Florida's Fastest over 5K-Marathon in 2006

http://www.flrunning.com/news/03-05-07-FL_Fastest_Times.html

* Quick update. Was listed above in 2006 in Florida for times of 15:18 (although I also ran 14:50), 32:20 and 1:10:10 and was not listed with my 2:39:05 for some reason (would have been #3?).

Anyway, training has been going absolutely great except for the fact that I have a "whiplash-type" injury to my neck and upper back. Not sure how it happened. I believe it was a 1-hour phone call while driving that gave me the stiff neck, either that or my 100M sprints uphill. I am pretty positive it was the phone call (thanks, Boss!).

So, tomorrow is my first serious timed workout. I re-scheduled it for Sunday, as I am flying out to Seattle for a week on Monday morning. I am debating either running it in my Spikeless Mach 9's or in my T5's, which I have been so comfortable in... I wish I could be running it on a grass field, but I just don't have a wheel to measure out the distance, so the track will have to suffice. Am aiming for 24:28 pace, or 73's. Goal for the season is to get into 30:10 XC shape, which is 29:30 shape or so on the track. Will be increasing my intensity as the season progresses.

Friday, 7:30 AM, 9-29-2006 47'28" for about 7 Miles in Heritage Park Big-time recovery run, but I was still covering ground well. My hamstrings are both absolutely trashed due to some new squats I have incorporated in order to fully heal my left adductor. That's how weak I am, is that body-weight (actually, I hold two GU2O cannisters in my hands- probably weigh 2 lbs. each) squats tear me up. They were very tender and weak and caused me not to push the pace at all, which I did not mind. A good run, and am hopefully getting healthy and getting my dedication back. Thursday, 7:15 PM, 9-28-2006 45'36" for about 7 Miles at Memorial Park Solid run. I really opened up on this run. I started out for 24-minutes, passed my starting point in about 21' and then turned around at 24-minutes to retrace my steps. I really opened it up tonight in the darkness. My hamstrings were trashed, but they held up to the pace and I really felt like I was moving. "Moving" right...

IAU Trail World Championship Recap

Image
Where do I begin? With the disappointment? With the learning? With the future? The 3rd IAU Trail World Championship was quite a disappointment. I had prepared for this race for over a year, conditioning my body to handle 70+km of "trail running" at a pretty good clip, running three difficult 50km trail races in the mid-3:30's and erasing a decade-long CR in a pretty popular trail marathon. Bottom line, I was conditioned to run through 50km at sub-7:00/mile pace on pretty harsh Mid-Atlantic trails and then tack on 20km more. What I was not prepared for was hiking up a mountain ascent and scrambling the descent. The race started in nice conditions, a field of 120 athletes. With the initial 4km on the road before our first of two summits up Diamond Hill (1750ft), I got a feel for the field. I ran in about 25-30th place through the mile and by 2 miles had moved into the top 20. As we started the climb of Diamond Hill, I started easily passing most runners and I was operat...
