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 […]
Today was a fun day. I am happy to announce that I completed the Rock n Roll Phoenix Marathon in 4 hours 58 minutes and 19 seconds (click here and search for bib # 5189 in 2008). Not bad for only 3 and a half weeks of training, huh? I stopped to take various […]
I flew in earlier today, picked up my rental, and drove to the expo. Parking was difficult to find. I had to walk 6 blocks to get to the expo, but there was no way I was going to pay $30.00 for parking. I picked up my number and then went to the upgrade […]
I ran 2 miles today in 18:16. I didn’t intend on going fast. I just ran at what I considered a normal pace. Here’s a contradiction though: even though I considered this a normal pace, at the same time, my body felt like it was being pushed to run past it’s normal limit.
It wasn’t a […]
I ran 4 miles non-stop today in 33:27. Even though I still plan on walking during the marathon, I’m thinking of incorporating non-walking workouts during smaller runs (6 and under). I was tired at the end of today’s run, but in a good way. It was that tired that you are proud of because […]
I planned on running 10 slow miles today. I ran 16 instead. Not bad for my 6th run in 2 1/2 weeks.
I feel like it’s a shame to spend all that time and effort on the upcoming race in Arizona and not run the full marathon. So I tested my legs today to see if […]
Andrew told me about another website that keeps track of your Nike+ stats. It’s called RunnerPlus.com. We both profiles up there now. Andrews profile is here and mine is here.
Ankle seems fine today. We’ll test it again tomorrow with a slow 10 miler. The Half-Marathon in Phoenix is almost here, so I […]
My first run of the New Year was today: 6 miles in 56 minutes. Unfortunately I managed to twist my ankle on the last mile. I pray to God it’s not serious.
I was still able to continue running and finish at a decent tempo.
Truthfully, I feel good and I don’t think I caused serious […]
Good stuff today: I bought a Nike+ and registered with their website.My profile is now up there with 0 current miles.
For those that aren’t familiar with it, the Nike+ is a pedometer that works with most iPods. It keeps track of your distance and speed. When done with a run, you connect your iPod […]
