Hill interval runs tonight – pretty tough – I did better than last week’s interval run but I was feeling the running in my hips and I could tell my gait wasn’t a smooth as it should have been.  Going to have to work out the kinks in the hips because I am pretty sure…

Run tonight was scheduled at 8 miles and I wanted to try it at near abouts a race pace of 7.5 mph average – and I hit that in the end.  It took some work but I pulled it off.  Most of the running was at 8 mph with the longest stretch being 9 minutes.…

Did some pretty hard pushing on the treadmill tonight – I started with a 2.5 minute warm up at 12% incline for 0.17 miles – good leg stretch to start as I was feeling a bit tight.  The actual run was intervals tonight and I alternated a minute at 7 mph and a minute at…

Didn’t get to bed quite as early last night as I did the night before – combine that with being tired from getting up way too early yesterday and I ended up missing my alarm.  I vaguely remember hearing the alarm and hitting the snooze button and then wondering why the button wasn’t working…it was…

I went to bed pretty early last night and instead of sleeping to my normal body decided if I wanted to go to bed early it wanted to get up early.  So there I was laying in bed at 4 am waiting for my alarm to go off at 6:15 and then I started doing…

So first hill training session in quite some time – I was kind of dreading it actually but in the end it felt pretty good.  It was nice to push! The treadmill hill interval program only runs 30 minutes so I did that and hit 3.6 miles in a half hour and then I restarted…

Felt good on the run – first mid range run since the WFPS half on the weekend and there doesn’t appear to be any damage.  I took it easy so I could monitor myself and watch for any issues.  Looks good – green light for Goofy Challenge training! Had some issues with the treadmill though…

10th anniversary of the WPS Half Marathon is May 4th, 2014 – signed up today and looks like there were many who beat me to it.  I am pretty sure they sell out every year and with this being an anniversary year they definitely will this year for sure. It seems a bit early to…

First real training run on my journey to my 4th Goofy Challenge at Disney world tonight.  Officially transitioning from my 3 half marathons in 48 days period into my training plan for the Goofy Challenge in January.  At this point the training miles are going to start to ramp up to provide more longer runs…

Hadn’t really thought about joining before but after the WFPS Half Marathon on the weekend I realized I had actually qualified.  Seems like the kind of crazy thing I want to be a part of!  Signed up – #5180 Now how am I going to move up to the next level?  Hmmm
