Day 4 – Intervals

Comments: What great running weather! It could have been a titch cooler, but I take the below 60 degree run anyday. I need to do interval training once a week to become a faster runner. Today was the day. In the past I’d run 1/4 of a mile at a decent pace, then pick it [...]

School is in session

With your help I have raised $2800 so far. THANK YOU EVERYONE! I am hoping that I can hit $3000 by the time I am running the 1/2. Wouldn’t that be awesome? That would be twice the amount of money I thought I couldn’t raise! ~~~~ This quarter (school) is going to be a tough [...]

Some lifting and 4

I rode the elliptical rider for 20 minutes on Monday and then lifted some weights…upper body. I am pretty sore today even though I didn’t really push it. The weatherforcast was 71 degrees and raining. When I stepped ouside, in shorts and t-shirt it was 49 and overcast. At first I thought it would be [...]

Wet 6

Comments: “Rain, rain, go away…” I don’t mind running in rain, but this one was cold… I have come to enjoy running without a fuel belt and it’s starting to hinder my long runs. I went out without one today, but it’s mileage limiting. 6 is the max I am going without a belt. I [...]

Easy 3

Comments: My goal was to run 3 miles at an 11 min/mile pace. I ran it a bit faster than that. The trail was still littered with sticks and small branches from the high wind (Hurricane Ike leftovers) on Sunday, which made it a bit of a challenge, but I managed.  Time: 10 am Weather: [...]

3.9 @ work (11:02)

Comments: I am so darn busy at work I don’t know if I am coming or going and on top of that my PC’s hard drive crashed. When it rains it pours. But today I am back at it, working late to (hopefully) get caught up! I managed to get 3.9 miles in yesterday at [...]

Under the knife

Well, the heading sure sounds more dramatic then it really is, or rather will be. The ultrasound did not deliver the longed for results so tomorrow hopefully he’ll find out what’s wrong and we’ll go from there.

Eliptical Rider ~ 4.63 miles

Comments: My legs are still sore, mainly the quad muscles. My right leg is stiff (piriformis muscle), but it doesn’t hurt when I walk. The legs feel better now that I exercised them. I developed a huge blister under my right pinky toe during the long run. It is still a tender area. But mentally I feel very [...]
