Date Distance Elapsed Time Workout Name Comments
07/01/2006  11  1:06:15.00  Easy Run   Ran after giving clinic for TNT at Lake Orion. Felt pretty good. Haven't run that loop in a long time.  
07/02/2006  10  1:03:25.00  Easy Run   Group run. Nobody really hammered today, which is awesome.  
07/02/2006  25:10.00  Easy Run   Good ole' Hebrew loop. Felt ok. As Morgan would say, "It's thick!"  
07/03/2006  10  1:06:00.00  Easy Run   Hot one in ole' Cedar Rapids. Ran the course, then hit the trail by the Quaker Oats factory.  
07/04/2006  4.98  23:30.00  Competition   Quite the race. Didn't feel geat, but stuck my nose in and raced guys. Dead even splits- 11:46 at 4k. PR'd through 4 miles- 18:52. Pretty hot and humid today. Everybody wanted to run fast today. Nice road PR.  
07/05/2006  10  1:04:15.00  Easy Run   Didn't feel too bad after all the travel. Need to take it easy the next few days and recoup for Boilermaker.
07/05/2006  25:45.00  Easy Run   Felt, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good...  
07/06/2006  10  1:04:00.00  Easy Run   Another chilly morning, considering. Nice and easy, lemon squeezy.  
07/07/2006  54:00.00  Easy Run   Nice and easy befre heading off to NY.  
07/07/2006  28:00.00  Easy Run   Easy in Niagra Falls.  
07/08/2006  54:00.00  Easy Run   Ran the Boilermaker course. It doesn't look very fun at all. Morgan's going to love these downhills.  
07/09/2006  9.33  46:24.00  Competition   Just felt flat today. Probably from all of the travel in the last week. I don't think from being the end of the segment, because I'm just starting to feel good. The course was probably the toughest I've run, yet still managed a 4:26 mile after 4 miles of climbing. A good day for the team, but Brian and I had rough ones. But, I am the healthiest I have been all 2006, so I am pumped to get back to my niche and crank the mileage back up. After this segment, I really do believe I can run 2:12 something at Chi-Town. Which would be awesome. The other thing is that even my bad races now are at the point where I am still competitive in strong fields. So, progress is being made steadily. I think if I am consistant, the next couple years will be interesting.  
07/20/2006  48:30.00  Easy Run   The first day back always feels awful, but I feel the best overall that I have all year.  
07/21/2006  10  1:04:00.00  Easy Run   Ran a little farther, felt about the same. Stiff and sore and fat.  
07/22/2006  10  1:03:00.00  Easy Run   Ran pretty quick today. Felt stronger, more normal.  
07/23/2006  12  1:12:00.00  Easy Run   I am the greatest hill runner in all of the land!!! Then I died and jogged home with "fat clintbox" as I heard him referred to as. also, I do not appreciate the use of Bushwacker Luke.  
07/24/2006  11  1:09:00.00  Easy Run   It will be interesting to see this group in another month...  
07/25/2006  12  1:17:18.00  Easy Run   Ran out and through Big Bear park. took it easy, which was still at a solid clip. Feeling more like myself now. A long 12, but not 13.  
07/26/2006  11  1:10:00.00  Easy Run   Not too bad today, but turned around before it got ugly.  
07/27/2006  11  1:02:30.00  Steady State Run   I think I ran faster today than I did for Boilermaker. No complaints, completely my choice. Hooray Freestyle! Mapped it out on USATF's route mapper. Probably long, with the up and down not factored in.  
07/28/2006  12  1:15:30.00  Easy Run   Nice and easy with Big Ern and Mop.  
07/29/2006  10  1:01:00.00  Easy Run   Ran with the infamous Tom McArdle this morning. I think he was a bit shell shocked. Bret Michaels is the man. CiCi, play that thang!!!!  
07/30/2006  12  1:07:00.00  Easy Run   Rolled out today. Hit a few miles at 5:25, 5:40, 5:30, 5:30. Wow, I can't wait until I start feeling good.  
07/31/2006  14  1:30:00.00  Easy Run   Took it easy and we all got along. Sucha nice day!  
08/01/2006  10  1:11:00.00  Easy Run   I didn't think I was going to make it...  
08/02/2006  12  1:15:20.00  Easy Run   Took it pretty easy today. Still very thick out.  
