Hal Higdon’s Marathon Training, week 8, day 3 by Kirk .. Patient Expert

Posted Sat 23 Aug 2008 3:16pm 33 minutes. Finally back on schedule. I get a day off tomorrow! This one was pretty easy. The first five minutes were tough, as usual, but the rest was cake. I threw in a few sprints in there every once in a while just to make it tougher. Good run. Read on »

Posted Sat 02 Aug 2008 8:14am 55 minutes. Nothing to say really. Pretty easy. For the last few runs I’ve been going right at nightfall. While the lower temperature is nice I have to pay for it with more bugs and spiderwebs. It gets pretty gross. Read on »

Posted Tue 14 Oct 2008 5:15pm 44 minutes. I got back on the trail for the first time in a long time. Felt good to be back.

Hal Higdon’s Marathon Training, week 18, day 3 by Kirk .. Patient Expert

Posted Fri 24 Oct 2008 11:23am 2 miles. I went out of town this week for a few days and managed to find an excuse to miss the first two runs of this week. I just barely snuck this one in. How’s that for a taper? For better or worse I’m officially done training for this marathon. I’ve already been to the expo to pick up my bib and shirt so there’s nothing to do but wait until Read on »
