My Not So Official Cleveland Marathon Blog

So I have been seeing a lot of folks on twitter talking about their Cleveland Marathon training, etc.

New Year's Resolutions

New Years ResolutionsSeems like everyone is making a New Year's Resolution so I thought I would toss mine on here. 

Testing the Water

Today I ran the Summit Athletic Buckeye Half Marathon to test the waters for the Akron Marathon .... well

One of those weeks

Ever have one of those days where anything will set you off ? Tonights run was the breaking point.

The Half Marathon Test

Today I took the half marathon test ... about 2.5 months out from Akron.

Akron Marathon Blog: Finally a GOOD Week

Finally a good week for training as we sit 11 weeks out from the Akron Marathon. Up this weekend the Napa to Sonoma 1/2 Marathon.

Is this Bad ?

Well first off I realized that I was not going to post EVERY day ... that is just plain silly.

Akron Marathon Training | Day 2 at the zoo

Today's long run went way better then expected. 15.25 miles and I was a happy camper. Followed that up by a day at the zoo. Talk about being tired!

3 Months Out | Day 1

Today starts 3 months out to the Akron Marathon. I have ran this race before and and have faded around sand run.

Big Day ...

Today was a pretty big day with a little over 18 miles. Original plan was to run the Shamrock 15k then re-run the course for a long run day.

Commitment

I made a little commitment tonight by registering for the Blue Ridge Marathon. I thought that might help jump start the Ironman "marathon portion" of my training.

Let it snow, let it snow

Well if you live in Northeast Ohio chances are you have close to a foot of snow on the ground and everyone is complaining about it except for those at Boston Mills and Brandywine Ski Resorts. Well news flash people; it is winter and it will be here for a while.

Tis The Season

Here is just a little list of Belgium Brews that I sent down to the folks in Texas to pick up for me. They have quite a few beer stores in Houston so I thought I would take advantage of it.

The Last Week

Ah the last week has been great .... fun training, no schedules but getting the job done everyday.

No Plan this week ...

Usually I try and map out the week but this week I am saying screw it. Holiday, short week and it isn't like I am not going to work out. But over the weekend I did do some work on the Trek Madone.