08/03/2006  10  1:11:00.00  Easy Run   Day camp. Had to drag the lazy fat kid around the park.  
08/04/2006  10  54:37.00  10-mile cutdown   Tough workout. Big ole' group today. A little fast on most of the miles.  
08/05/2006  10  1:01:00.00  Easy Run   Felt ok, considering yesterday was the first hard effort in awhile.  
08/05/2006  26:30.00  Easy Run   Easy through bloomer. Very pleasant day out.  
08/06/2006  10  59:32.00  Easy Run   Yobes, pisses me off, what can I say. I think we should jsut let the trail be only open to him, seeing that he doesn't move for anyone. It's so nice having a guy who's not even on our team, lead every single day. At least I got to see a heckuva game last night.  
08/07/2006  16  1:45:00.00  Long Run   Felt ok, even after yesterday. Rizzo is now on a 5 words/mile limit.  
08/08/2006  10  1:05:00.00  Easy Run   Felt pretty good, but the loop was terrible. Didn't make it to the enchanted trails before had to turn around.  
08/08/2006  26:00.00  Easy Run   Ran from Lake Orion on the PCT. Felt pretty decent. Very nice afternoon.  
08/09/2006  10  1:10:00.00  Easy Run   Felt alright. Got rolling when new guy decided to one-step Brian. Things never change. I did win Dutton, though. Felt alright. Worried about this tempo. Loop was along, but not long enough to call it 11.  
08/10/2006  40:06.00  8 mile tempo   Tempo around Stony. Supposed to be at goal marathon pace (5:02), but ended up a touch fast. Very good effort, but hopefully it feels a lot easier in a couple months.  
08/11/2006  10  1:05:00.00  Easy Run   Feeling pretty sore from yesterday. Got dropped along with Kyle, Dave, and Moen. Didn't care though. I probably need to start working on my hills for Chicago.  
08/11/2006  26:00.00  Easy Run   What an awesome day out. These are the days when you just want to run forever.  
08/12/2006  10.5  1:10:00.00  Easy Run   Didn't feel too great. Stood all morning at the Run Thru Hell after getting up at 4:30am. Then drove to Chi-Town. Nice along the Lakeside trail, though. Good thing tomorrow is a workout.  
08/13/2006  13.1  1:06:36.00  Tempo Run   Chicago Distance Classic. Supposed to be at marathon pace. Didn't feel that great. Felt pretty tight and sore from yesterday. Also got sent the wrong way and almost got hit by a taxi. Still some work left, but feel confident that it will happen.  
08/14/2006  11  1:11:00.00  Easy Run   Pretty sore after yeserday. Took it pretty easy today.  
08/15/2006  12  1:16:00.00  Easy Run   Felt better. Long weekend with a lot of travel.  
08/15/2006  28:00.00  Easy Run   Very nice afternoon. Ran from office out to Paint Creek Trail. Felt so-so.  
08/16/2006  18  1:48:00.00  Long Run   I could go on about sticking by what you said and call people out about claiming their righteousness because they found Jesus, and yet still only do something for somebody if they get something out of the deal. I could go on about how for the last three years you run balls out and then end up on the bench, claiming how good of shape you WERE in. Hey Marty, remember that time when I was in college and you were at Hanson's and I lapped you in a 10k? But now you are probably going to break the world record in the marathon, so I should be happy that you kicked all of our asses. There is no way you only ran 18 miles.  
08/17/2006  12  1:15:00.00  Easy Run   A lot better than yesterday. A lot of tired and soreness around the team today. Personally, didn't feel too bad. Workout on Saturday will be interesting.  
08/17/2006  26:13.00  Easy Run   Nice and sleazy in Bloomer. Felt ok towards the end.  
08/18/2006  10  1:06:00.00  Easy Run   Just when you think you've left me blind, I will be creeping up behind. Yeah, I will keep you in the corner of my eye...
Felt ok, still dreaming of ole' Fred Bear, Cat Scratch Fever, and my personal favorite- Stranglehold. The only thing Uncle Ted didn't do was gut a deer for us up on stage. Well worth the $5. Made me proud to be an American Redneck Rock and Roller!!!!
 
08/18/2006  26:30.00  Easy Run   good run through Bloomer with Claudette.  
