20 miler in the books!!! Man it feels great. The run was in the same basic area as the 17 miler, exept this time there was no blizzard to contend with. I also made sure I drank plenty of water the entire time and used two packages of shot blocks. I was able to complete [...]
The day after the hardest day of my life…sick…concerns…long blog…get comfy
Ok, so it’s been a while since my last post. I won’t bother making up for lost time, but I will sum up a few things. Last weekend I ran my first race ever. Greg, Zach, Taylor and myself all participated in the Anthem 5k in Louisville. Everyone did well and finished in the top [...]
15 in the books….4 miler….injury
Saturday’s run was another furthest for all but one of the runners (David’s already accomplished his first marathon). 15 miles is certainly a long way, but we stuck to the plan and maintained a reasonable pace and got through it in roughly 2.5 hrs.
As for today’s follow-up run, it was the easiest run to date [...]
Need for speed
Surprisingly, today’s 4 miler was easy going. I didn’t know what to expect after Saturday’s mini-marathon. All systems were “a go” today, and I felt the need for speed. I avoided major hills today…not all hills, just the really large one’s I’ve been running the last week or so. I purposely pushed the pace today [...]
Mini Marathon….hardest run for me to date
I’m proud to say that in roughly a month and a half I’ve gone from complete couch potato to mini-marathoner. It’s hard to believe that’s possible, but obviously it is.
This run, however, was a slap in the face. All the hill training I’ve done lately would have seemed to be to my advantage today, but [...]
Still climbing hills…still loving it
The roads were for the most part all cleared up tonight for my 5 miler. A few patches of black ice, but I was able to spot them in advance. The sidewalks were still covered with snow and ice, though, so I couldn’t run from my house to downtown, so instead I drove downtown and [...]
Plan B
So much for running 4 miles on Monday. After reviewing all weather reports I’d seen throughout the day, I didn’t expect to see what had occurred in Frankfort by the time I got home. When I left the office, there was a flake or two coming down. When I got to the parking garage the [...]
Ready for the next run….
Saturday’s run was the farthest I’ve run at one time…I think most of the group can say the same thing. The run started later than our normal Saturday runs and I don’t know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. I was pumped up for this run all morning.
11.3 miles is a [...]
Starting to Enjoy Hills
The last 3 miler for a long time continued the trend from this weekend’s 7 miler and Tuesday night’s 5 miler. I Ran basically the same route as the 5 miler except I added a really nice hill in the middle and shortened the flat areas. The middle hill was a little tough, but felt good [...]
can’t wait for warmer weather
Yesterday’s run was an easy 3 miler, not much to say except it feels awesome to be saying it like that.
Today normally would have been a rest day, but looking at the weather, I decided to go ahead and run tomorrow’s 5 miler tonight. It was awesome. A little humid, but somewhere around 60 degrees. There [...]
