Month: June 2013

228.5 this morning after a road trip yesterday to visit family – too much food! So it is 2 weeks this morning since the Manitoba Marathon – still feeling very solid and strong – the first couple days after the marathon were very good – I was a bit tired but had no trouble with…

In part one (http://biggoofyrunner.com/manitoba-marathon-2013-june-16-2013-part-1-how-i-did/) I talked about my times and how I felt about that – in part two I will more give a story of the race and the day itself. Started out being startled awake by the alarm on my phone – I had set it as a back up alarm but it went…

Whoohoo – finished – 4:40:07.6 Official time shows me at the half way mark at 2:01:29 – I made a couple stops to say hi to the wife and kids so was probably under 2 hours there (2nd stop was right before so I probably would have made it under 2 hours with just even…

231.5 when woke up and 230.5 after morning run. I did a quick 2.2 mile run in 21 minutes outside this morning as a bit of a warm up for tomorrow and to keep the legs loose.  Run felt good – felt out of breath for a couple minutes right at the start which had…

231.5 when I woke up and 233 after evening run. Run was 4 miles in 32:40 with 1 minute of walking, 5 minutes at 7.2 mph and the remainder at 7.5 mph (longest stretch was 17:40).  Run felt not too bad but it took quite a bit to keep pushing – I think this was due…

I have posted a page with my game plan and to take list of the Manitoba Marathon on Sunday June 16th. It can be accessed here: http://biggoofyrunner.com/manitoba-marathon-plan-and-to-take-list/

232 when I woke up and 233.5 after 3 mile run on treadmill (I watched what I ate today so not sure why the weight gain over the day) The run tonight was not too bad – was relatively quick at 24:12 with 1 min of walking, 2 minutes at 8 mph and the rest…

231.5 when woke up this morning and 231.5 after run tonight Run was 4 miles in 32:30 with 1 minute of walking, 1 minute at 7.2 mph and the remainder at 7.5 mph on the treadmill. Everything felt pretty solid – definitely never felt out of breath and did not cheat on the treadmill.  I…

229.5 when woke up and 225.5 after morning run (bit of a surprise there – I don’t think I have hit under (even after a run) since I started this adventure back in September) Run today was 12.1 miles outside completed in 1:55 – not as fast as the WPS Half Marathon but still pretty good…

230.5 when I woke up and 228.5 after morning run Run was 4.5 miles in 41:16 outside – no stops, breaks or fuel on the run and had no breakfast before the run.  Things felt pretty good even though it wasn’t particularly warm outside and there was a fairly strong cold north wind to contend with. A…
