Month: January 2014

Started off slow tonight as I just wasn’t focussed at all and I figured I would go easy and let my mind wander.  Still finishing off packing for our family vacation to Disney World starting in a few days and I couldn’t get my mind on track to run properly. After about a half hour…

Updated my training plan to take me to June and the Manitoba Marathon Also created a new page to keep what my training plan was to run 3 half marathon races in the fall of 2013 and the 2014 Goofy Challenge.

Good strong push tonight – wanted to get as much as I could in tonight as we head out on the road on Saturday morning for our family trip to Disney World.  With our kids having music lessons tomorrow night and swimming lessons Friday night that only leaves tonight and Thursday night for packing so…

Got up this morning and my legs were feeling a bit off after the double runs yesterday so I decided to hold off and do the run later.  And since my brain is already starting to settle into vacation mode for our family trip to Disney World next week we decided to go out for…

I ended up skipping a run last night because even climbing stairs would set off a coughing fit but tonight I figured I absolutely had to run no matter what.  So I took some cough medicine about an hour before I knew I would be able to get on the treadmill. In the end that…

So with me being off work today and the kids in school, today is a day to get errands done – stuff that has been lingering since before the Goofy Challenge trip and stuff that needs to be done before our family trip to Disney World in a couple weeks.  Still wanted to get a…

Started today’s run a little unsure what I would be able to do – I had been coughing a bit here and there through the day but I figured I had to try and see where I got to. I started doing 7 mph for 2 minutes and then 7.5 for 2 and then alternating…

I have been thinking most of the past week about what to say in this post reviewing my performance at the Goofy Challenge 2014.  Lots of my thoughts and reactions currently are a bit negative but I have been fighting a flu since Monday and that always takes me a bit towards the Dark Side…

I was going to take a break today and just rest up some more but then I heard about Meg’s Miles #megsmiles –  https://www.facebook.com/events/489458451159627/.  I wanted to show my support after reading about this tragedy.  Impaired and distracted driving is a real concern and as a parent of 2 young kids this really strikes home…
