A Tumblr account documenting my inability to accomplish my goals and the brutalization of my body along the way. In the words of my brother: “No pain, no super pain.”
Training Plan
Goal to run 1,054mi in 2012 (double 2011).
- May 86mi
- June 95.6mi
- July 106mi
- August 118mi
- September 130mi
- October 143mi
- November 157mi
- December 130mi
Total 965mi + results of April (approx. 89mi)
This will be difficult. I’ll need to work in track days and strength days to reduce the potential for injuries. Also, race days will affect training.
I’ll go through 2, maybe 3, pairs of shoes. At about $80 a pair, this will be an expensive endeavour.
Weekly plans to follow.
I’m running a race a week from tomorrow. Proceeds and donates go to fighting lung cancer.

Somehow I just logged a PR for a run that I normally do. I’ve taken about 6 weeks off from running and my run today felt like total garbage. It felt slow. Really slow. And, I definitely faded badly. But, it was my fastest time by about 30 seconds. It was still VERY slow. But, at least I’m improving?
GPOY Post Cross Country Challenge
Dec. 4, 2011. Fun race. Two creek crossings with water up to my belly button (I’m 6’0”) at one and a few inches above my knees at the other. Steep hills. Lots of Mud. Eric, puked because he was hungover.
