Even before we moved into our house Mary and I knew we were going to put a deck on it. About four years ago we did just that. Little did we know what we were in for. Read the rest of this entry »

It was a busy weekend. One that didn’t allow me to do my typical Sunday morning long run. Sometimes life gets in the way of running. I had trouble running most of the previous week primarily due to sore calves that I earned at the 2009 Utica Boilermaker. Like a small child I was grumpy because my routine was thrown off. To top it off it started to pour rain while I got ready to head out. I wasn’t heading out for just any run, this was a 20 mile run. This would be the longest I’d run since October of 2008. I didn’t want to go.

This was my fourth consecutive time running the Utica Boilermaker 15k Roadrace. The last race I ran, the Airport 5k, wasn’t particularly fun for me. I took it too seriously pushing for a time goal. Many times I’ve said I want to keep running fun and avoid being so competitive. This race was a return to racing for fun for me.
Although my primary goal was to have fun I still had time goals but they were not overly aggressive. I wanted to break 1:05 and hoped to break 1:03. Various race time predictors said I was capable of breaking an hour based on my time at the Airport 5k but I felt that was aggressive based on the course (the boilermaker course is far more difficult than running on a runway!). I had a blast and learned some valuable lessons that day.
