I've been training weird this week. On Monday I ran 5 miles at 6:25 pace with lots of hills. Tuesday I ran 10 miles half really slow (8:04 pace, with Mitch and Matt Torey) and then half relatively fast, alone (6:35 pace). Then yesterday I ran 15 miles total, the first four with Matt Torey at a slow pace, the next 11 were on my own. The pace was all over the place throughout the run ranging from the slowest 8:35 mile with Matt to the fastest 6:28 alone. Average pace on this run was 7:38. Not bad for 15.… more »

Today I ran six miles at 6:18 pace. It was very windy, I ran many hills, it was 33 degrees outside, and I decided to run in shorts. Felt awesom and awful simultaneously. The end. more »

5 miles today (saturday Nov 28) on the Frenchtown towpath. Avg. pace was 6:34, total time was 32:49. It became EXTREMELY windy on the way back otherwise I would have ran faster. Run felt good. more »

I'm still up so it's technically no longer thanksgiving. However i ran on thanksgiving instead of being lazy. Which I am proud of. Though it wasn't a very productive run. 4 miles at 6:35 pace. This is my easy week. I'm doing 35 next week (starting to build up a mileage base again) and 40 the week after. I will stay at 40 that week and for three weeks after and then move on to 45, adding in speed stuff gradually. I am hoping to do really well in the 3200 this year (come spring season). more »

Today we ran the Meet of Champions. We placed 12th (I hate in when JJ beats me in predictions... I said 9th). Our team average was 17:32. I PBed by 25 seconds from last week running a 17:46. I am very happy with my race. The only critism I have for myself is that i went up the bowl too hard again. more »

4 miles, moderate to fast pace today. We're not taking it hard right now. Trying to stay fresh, but it shape for MOCs in 2 days. Going to be a fun day regardless of the results. I feel that we have a shot of 11th-9th place on saturday (at best obviously). This has been a very productive season for Del Val, despite some intra-team speed bumps along the way. GO DEL VAL! more »

Today Delaware Valley RHS placed 2ND at the Group II race at Holm Del park. We will be advancing to Meet of Champions for the first time since 1975. I would like to thank Coach Dave Giantisco for being so dedicated to our team, for without him we would not have come this far. more »
