229.5 when I woke up and 228.5 after my morning run. I was scheduled to do 20 miles today but I could tell before I started that I just didn’t have the mental mindset to do what was needed.  I still went for it though – so small victory there. In the end I did…

228.5 when I woke up this morning and 226 after my morning run. Was 226.5 yesterday morning. I was finally able to do a good outdoor run today – I got up early and ran in the park.  The run itself was 10 miles in 1:38:57 – definitely slower than on the treadmill but still…

226.5 this morning and 227.5 after my run this evening. Run was a solid 5 miles in 41 minutes.  I did a total of 2 minutes of walking and the rest was at 7.5 mph.  The longest running stretch was 29 minutes.  Run felt very solid although I really wasn’t motivated to get on today.…

229.5 when woke up this morning and 228 after run this evening. Run tonight was 10 miles in 83:45 – I did 11 minute cycles – 1 min walk and 10 minutes at 7.5 mph.  This seemed to work pretty well and I felt pretty good through the whole period but was starting to wear…

231.5 when I woke up and 231.5 after my evening run. Was 230.5 yesterday morning. Run tonight was good – 5 miles in 42:10 with about 4 minutes of walking and most of the rest at 7.5.  I felt a bit tired and sluggish but I pushed through with a decent time and little to…

Looks like I managed to score a heck of a deal at Scheels in Fargo, ND on our roadtrip this weekend. As I indicated in the post: http://biggoofyrunner.com/new-shoes-nike-pegasus-29-and-what-has-happened-running-room/ I have been using Nike Pegasus shoes for quite some time for my running (almost continually back to 2002 with the occassional testing out of different shoes and…

So it is 2 weeks today to the WPS Half Marathon.  My times seem ok on the treadmill – they are certainly an improvement over where I was going into the Goofy Race and Half Challenge in January but I don’t really know where I stand right now for the upcoming race. The weather still…

232.5 when woke up and 227 after late morning / early afternoon run. Was 227.5 on Friday morning.  Don’t have a weight for Saturday morning – we went on a bit of a road trip Friday and Saturday so I missed the Saturday morning run.  Combine that with the road food and couple beers my…

226.5 when I woke up and 227.5 after evening run. The 226.5 was a nice shock – it was obviously a bit of dehydration from the run last night but it still gave a nice little motivation boost. Run tonight was 4 miles in 33:15 – 1 minute of walking at the start and then the…

229 when woke up this morning – 227.5 after evening run. Run tonight was 9 miles, completed in 75 minutes.  There were only 2 minutes of walking during the run and the rest was split between 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 mph.  Last 5 minutes were faster speeds up to 8 mph.  Run felt very strong…
