A stronger push tonight – now that I have figured out my goals for 2015, I am feeling a bit more energized and happy to push harder. The new treadmill is helping here too – so far it seems to be able to take everything I can throw at it and not flinch. I started…

I have been thinking for a while now about what my goals should be for 2015. I didn’t want to lock myself down to anything until after the Dopey Challenge was completed and I saw if I met my goals there or not. With the Dopey Challenge now complete and those goals met, I have now had…

So tonight was the first real run since the Dopey Challenge finished up a little over a week ago and it was also the first real run I got in on our new treadmill. Bit of strange run. First about the treadmill – a while back I broke our heavier duty treadmill and after a…

Ok – last run of the 2015 Dopey Challenge…up and at ‘em! (see my quick report for the 5k, 10k and half marathon here) So as a warning this report is long 🙁  But it has pictures 🙂  But lots of those pictures have me in them 🙁 Again the wake up call and alarms…

So the quick race reports below haven’t been edited very much – I just quickly dumped out some thoughts about how the races went and what I enjoyed to get something up on the blog. I will update and do more thorough race / trip reports later but for now here is how the Dopey…

Alrighty – so I took today off work so I could sleep in and then get my final organization done for the Dopey Challenge before I leave tomorrow morning. And of course I end up waking up an hour before my alarm would normally go off on a work day…and I couldn’t get back to…

So I did a 3.1 mile run on Saturday and another today. Just plugging away at the last few miles of taper, trying to keep the legs stretched out and not do anything silly (like try to get one last speed run in). Saturday’s run was 3.1 miles in 25:20 and today’s was 3.1 miles…

With less than a week to go before I make it to Disney World for the 2015 Walt Disney World marathon and the Dopey Challenge, I thought it would be a good time to sit down and think about what I want to do there (besides run the races and spend tons of money at…

With the 5 miles I ran last night and another 5.3 this afternoon I have now hit 1971.0085 miles for the year. And with that I am done for 2014! For more details and highlights for the year 2014 click here. I have posted a comparison of my 2012/2013/2014 training here to view as well. Quick…

As I have now completed my miles for 2014 (and Dopey Challenge 2015 taper is in effect), I wanted to review my mileage from this year versus last year’s and see what kind of progress I have made. Quick highlights for 2014 are: Goofy Challenge #4 completed in January. Winnipeg Police Service Half Marathon (WPS…
