A Question From Convalescence

Having stockpiled a good number of sick days throughout the athletic season when they probably should have been used (working a basketball game in a cold production booth with a temperature =not fun!), I woke up with a pounding headache around 4a and decided to utilize such a day. I wish it wasn’t so bright in my place, though. I plan to compose something a little more in-depth later, but I want to pose a question for those that read this every so often (I’m still in awe that I get views on days when I haven’t updated, and I am very thankful to have such): As a reader of this provided rambling (or any blog), what compels you to comment on content? I’m interested as I know what makes me want to connect and respond to something posed on other sites, but don’t know if I want to strive to craft such myself or not. Not that I feel like I’m doing something wrong, but just like knowing what makes creatures of the digital web tick. Don’t feel pressured to leave anything, but I’d love t

On To 2015

2014 Illinois XC Challenge, November something or 'nother. This was not a smartly-run race by me, but this photo isn't horrible. Closed out 2014 with a half at the end of November, sullenly so. Took three weeks off of running to rest up, prepare for what lies ahead. I felt like I allowed external forces pull me through the first what, seven months of the year without much structure or growth, as far as running is concerned. I'm glad I got angry and started to focus my training in September-October, because with more perspective, I learned a great deal from the Indy half in November. Mainly, I like what I accomplished with essentially no base and just a little addition of speed work. These last two weeks have been just easy miles, with a focus on slowing my dumb-ass down. I'm committed to the presence of strength training and more plyo-based athletic efforts being standard in my normal week, and did such three times in the past seven days--bully for me. Tryin

Monumental Half Marathon Recap

In sum: Ran 1:32:45 for the half marathon. Cold wasn't as terrible as advertised, I fell apart for the middle miles but rebounded and my immediate post-race perspective is never satisfied, even when it should be. Thanks, Indy! Hey, that's me and my face doesn't appear to be melting in an agonizing state. FRAME IT! Should I start from the beginning, it will be a foul-mouthed complaint that emphasizes a dour few miles and the pretty nice finish line hat that followed. Instead, I’ll work my way backwards. As I was taking off from my hotel at noon for the post-race club meet-up spot, I spotted John, a ridiculously fast marathon finisher, and we discussed our efforts as we wandered the few blocks towards the restaurant. I hadn't actually vocalized my thoughts on my race at that point, and was sincerely trying to shake my butt hurt feelings of disappointment given I did not achieve my aggressive goal for the day, but I summed it up thusly: “I know I should
