The day after Brandon finished the Leadville 100 Trail Run, his sister, Natalee, and I took the truck about 10 miles east to the Mount Sherman Summit Trail Head. I hiked this trail in 2001, late summer. It was a lot easier then. But…I was also in the best shape of my life. 170lbs – regularly [...]
10k Training Starts on Tuesday…sort of.
So, I found this Beginner 10k Training Program I’ve decided I am going to do it. However, it states that I should be able to run about 20 miles/week with two rest days for 4-5 weeks without much discomfort before I begin the program. Okay, seems simple enough. EXCEPT….I [...]
My First 5k Trail Race
I participated in my first 5k trail race last night. http://planetadventurerace.com/trail/tnt/race1/index.shtml It was at Town Run Park here in Indy and about 10 minutes from work. I am fairly familiar with the trails as Angela and I bike them often. It’s a short, fun loop….when biking. Those “3.1″ miles kicked my ass on foot. Some [...]

My First 5k – Race Recap
Ha! Yeah — I’m going to put that on my bumper. Because we can’t all be marathoners, right? http://www.josephmaley.org/5k/ Recap: It started, took me 20 seconds to cross the start line. I ran. Fat woman pushing a stroller passed me on the last mile. It ended. The glory is all mine. My goal was to finish [...]
WS100 Pictures
I am still learning Word Press and trying to decide the best way to post a gallery of pictures. The person who hosts my blog does it for free, and therefore, I am trying to conserve his bandwidth/memory/storage, etc. Anywho – here is a gallery from the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run. Enjoy! From [...]
WS100 – A Fat Guy’s Perspective
I’ve never done one of these before, and it has been a work in progress for a couple of weeks. A lot of my posts tend to be very negative with plentiful servings of self-deprecation. Other than the title of this post, there will be none of that – well a bare minimum. With that [...]
Couch to 5k – Done.
I started this program back on March 19…on the treadmill. (Stupid, yeah, I know.) On March 21, I completed Day 2/Week1 – also on the treadmill. A buddy of mine said that the treadmill sucked. March 21 was the last time I’ve been on the damn thing. The program was supposed to last 9 [...]
Audio Choices for the Novice Runner
F. Scott Fitzgerald Audio Books should not be on your playlist. Boring as hell. So, yesterday I decided to make today Day 1 of Week 9. I’m going to have a good week if this morning is any indication. Went well. I was tired and looking forward to the end of the workout, but was completely wiped [...]
Week 9 – Absolute Failure
I’ve been pretty negative on here the past couple of months. I shouldn’t be like that. It’s not that bad. It’s been frustrating with my schedule (or lack of consistency) and my hip hurting like hell. So, skip forward to this morning. I was exciting to get outside and start Week 9 all over again and make [...]
