Quick log. Mile repeats on Tuesday: 6.27, 6.00, 6.04, 6.01. Felt relaxed. Ran the last three alone. I feel like I’m sort of stuck in between groups. Trying to learn not to “race” these interval workouts. Learning that I don’t need to kill it every time, especially when I’m preparing for a race. I signed […]
Ten miles this morning on the trail. Couldn’t make it Saturday morning because I was busy helping my Cub Scout win his Pack’s Pinewood Derby. Really, he just won the Tiger Cubs portion of the event, but still pretty cool. Considering I, uh I mean “we”, started building the car Wednesday, and I was still […]
Today we have guest blogger Jessica: 10 years ago today, David and I met at Iron Cactus on 6th street. My dear friend Sara introduced us. She had known David for years through their friend Aron. I had known Aron for a few years b/c we all went to SWT together. The following Tuesday, I […]
I’m so lame. Sure there’s ice about and it’s a bit cold, but really, how did I become a walker? Yeah, that’s right, yesterday after the “snow event” I went for a 45 minute walk. I blamed it on the weather, and not having any clean, dry, warm running clothes. But in my defense, it […]
Ok, that was crazy. Zig zagging through darkness, flash floods, calf-deep quicksand, fallen branches, hundred meter puddles and raindrops in the eye. Saturday morning was an insane peek into the dementia of running. There should be limits to one’s dedication.When I left the house at 5:30 a.m. it was a mild morning. By the time […]
Jessica said, “you could have done two more”. I don’t know. Perhaps I’m a dud. Although I did run 18 400s last night, I’m disappointed I didn’t run 20. Worthless and weak. And to add injury to insult, I cramped up pretty badly later at home when i tried to take my sock off. Ouch. […]
Yeah, so my goal of blogging regularly didn’t last very long. Actually, I didn’t make any new year’s resolutions, just some vague nonsense about “taking it to the next level.” Whatever that means. Perhaps I’ll have to shut this thing down. I mean if I don’t have the creativity to properly invest in it, what’s […]
Saturday Dec 23rd, solo 10 miles on the TLT: 7.48, 7.26, 7.23, 7.32, 7.22, 7.19, 7.02, 7.07, 6.42, 6..26 Monday Dec 25th, 3.75 miles around the neighborhood. Tuesday Dec 26th, 7 miles on the TLT. Only about 10-15 crazies showed up at 5.45. G. didn’t want to be there. Told us to just do the […]
