Month: March 2014

Definitely a strong push tonight.  Probably my fastest run since late January and I felt great after making me think I could have gone harder.  Good confidence booster at any rate.  I will have to build on this. The run had no walk breaks and my speed alternated between 7.2 and 9 mph for 1…

I haven’t talked about my weight on the blog in a while – mostly because I have been sitting kind of steady with my weight and there really hasn’t been anything to report one way or the other…but I want to get my weight coming down again for some upcoming races and posting about it…

Got a late start on the run today – didn’t run in the morning and with several hours driving around shopping I didn’t get running until after 4 pm.  Bit of a storm rolling in but I figured I could beat it and the storm was actually bringing warmer temps so I thought I should…

Got up too late this morning to get my full 9 mile run in this morning before my wife took our son to his curling practice.  I did manage to get in a solid 5 miles though and then had to break to get groceries and do a bunch of running around.  Finished up another…

After I wrote my nightly run post I started wondering why it has been so hard to run this week. My diet is a bit off normal and I’m not getting enough sleep since the time change but even combining those two things it really didn’t seem to explain why I have been having such…

Yep – definitely hard to get moving today – I knew right off the bat that I wasn’t going to be able to move fast today.  Too stiff and sore and just tired all around.  So I decided to just take it easy and let the run happen and get the miles done. Even going…

I wasn’t sure going into the run if I was going to do my scheduled 9 or push it off until tomorrow and do tomorrow’s 4 miles today.  I am just physically exhausted at this point – I don’t think I have adjusted to the time change yet and I am just not getting enough…

As I said in my post on Sunday – I managed to get a good cloud of smoke come out of our treadmill.  I was worried it was off warranty and it would essentially be scrap but found out it is still on parts warranty but not on labor.  Awesomely we found out today they…

With only 7 weeks or so to go until the Winnipeg Police Service half marathon I decided it was time to get serious about getting my speed up.  I want to finally break my 2002 PR for a half (1:46:11) and this is the race to do it.  I got to 1:47:14 in the fall…

Yeah.  Major smoke.  It was warm enough to run outside today but the paths near our house had over a foot of snow still on them as of yesterday.  So I decided to do my 18 miler today on the treadmill. Took it easy and did a steady 7.2 mph for the first hour and…
