I have been negligent in updating my blog but then again that isn't the only thing.
Although I have been running as much as I can. I have been putting up 20-25 mile weeks consistently mixing in tempo, progressive and LSD runs to keep it feeling fresh.
I ran a distance PR a couple of weekends ago running from Hot Tuna on Great Neck Road, VA through the First Landing State Park, down the oceanfront boardwalk to Neptune's statue and all the way back to Hot Tuna. It was a 15 mile round trip and I surprisingly felt spent but could have done a couple more miles which was an awesome feeling. My knees and ITB was fine and I Roctane Gelled it at miles 5, 8, 12.
I will be doing the Tidewater Striders Distance series in Jan and Feb which is a 20k, 25k, and 30k race series through First Landing State Park. If I complete the 18 with no problems I will probably sign up for the SHamrock Full which will be my first ever marathon. We shall see.
Happy Holidays All and I hope Santa brings you lots of cool running stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