08/19/2006  10  48:35.00  Motor City Mayhem   4-3-2-1 4 miles in 19:22, 3 in 14:43 (toughest one) 2 miles in 9:40, 1 mile in 4:50. Supposed to be at 4:52, 10 seconds faster than goal marathon pace. Very tough workout, but glad I am doing these. It's going to make 5:02 pace feel a little bit easier.  
08/20/2006  13.5  1:22:00.00  Easy Run   Tried to take it easy, but there were still quite a few fresh legs. Ran from Bloomer w/ Sell, Erns, and Claudette. She-dubs brought us home. Pretty tight all over.  
08/21/2006  10  1:05:43.00  Easy Run   Felt better than yesterday. Good, solid run.  
08/21/2006  27:00.00  Easy Run   Nothin' but me and the trees to keep me calm. It is my solitude that keeps me sane.  
08/22/2006  20  1:59:00.00  Long Run   It's hard getting dropped everyday, especially when you are running as fast or faster for every single run. Dave and I did a little 3 mile tempo between 5:01-5:10 late in the run. Felt better than I expected. Everything will be fine, I hope.  
08/23/2006  10  1:04:00.00  Easy Run    
08/23/2006  26:30.00  Easy Run    
08/24/2006  12  1:15:00.00  Easy Run   Another day, another dolla! Mike Marroth, where are you?  
08/24/2006  30:00.00  Easy Run   Brian miles in the Trails de Buttsquirt  
08/25/2006  43:47.00  3x3miles   Happy to make it through this one. Got a lot of practice running up front or by myself. Couldn't relax, because I felt like I was in launch mode the whole way. Getting stronger though, with a long way to go. I hope I can walk tomorrow. Ran 14:33, 14:38, 14:36  
08/25/2006  28:00.00  Easy Run   Started off at a crawl and ended up feeling better. Good shakeout run.  
08/26/2006  12  1:17:00.00  Easy Run   Everybody pretty roughed up today. Nice run with the boys today.  
08/26/2006  26:10.00  Easy Run   Cider mill opened today. Made the afternoon run that much harder.  
08/27/2006  12  1:12:45.00  Easy Run   Nice run today. Brian showed me how it's done.  
08/27/2006  27:00.00  Easy Run   Waded through Bloomer.  
08/28/2006  10  48:36.00  Death on a Stick   5x2miles. Supposed to be at 4:52 pace, or 9:44's.
Ran 9:42, 9:46, 9:43, 9:49, 9:36. One of the toughest workouts, again. I keep saying that. This one really hurt, though. My boys, Meat and KOB helped me on that last one. Big props to you.  
08/28/2006  27:45.00  Easy Run   Took it very easy. Rainy, crappy. Good shakeout, though.  
08/29/2006  12  1:17:00.00  Easy Run   Took it very easy. Legs were flat out dead. Saw Ormsbee afterward and feel better, despite being ripped a new one.  
08/29/2006  41:00.00  Easy Run   Felt absolutely awful at the start, but halfway decent towards the end. Hard to keep up with these young bucks.  
08/30/2006  12  1:16:00.00  Easy Run   Felt a lot better than yesterday.  
08/30/2006  39:00.00  Easy Run   Nice day out. Long day at work. Almost passed out.  
08/31/2006  00.00  Aerobic Capacity Intervals   3x2 miles at 4:52. Hit the first 2, last one was tough coming straight into the wind. Felt pretty decent for a change. Was completely shot.  
08/31/2006  30:00.00  Easy Run   Long drive up to Mount P. Ran around town before game.  
09/01/2006  14:58.00  Tempo Run   Rough day. Golfed from 9:30-2:30 for the alumni outing, lunch, then hauled tail back to Mt. P for the Jeff Drenth memorial. showed up in uniform, just in time for the gun. Fun time for all. Felt like I was going to lose my lunch. Course was well short of 5k, which worked out well for me. Nice to be back in the old stomping grounds, but all good things must come to an end.  
09/02/2006  14  1:31:00.00  Easy Run   Ran in Deerfiled park outside of town. Miss that place. Great dirt trails that hardly anyone uses.  
09/02/2006  28:00.00  Easy Run   Ran easy at parents' house.  
09/03/2006  22  2:21:00.00  Long Run   Out and back from Bloomer to the bike path at Stony. Felt alright heading out, but realized after we turned that we had been running with the wind. Picked it up on the way back. Solid effort. Not too bad after all this travel.  
09/04/2006  15  1:36:30.00  Easy Run   Nice and easy day. Added on with KOB towards the end, probably a little longer than I needed.  
