Normally, Monday is my day to cross train indoors on the elliptical trainer. But, the weather today was too nice to stay indoors. I ran after work. The humidity was low, nice breeze, sunny and pleasantly warm (78F). It was just an easy five mile run. I did not bother with a watch or the [...]

I got in a nice long run today. I ran just under 13 miles. When I started out, I was a little sore form yesterday’s race. I adjusted my pace and was running an easy going 9:30 min/mile. After 5 miles, my body was loose. I kept my Garmin on total pace for the run. [...]

Actualluy won a little hardware. I ran in the Bayou Bash Relay. It’s a four person relay where everyone runs a two mile leg. I ran the first leg in 14:20. For me, that was excellent. I figured anything less than 15 minutes was great. Under 14 minutes would have been unreal. Our team seemed [...]

Just got back from Arkansas. My run saturday was very hilly. My Garmin shows an elevation change of 2300 feet. My legs were pretty beat. The run was 8 miles. I did not bring water with me, I wish I did. By the end, I felt pretty thirsty. Sunday was a shorter run. Although hilly, [...]

Ran around the neughboorhood in the late afternoon. Good adjustment to schedule, I wanted to workout at work, but got busy at lunch and end of the day. The weather was near perfect again. Easy run, but I still managed an 8:49 min/mile pace. The last couple of miles were the quickest. Fantastic week seven days [...]

Got to the track right after work. The evening was gorgeous. Temperatures were in the 60s with low humidity. I ran 3X600 at 2:45. Switched to doing 6X200 at 49-50 seconds. I was surprised at how consistent each interval was. My 200s were a little slow. I was running hard, I just did not feel [...]
