Month: December 2013

I have posted my year end review already but now I want to talk about my thoughts for 2014.  I won’t call them resolutions because anything I need to resolve to do I shouldn’t be waiting until the new year to start on…so let’s call them thoughts or ideas for now and some will become…

Well…that about wraps it up for 2013!  It has been a bit of a doozy with lots of ups and downs but nicely everything is moving in a nice positive direction!  Basically I am heading into my 4th Goofy Challenge in the best shape I have ever been for one and seriously have the potential to…

Quick solid push tonight to get my 4 scheduled miles in before the beer starts to flow!  Felt strong and never got below 7.5 mph on the run and had several minutes up to 8+ mph.  Good solid confidence building run to end the year!  Feeling awesome. I will get up a 2013 year in…

Just a quick strong push tonight to add a few unscheduled miles to top up my mileage for the year.  I still have a 4 mile run scheduled tomorrow and then 2013 is in the bag. Everything felt good and fell into place quickly.  Nice quick recovery considering I did 13.5 yesterday, guess that training…

Good solid run this morning for my last double digit training run heading into the Goofy Challenge in January!  Felt strong, steady and healthy.  Feeling good and confident with about a week and a half to go until we head to Disney World.  Looking at the time – in 2 weeks from right now I…

I had 4.5 miles scheduled today but decided to pull a full hour instead and had a decent run of 7.2 miles.  I had a few minutes of walking in there but most of the running was at 7.5 or 7.2 mph with a 5 minute stretch of 8 mph right at the end.  It…

Continuing to put in the miles for the Goofy Challenge in January – feeling good and very confident for the race.  Bring it on! I had a solid run on Tuesday afternoon (Christmas Eve) putting in 5 miles in 38:41 at 1% – not my fastest but it felt very solid and really felt like…

This was the last hard weekend before tapering begins for the Goofy Challenge in January at Disney World.  I had both a 10 mile and 20 mile run scheduled for the weekend – I had to do it on the treadmill due to some high windchill readings but I got it done. The 10 miler…

Awesome run tonight – 3 weeks until our travel day to the Walt Disney World marathon / Goofy Challenge and this is my last high mileage week before tapering starts and I really needed to push.  I had a rough run last night (5 miles in 44:52) and needed a check in the win column…
