Month: February 2014

After missing my run on Tuesday and cutting my run yesterday 3 miles short I needed to make up some ground tonight.  So instead of the scheduled 4 miles I put in 8 instead. The run wasn’t bad in the end but it certainly wasn’t my best and it started pretty rough.  I had my…

Wednesday nights our kids have music lessons and we end up basically running around with them from when I get home from work until 8 o’clock or so and then by the time we get them to bed I am kind of pooped.  Plus there really isn’t time then to get in what I usually…

Almost quit 3 times in the last hour or so.  It took everything I had to keep going and was down to walking every 5 minutes by the end.  Only had 2 minutes of walking in the first hour and a half but at least another 10 minutes of walking in the last hour. I’m…

Between getting up a touch late this morning and my wife having to get our son to curling practice I did not have time to get in my full 9 miles this morning – so ended up pushing through 5 miles before I ran out of time. I then hit the treadmill again tonight after…

I mean it has fruit in it – it can’t be too bad… I found out about this beer (Schofferhofer Grapefruit Hefeweizen) in Epcot at Disney World – they have it at the German pavilion in World Showcase.  I enjoy a good hefeweizen / wheat / white beer and when I had one on our…

I missed my run yesterday, but since I gave myself an unscheduled run Monday that was longer than the one I missed, I don’t feel too bad about that.  But that also meant that, even though I had to get on the treadmill later than I would have liked tonight, I had get moving and…

Whoohooo – finally enough of a break in the cold to be able to take a run outside!  I didn’t have a run scheduled for today but I had to take advantage of the sunlight and warmer air.  Was rewarded with a nice red prairie sunset out of the deal as well. We had about…

Today’s run was a bit of a weird one.  Our daughter is a bit sick and that caused a not very great night sleep so I didn’t get up as early as I would have liked.  And that meant I skipped breakfast before hopping on the treadmill for my planned 13.1 mile run. My intention…

I wasn’t able to get running first thing this morning in time for my wife to take our son to curling lessons so I ended up holding off on today’s run until this afternoon.  I don’t normally like running in the afternoon because it always feels like it takes more time out of the day…

First run back on the treadmill since we got back from our family vacation to Disney World.  Treadmill felt pretty disappointing after my last run being on the Boardwalk! Also felt pretty sluggish and heavy tonight – it was also my first day back in the office today with most of my time spent catching…