09/04/2006  28:00.00  Easy Run   Eazy E and me ridin' dirty thru Bloomer.  
09/05/2006  14  1:31:00.00  Easy Run   Legs pretty tight. Good run though.  
09/05/2006  27:00.00  Easy Run   Great day out. Ran in Big Bear park on the way home from Lake Orion.  
09/06/2006  5.5  00.00  Easy Run   Warm-up & cool-down before and after workout.  
09/06/2006  10.5  50:42.00  7x1.5   Best I have felt all segment. Getting easier to handle the pace. Good for the confidence today.
Supposed to be 7:18
Hit 7:12, 7:17, 7:14, 7:16, 7:16, 7:11, 7:16  
09/06/2006  26:40.00  Easy Run   Can't argue with days like these. Won't be too many left.  
09/07/2006  16  1:44:00.00  Easy Run   Pretty beat up from yesterday. Always hilly when you run out by Lake Orion, as well. I thinks Clint's loop was a touch long, but it was nice.  
09/08/2006  12  1:17:00.00  Easy Run   Nice day. Took it pretty easy, meaning I was still running pretty fast, just not up front. Legs just rocked right now.  
09/08/2006  40:00.00  Easy Run   Two anorexic boys were so tired that they couldn't even make it up the hill. Oh wait, that was Dave and I...  
09/09/2006  22.5  2:13:23.00  Long Run   I mapped it out at 22.5 and that's not accounting for elevation changes, so it was probably closer to 23. Pretty tough loop going north towards Lake Orion. Pace was hot from the gun. Stopped with Morgan once back on the trail for his broiler problems. started rolling to catch the group. Timed miles of 5:09 and 4:59, then did our two hard. I hit 4:56, then 5:04 going up the hill. Probably one of my top 5 long runs, easily the best I've felt on a 22+ run.  
09/10/2006  12  1:12:00.00  Easy Run   16 mile group run from the store. Didn't feel too bad after yesterday, just the usual stiffness. Timed some miles and I guess it's a good thing when 5:45 feel the same as 6:12. Ran mostly with Edwin and Claudette.  
09/10/2006  7.5  51:00.00  Easy Run   Couldn't take anymore of the Lions. Had to get out of the house. Bloomer House bought a new dryer today, which is awesome.  
09/11/2006  12  1:14:00.00  Easy Run   Through Bloomer to watch the workout. Nothing big.  
09/11/2006  42:00.00  Easy Run   With Erns through Bloomer again today. What a treat. Took two amazing naps today.  
09/12/2006  38:40.00  4x2 miles   Felt pretty decent. I think I am finally getting my legs underneath me. I feel a lot better than I did before Boston, but I get to take a lot more naps than before. Supposed to be 9:44. Hit 9:41, 9:41, 9:43, 9:35. Ran dumb on the last one. Wanted to catch Box.  
09/12/2006  42:00.00  Easy Run   Nice and easy.  
09/13/2006  12  1:20:00.00  Easy Run   Took it very easy. Felt pretty tired today.  
09/13/2006  53:36.00  Easy Run   Easy after work.  
09/14/2006  12  1:18:50.00  Easy Run   Another easy day. Long day yesterday.  
09/14/2006  40:00.00  Easy Run   Another easy run.  
09/15/2006  33:46.00  Aerobic Capacity Intervals   2-3-2 Supposed to be 4:52 (9:44, 14:36, 9:44) Ended up 9:41, 14:29, 9:36. A little quick, which is probably why it waas hard to relax. Need to stay focused on pace.  
09/15/2006  41:30.00  Easy Run   Ran easy with Sellbo. A little tired.  
09/16/2006  14  1:29:30.00  Easy Run   Ran easy with Ebs and Big Ern.  
09/16/2006  42:00.00  Easy Run   Another nice and easy run.  
09/17/2006  12  1:20:00.00  Easy Run   Everybody kept it easy, which was awesome. Good run.  
09/17/2006  42:00.00  Easy Run   Easy with Gaudette and Brian.  
09/18/2006  22  2:15:00.00  Long Run   Solid effort. 3 hard was tougher this week, but I am a lot more tired now. Hit 5:01, 5:00, then Chad gapped me and it was over for me. 5:18 for the last one.  
09/19/2006  12  1:16:30.00  Easy Run   Took it very easy today. Legs very heavy.
