So instead of a speedy 4 miles, I opted for an normal paced run of the same distance. I just wanted to see how fast I would do it if I just “didn’t push it” but rather just ran at a comfortable pace. My answer: 4 miles in 37:50. That’s a average pace of […]
Felt good today. Got out there and wanted to find out how fast I could run 4 miles non-stop. My answer: Ran 4 miles in 34:12… that’s a an 8:33mile average…not bad. But I can’t imagine keeping that pace up for the full 26 miles. And yet, if I want to qualify for Boston someday, […]
Does your running shoe have arch support? Mine does. It’s there to help me because my arch tends to collapse as I run. Its no big deal. This is common in many people. The technical term is: pronate (as in, my foot pronates when I run). Well, today, the arch support (for some unknown reason), […]
So today I ran 6 miles in 53:26. The good news is my feet began to hurt on my 4. Why is that good news? Because I was running in my Asics instead of my Saucony. The good news is that it isn’t my shoes that caused my discomfort last time I was running. Although […]
I ran 4 miles at an average pace today (total time 37:43; 9:26 min/mile). When I finished, my feet felt like they were inflated inside my shoe and I felt some discomfort. I wonder if it’s finally time to retire these shoes…
I ran 2 official marathons in these shoes (L.A. 2006, Phoenix 2008), not […]
hmmm… remember how I said that sometimes your body seems to be a machine ready to tear up the road like well tuned car? Although that may be true, the inverse is also true. Sometime, you go out for a morning drive and you the engine starts knocking, the engine overheats, smoke comes out of […]
The 2 Running Fools actually ran together today. This was actually our first time running together. And of course I had to drive over to his neck of the woods. Only a 90 minute drive–which explains why this is the first time we ran together.
Andrew knows of a running trail over by his place were […]
10 miles. I haven’t run 10 miles in a while but today we did it. We ran this trail near my place (the trail I used for training for my San Diego R&R marathon) and it was such a nice day out. Not too hot, not too cold.
I realized something during this […]
I had planned on running 6 miles at a medium pace at the local high school. Although it’s easier for me just to go outside my door and start running, I figured my knees would appreciate running on the softer track. Since I was there I decided to re-calibrate my Nike+.
After I had done so, […]
I had planned on running 4 miles lightly today, but I decided to give my legs the day off. I probably could have ran them, but I played hooky instead. Discretion is the better part of valor… he who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day…I must be cruel to be kind.. oh […]
