Yesterday I finished the HC Andersen Marathon in 4:02:14 (hr:min:sec). For it being my first marathon ever I’m quite pleased especially considering I didn’t want to even run a 5k a few years ago. Thanks to Jen and my parents for the excellent support in Odense over the weekend! Some pics from the Mrs:

Marathon Playlist

I’ve been tweaking this the last few weeks and I’ve finally got it where I want it. We start with a bit of warm up music then lead into the chill Death Cab for Cutie album Narrow Stairs. An upbeat transition with Flipsyde’s Someday leads to the first of an hour long Tiësto’s Clublife podcast [...]
6 Month Running Update

6 months down and 1 to go. The Marathon is 28 days out and I have one more week of serious training left followed by a 3 week taper. I’ve been absolutely beat lately so taper is going to be a treat! In the last month I’ve added on 145 miles, nearly 24 hours, and [...]

Hard to believe we’re now at the 5 month mark with only 56 days till the H.C. Andersen Marathon in Odense, Denmark. The Walkington 10k was a little over a week ago and went really well. Despite the hillier course and not having tapered for it I still ran a 49:12 which was only 20 [...]

The Mrs. and I headed up to Scotland this past weekend for the Helensburgh 10km followed by a nice long weekend exploring the Low Lands.

Gotta Run

Birthday Run originally uploaded by -DjD-. I got out for a nice 9 mile run today and the weather was beautiful. Continuing to move the mileage up and bring the pace down but I suspect it’s going to get much more difficult once I break my half-marathon distance. Here’s the stats thus far, as well [...]

Training Map Nothing too fancy just yet but I’ve wanted to start mapping out my training runs a bit. The process is way too manual at this point but perhaps over the coming months I’ll clean it up and read up on some best practices. If anyone has any suggestions, shout! So far: 27 miles [...]

Thanks again to my parents for coming all the way out to Odense to see me run. Between Jen and the two of them I had plenty of moral support! Here are two videos from my parents.
