My second week out of town and the week before my Quarter Marathon (6.56 miles) was one for the records. 18 total miles and a 9 mile long run that felt 7 miles plus a lifetime on the worst roads in Georgia. My first 2 runs of 5 and 4 miles respectfully were both fantastic. Had a bit of the calf issue, but hardly worth noting.
After 4 rock shows in 3 days, I was up for a 9 mile long run in Agusta, read more
I had a much needed “down” week this week. A combination of the last 3 weeks milage increase and being out of town convinced me that I was due for a bit less milage. I play in a rock band for a living and the one problem I am seeing is that I have to do runs when I am not on my home turf.

The pure reason I am on here today, writing about Bare Foot Running, talking a “transitioning” “form” “lifting feet” etc is because my desire to run the marathon distance.

At the beginning of the week I did what I should have done a month ago when my runs began to reach the 3 mile mark, go find a better course to run barefoot. I rode my bike around in my VFF’s and found a much smoother road to a neighborhood that must have been repaved in the last year. The traffic on the road was light, but enough to rid the roadway of any real debris. Since it is residential read more
This week was full of distrations to take my mind off how pathetic I am doing currently with my running. Had to wait in line for 2 hours to return a cable box to Comcast (worst company ever). Did my taxes, saw 2 concerts, played 2 concerts, flew around in a small plane, and got a measly 9.1 miles of running in (3 runs).
I basically haven’t been able to work on my form this week due to the read more
