Week Starting 10/7/2019 Running: 15.6 miles Biking: 43.1 miles Steps: 83,683 (41.07 miles –  25.47 walking) Impression: Little bit of a down week this week. We’ve had some crappy weather, but I’ve still tried to get out when I can. A couple notable highlights of the week were my first ever beer mile on Friday night, using hard seltzer. […]

Week Starting 9/30/2019 Running: 30.9 miles Biking: 49.1 miles Steps: 107,545 (53.5 miles –  22.6 walking) Impression: This week was back at it. I managed 4 runs over the week, including a 14 mile run in cold rain on Saturday. I’m going to taper things down for a couple weeks through to recover a bit more, so this will […]

Week Starting 9/23/2019 Running: 11.4 miles Biking: 74.1 miles Steps: 73,442 (34.5 miles –  23.1 walking) Impression: I wasn’t kidding when I said that this blog would get some neglect in September, including my fitness recaps. I’ll post a longer review of my adventures in the coming weeks, but since I was back home starting on the 23rd, I […]

Week Starting 9/2/2019 Running: 13.7 miles Biking: 34.9 miles Steps: 113,348 (56.74 miles –  43.04 walking) Impression: This week turned out not to be quite what I expected, but overall it was fine. I knew I had a big pacing gig this weekend and so I kept my running and biking mileage low all week. Thursday afternoon we headed […]

Week Starting 8/26/2019 Running: 30.6 miles Biking: 70.8 miles Steps: 113,267 (57.65 miles –  29.42 walking) Impression: Due to a crazy work schedule of my youngest kid (working the State Fair) I ended up not getting in nearly as much activity as I would have liked to earlier in the week. I got my first bike ride in on […]

Week Starting 8/19/2019 Running: 19.0 miles Biking: 65.2 miles Steps: 97,710 (48.42 miles –  29.42 walking) Impression: Back to recovery week. My legs were feeling pretty trashed after Marquette, so this week was minimal running to try and keep things on the mend. I got in a mid-week run with the wife, and then on Saturday met up with […]

Week Starting 8/12/2019 Running: 36.6 miles Biking: 23.4 miles Steps: 127,019 (60.14 miles –  23.54 walking) Impression: Another race week! I got so wrapped up in the return travel that I completely forgot to post my weekly recap. So I’m doing it a couple days late, in lieu of my weekly “review” post. This Saturday I did the Marquette […]

Week Starting 8/5/2019 Running: 12.3 miles Biking: 34.1 miles Steps: 77,168 (37.05 miles –  24.75 walking) Impression: Recovery week! I kept it really low key this week for two reasons. One, I had just run 62 miles. The second reason being that I have another race, the Marquette 50K, next weekend. These two weeks are going to be nice […]

Week Starting 7/29/2019 Running: 67.9 miles Biking: 3.6 miles Steps: 195,536 (95.67 miles –  27.77 walking) Impression: Race week! This week was two small runs, a quick bike commute to the train station, and then the big race. I completed my first every 100K. I felt tremendously ready for this race, and everything was going great till about mile […]
