Welcome to Conejo Joe's Marathon Training and Running Blog. This started in April 2009 when I decided to start training for the inaugural Santa Barbara Marathon. Since then I've run several marathons and a number of other local races, while highlighting and babbling about a variety of things running-related in here, including training specifics, race reports, dealing with injuries (and I've had plenty of them). disappointments, successes, local races and so on.

I've been running since 1993 and have logged well over 60,000 miles since then. With over 30 marathons and a personal best time of 2:35 many years ago at the Los Angeles Marathon, I have a few things to say about running. My hope is that these posts provide you something of benefit, be it useful advice for your own training, a grin or two, or perhaps some motivation.

Continuing to Run Through Injury Though No Races on the Horizon

June 20, 2011/ Conejo Joe

Well, I'm trying to work through my stomach problem with my chiropractor. Some days it feels like the problem is gone while others the pain come out of nowhere. I'm happy to be able to run, and I've been doing so for runs of up to 1 hour long. However, I'm not happy that here I am at mid-year 2011 without having run a single race.

Having bailed out of the Ojai 2 Ocean Marathon, I went ahead and signed up for the Malibu Marathon again this year on November 13th, only 5 months away.

On that note, here's an interesting song called "Run Conejo Run" that I'd never heard before prior to fellow local runner Jonathan S making me aware of it tonight. Sung by Dave Alvin.
