Seventy miles two weeks ago with some good tempo miles in there. Felt the effects last week and cut the mileage to 40ish. Knob blog was hacked last week. Sold, bought and moved houses the last couple of days. Final 10k trail race on Sunday morning. A repost of an email race report: Conditions were […]
Friday morning’s three-mile run was one of the worst in recent memory. Which is odd because Friday afternoon’s six-miler was one of the best. It’s often like that, this running doubles. One just slogs through, then feels great, then terrible again. And boy did I slog on that three-miler. Finishing in doubt, all achy and […]
Summer of Knob has unofficially begun, jolting to a start this week, not exactly adhering to the tenets laid out. But Knob was tired of feeling slow and fat and lazy, and Knob wants to eat a lot, so he must work a lot, else he tubs a lot. Knob doesn’t believe in the 10% […]
Lounging at the pool yesterday with the family and some friends in the next neighborhood. We notice a flyer that reads “Family Fun Run, 1.1 miles, Free, June 4th, 7pm.” Well that’s tonight, in about 45 minutes. We see people gathering, a table full of trophies. I’m in my flip flops and have no plans […]
Sorely lacking in the Knob department, but my goal for the immediate future is to at least post short snippets of running excre…excitement. So in that spirit lets get right to it. I’ve been slacking on my running over the last few weeks, with mileage output after that Chuy’s 5K down about 40%. I’ve even […]
If you had told me three months ago that I would run a 5K in 17:50 I would have been ecstatic. If you had told me three weeks ago I would run 17:50 I would have been disappointed. Three days ago? I’d have said you were probably about right. But I’m still disappointed. The Chuy’s […]
Jessica and I ran The Maze Trail 10K on Sunday. I told Jessica not to sign me up but she did it anyway. Ah well, we got to do something together without the kids which was nice, the race was a tough mental test, the course a pleasant change of scenery from the roads, and […]
Normally I slog around for thirty or forty or whatever minutes, look at the same houses, stare at the same road, and think about how slow I am ;). This past Sunday, though, came alive with buzzards, biting dogs, baseballs, speed signs, killer trucks and little girls in the muck. I headed out the door […]
