7.63 miles outside – great weather but very sloppy roads and trails – had to stop early as my knee was aggravated

Unfortunately I had to cut short my run this morning – the weather was great – right around the freezing mark with little to no wind. It felt great out there. Unfortunately that also meant that the roads, sidewalks and paths I run on were not in great shape. There was a lot of slushy…

Steady 7 miles in 59:48 on the treadmill – just a nice steady run to keep pushing toward the Dopey Challenge

No drama tonight – got on the treadmill and set it at 7 mph and just kept going. At about 55 minutes I bumped the speed just a touch to make sure I hit under an hour for the 7 miles for tonight. I’m in my second last high mileage week for Dopey Challenge training…

Definitely a good day today! Got home from work to see that my info package for Disney’s Magical Express had arrived (all my bus info for the ride from the airport to the hotel for Dopey Challenge and back after).

21.5 miles over the past 3 days including a cold and slippery 10 this morning. Heading into the last couple hard weeks of Dopey Challenge training!

3 solid runs over the past 3 days – didn’t have time to blog or twitter them so I will combine them into one post here. Thursday – 7.5 miles in 59:32 on the treadmill. Decently strong run with good time spent up near 8 mph. Didn’t stay there for long periods of time as…

5 miles in 39:17 tonight on the treadmill – no drama, just pushing the mileage for Dopey Challenge

I essentially did the run tonight doing cycles of 2 minutes at 7 mph and 4 minutes at 8 mph (after some initial slower warm up). It felt good to push a little harder in the 8 mph periods as I really haven’t had much of a chance to do that lately (what with having…
