenges coming up in the training plan. As such, the plan was…

Alrighty – a few days late here but time for a quick recap of week #5 of Dopey Challenge training. So this was a bit of an odd week. The plan was 4-7-4-7-14 and started the week struggling. I did the 4 mile run Tuesday without any real issue but it was a slower run…

Today I want to come in with a quick, late review of my run every day until the end of August challenge that I set myself on back in July. The first run of the challenge was July 16th and the last on was August 31st. I made it through the challenge mostly intact and…

One more week down – 20 miles this week, so down from last week but I had a couple days with stomach issues that had me limiting my miles. Besides that though I did have a decent week – I got a 4 mile speed run in where I got progressively faster every 5 minutes…
