Stat in the HAT
March 24, 2007 by Bryon Powell · 2 Comments
The VERY quick summary of today’s run at HAT. I finished 5th, right in the middle of my 5 finishes there 4, 4, 5, 7, and 1?. (Those are from memory, but should be close to correct.) My time of 4:15 or so was my second slowest. About an inch of race fell up along [...]
Still on the Upswing?
March 21, 2007 by Bryon Powell · 1 Comment
While I wouldn’t consider myself fully recovered, I do feel that I’m on the way back. Why do I think this? Well, first of my runs from Saturday through Monday were all in the ok category, and that’s a huge improvement over the previous week’s runs. Then came yesterday. Last evening after work, I hit [...]

Synopsis of Week’s Training:It didn’t take me very long this week to figure out that I was in a running funk. To add to this, Monday found me touching down in DC at 8 a.m., heading home, repacking, and driving down to Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina on my first business travel as an attorney. Knowing that [...]

Today, my sister ran in a new product (for her), a pair of “Ice Runners” that are better known as STABLicer SPORTs. She shared her thoughts on the STABILicers with me and I thought I’d pass her review along to you. “That’s right I ran for the first time in my ice runners today and [...]

Doesn’t my sister look like a nature trail ultra runner? Here she is 21.5 miles into her first trail race, first marathon, and first ultra and she looks like she just stepped out of the house! :-D Keep up the good work, Gretch.
Defunkification?

I’ve been heeding recommendations of y’all and the advice I would normally give others and have taken the past 3 days off completely. Yesterday, I wanted to run, but took another day off just I would when coming back from a 100. Today, I feel like running up and down the halls. After work I’ll [...]
Who's Got the Funk?

I’ve got the funk…. or at least I’m in one. I’m in a running funk and I risk falling into a personal funk. This isn’t the first time I’ve fallen into a running funk and it won’t be the last. Now I’ve got to figure out why I’m in it and a way out. The [...]

Ok, so I was not quick nor did I get dirty today at WTC, but this post is both those things. It’s an email I sent to a couple friends who asked about my performance at the race. Quick summary – not too good. The best thing I did regarding the race was predict that [...]

Phew! It’s been an exhausting last week, some of it pleasant, some of it not. I had a great long weekend hanging out with Gretchen and Amy, including the Seneca Creek Greenway run. However, three straight days of socializing left me exhausted and the week was interesting… On Monday, I worked until 11:30 and decided [...]
Warped Thought of the Day

A friend of mine is headed south to Central America this weekend and that got me thinking about tasty rum. I like rum, particularly good rum. Well, I mulled and muddled the topic for a we little bit before I decided a rum tasting tour of Latin America and the Caribbean might be in my [...]
