It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage.: June 2013
http://jsdeluca.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage. Thursday, June 27, 2013. Trying to avoid as much of a let down as this might become:. As with my PR at the Madison Mini Marathon in 2009 (dropped my Half Marathon PR from 1:35:46 to 1:23:21), the effort and the instant sense of accomplishment has led to a huge drop in motivation and training. On my way to cutting 12 minutes off of my 1/2 Marathon PR. Who's going to win? What place you finish in has less to do with how you run and more to do with who shows up.

It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage.: April 2013
http://jsdeluca.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage. Sunday, April 21, 2013. Week of 4/15/13 – 4/21/13. 506 miles in 36:06. 641 miles in 43:27 including the Good Times 5k in 17:59. This was Rose Maguire’s Great Mill Girl Chase 5k which means that the women got a 2:30 head start on the men. This meant that once we caught up with the women we had to weave through traffic on the trail which slowed us down a bit but it was a fun run anyway. 506 miles in 37:31 at lunch. Monday, April 15, 2013. This was not an attack ...

It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage. Thursday, October 3, 2013. I set the goal of qualifying for and entering the Boston Marathon on the 4. 8220;Damn, I’m actually pretty fast,” I thought to myself. I got a flyer in the mail for the Feaster 5 and decided that since I was so fast at the marathon I should go try to win this little 5 miler. I had just run a 3:33:00 marathon, how hard could a 5 mile race be? The 2006 Feaster 5 gave me my first race photo! I ran my 6. I stole this photo from somewhere...

It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage.: Graduation Goggles?
http://jsdeluca.blogspot.com/2015/05/graduation-goggles.html
It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage. Sunday, May 3, 2015. I first came to Dongtan in 2010. As a 27 year old kid traveling to Asia without my family for the first time everything seemed new, foreign and exciting. The pig head shop was new to me. It wasn't just pig of course. You can get almost anything at the market in Suwon. Before there was the Human Centipede movie there was the Human Centipede statue. Of course not everything was that foreign. That first trip to South Korea was intended to be ...

It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage. Thursday, April 24, 2014. The Boston Marathon 2014. What can I say about the Boston Marathon? To my ears, saying that this finisher medal belongs to Sarah sounds insultingly trivializing of how much she has done. All else I can say is I love you and thank you. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage.: September 2013
http://jsdeluca.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage. Saturday, September 21, 2013. Why I think "that guy" got it all wrong:. Okay, so by now everyone has read the article about how the “color run” is killing competitive running or is at the very least indicative of a general lack of competitiveness among younger runners. I am clearly oversimplifying the article. This is a bit of a challenge as I felt that the original article was oversimplified to start with. What is that I see? What we do see over the past 20 y...

It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage. Thursday, August 22, 2013. Back to a bit of running. Talk about a long slump! It’s the 22. Of August today and since I last posted on the 27. Of June (57 days ago) I have run just 160 miles. I raced only once in that span (on the last day of my 20s) and clocked a 17:53 for the 5k, nearly a full minute off of my PR. While my running life hasn’t been remotely interesting over this period I have done some stuff in my non-running life (what? I have one of those?

It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage.: February 2013
http://jsdeluca.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage. Thursday, February 28, 2013. I have no idea whether this was a good month or a bad month.either way, it’s over. The cutback from January has a couple of reasons:. There are 3 fewer days in February than January. I replaced 2x long runs with races. I lost a long run and a tempo run to a 6am Saturday to 6pm Sunday flight cab trip from Boston, MA to Suwon, Korea. There was a blizzard which shortened a couple runs. I survived a rough month and made it through two ...

http://jsdeluca.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage. Tuesday, March 19, 2013. It's been a while. I haven't posted in a while because it's a bit depressing to keep posting: "yup, my right Achilles is still swollen and my left calf still has a big old knot in the middle of it and both hurt a bunch when I run.". Here was my running:. Monday: 7.45 miles in 0:57:27 running easy on Mass Ave. Tuesday: 7.89 miles in 0:59:00 running at lunchtime at work. Wednesday: 10.17 miles in 1:14:58. Laps around Fresh Pond. I came a...
