And yes, I was certainly spoiled having him home over Christmas ... http://larsh.ca/2010/03/01/panama/ When you look at most running training programs, from distances of 5K to, well, to whatever, the paces are enough to throw you off. You rarely (except for speed work and a few runs near the very end) train at your goal "race pace." I had, actually, present tense, have, ... http://larsh.ca/2010/02/01/learning-to-trust-the-plan/ I can already that the second time around is going to be a lot different from the first. For example, when Tracy and I went for our long run on Sunday (only 15K, let's not get crazy...it was not even technically Day 1 of training!), we were both like, huh, ... http://larsh.ca/2010/01/26/marathon-training-season-2-begins/ A friend of mine (who is much more motivated than me, as you will note by his regular posting) has a running blog that regularly features local Toronto runner's and why they run. Recently, he asked if it would be okay if he did a post about me and I ... http://larsh.ca/2009/11/30/the-farklet-runner/ I'm not really sure what to write. First of all, I'm home. In Toronto.

Now, not being one to turn down a dinner out, I (we) happily obliged. I'm still working on being smooth and efficient in restaurants, since that is one place ... http://larsh.ca/2009/10/08/how-do-you-say-locksmith-in-spanish/ One of the reasons that I wanted to get here on Saturday night was so that Court and I could have a full day together before he went to work. Oh, no, not so that we could spend it cuddling and making kissy faces but so that he could show ... http://larsh.ca/2009/10/05/panama-city-day-1/ So, I'm still in Toronto. You would be right if you were thinking that about this time, I was supposed to be landing in Panama City, Panama. (Not Panama City, Florida. You would not believe how many people asked me this today. Like, THREE.) So, the plan was to take a ... http://larsh.ca/2009/10/03/funny-story/ You would not believe how many times I've written a post summarizing the Marathon only to lose it to Windows Updates or my own stupidity. I even put photos in it. For realz. It was very comprehensive. And I still would like to get it written, and posted. Eventually. But, ... http://larsh.ca/2009/09/28/scotiabank-half-marathon-2009-recap/
