Since this week’s been pretty shot as far as staying on schedule anyway, and because its a whole lot of fun, tomorrow morning I’m off to Rocky Hill for 3-4 hours of mountain bike goodness. Slippery singletrack here I come!
Er, if I don’t run at all on Saturday, I’ll do 12-13 miles on Sunday - 6 hard. If I can though, I’ll do at least 5-6 miles in the evening.

I'm Richard Stanford, a fit, happy runner. Of course, that wasn't always the case. Dip into the archives to follow my progress from couch potato to sub-four hour marathoner.
I also like to cook, write, code, and play with power tools...

Hi Richard! Hey, do you have any suggestions for sub goals I can work toward for/before the half? I’m just starting week 5 tomorrow (cross train today) and I did another 3.5 last night at 8.5 minutes per mile (kind of just to prove that Tuesday wasn’t a fluke!) but I don’t know much about how to set or reach the goal?….. - Mia

Hey Richard, there are certainly no rules against running and biking in the same day. In fact, when it’s this freakin’ awesome outside it seems absolutely necessary to me!
