This undertaking is turning out to be exponentially more traumatic than the first week freshman year of college, going to... http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/11/all_nerves_for.html http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/11/all_nerves_for.html Wed, 23 Nov 2005 15:39:12 -0500 My legs felt like big 'ol tree trunks this morning on my 12-mile long run. Heavy and stiff. It was ~31 degrees when we started at 8am, and I had on loose yoga-like pants. I should've just worn shorts... http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/11/probably_need_t.html http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/11/probably_need_t.html Sat, 19 Nov 2005 17:28:17 -0500 I stole Alison's title because 1) I'm not feeling particularly creative at the moment and 2) I'm on my second work trip for the week. I wish I could take a train to Suffolk, so I could actually be productive.... http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/11/on_the_road_aga.html http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/11/on_the_road_aga.html Thu, 17 Nov 2005 21:41:47 -0500 A short recap...7 treadmill miles in 60 minutes. I ran two of the middle miles at 7:35. Cardio a bit off from weekend workouts, but legs only had residual exhaustion. I did a different lifting sequence that is part of... http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/11/tonights_exerci.html http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/11/tonights_exerci.html Tue, 15 Nov 2005 22:37:55 -0500 The tri club hosted a showing of Ironman Hawaii at the Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse on Saturday, so R. and I went with some of our runner friends. Of course I was in awe of the professional athletes who had... http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/11/inspired_and_mo.html http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/11/inspired_and_mo.html Tue, 15 Nov 2005 16:03:33 -0500 Tonight was R. and my first night back at our old track, since they changed it to another school (further away) this summer while turf was laid on the infield. It was a nice welcome back, especially with the perfect... http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/11/return_to_track.html http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/11/return_to_track.html Wed, 09 Nov 2005 23:10:19 -0500 Whew! It's been a crazy few days in more ways than one. I'm happy to have a moment catch up on my blog. The madness all started on Thursday night while I was sleeping on the couch. R. woke me... http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/11/crime_scene_bea.html http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/11/crime_scene_bea.html Tue, 08 Nov 2005 23:00:00 -0500 I planned to run at lunchtime today, so I brought everything I needed to the office...except breakfast, which is usually dry cereal, yogurt, or chocolate milk. I was starving and would need some fuel for later; it's just that I... http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/11/breakfast_of_lo.html http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/11/breakfast_of_lo.html Tue, 01 Nov 2005 23:20:54 -0500 I'm taking a break from some online training and reading at work. My attention span isn't marathonesque in that I can't read for 8 hours straight, or in today's case, 10 hours. Gotta break it up with other things -... http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/10/tired_bored_and.html http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/10/tired_bored_and.html Mon, 31 Oct 2005 15:24:05 -0500 Because 5ks are simply too painful. I don’t like that constant feeling that my lungs will explode or that I will throw up. Not fun times. And those feelings were quite evident in the 5k I ran yesterday. Did I... http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/10/i_remember_now.html http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/10/i_remember_now.html Sun, 30 Oct 2005 20:18:38 -0500 Although my post-Chicago marathon recovery plan doesn't call for a wild and crazy social life, I've been taking advantage of decreased mileage time to see friends and family I haven't seen in a while. Mid-week last week I traveled home... http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/10/social_butterfl.html http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/10/social_butterfl.html Thu, 27 Oct 2005 14:04:19 -0500 I guess I never really elaborated on getting a new job. I kept it hush because you never know who's reading these blogs (i.e. co-workers). Anyway, I didn't announce my departure at the office until 3 weeks ago even though... http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/10/errand_filled_d.html http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/10/errand_filled_d.html Mon, 17 Oct 2005 23:05:35 -0500 I did my first post-marathon run yesterday with Nanda and R. We met up with the club but did our own 5-mile route along Potomac River on the Mt Vernon trail. The sun was finally out, the temps were cool,... http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/10/not_much_runnin.html http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/10/not_much_runnin.html Sun, 16 Oct 2005 22:54:18 -0500 My only real complaint about the marathon course was some of the tight water stops. I know it can get dicey at stops during big races, but it seemed all the stops happened to be placed in the narrowest of... http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/10/great_food_and.html http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/10/great_food_and.html Thu, 13 Oct 2005 21:10:28 -0500 There's so much to tell from the weekend's events, but I'm gonna start with the reason I have this blog - running. I've added Chicago to my short list of favorite marathon venues. The weather was perfect; crowd support was... http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/10/couldnt_have_as.html http://www.eliterunning.com/leilani/archives/2005/10/couldnt_have_as.html Tue, 11 Oct 2005 13:32:40 -0500
