This week marks the halfway mark of my marathon training.
Tuesday’s workout consisted of 2 miles slow (8:30 minute mile) then alternate between .25 mile fast (7:30 minute mile) and 2:09 slow for 16 of each speed. It finished with 1 mile slow.

First race for Cole – The Loudoun Street Mile 5/27/13
I am a Running Dad. I will not slow down. I will not look back. I will lead by example. I will encourage others to follow me, challenge me, beat me. I don’t know what I am running from or what I am chasing. I just run.
This page is dedicated to the runners who try and balance career, family and finding the time to run. I hope some of the info I provide will help you improve or motivate you. I also encourage you to leave feedback because I have a long way to go in my goal to be a better Running Dad.

So “faas” is Jamaican for “fast”.
But Puma is a German company, right?
It all makes more sense when you see the Jamaican Olympic track team, including Usain Bolt, sporting their shoes. (more…)
