I really didn’t know what to expect on the run tonight. I’m still fighting off the last of a stomach bug and I was falling asleep on the couch after supper. Then when I took the kids to the park I could not run very well playing tag with them….man those little buggers are fast! So…

Still definitely fighting a stomach bug of some sort from the weekend. I ended up taking the afternoon off work to rest but things seemed to have mostly settled by supper time. So I waited a bit after supper and everything felt good so I hopped on the treadmill. Not the best of runs but…

Went out this morning with my stomach feeling a bit off but I put it down to nerves as I intended to do a really long run – like 4-5 hours long. I had a camel back filled with gatorade and a variety of different snacks and fuel in the bag to test out what…

Just a nice simple medium long run this morning. No drama at all. It was nice and sunny but was starting to get warm. All around a pleasant run. I did 2 short laps around the neighborhood this morning instead of heading out on a longer loop just to stick a bit closer to home.…

I ran last night as well but ran out of time to post about it. Last night was 8 miles in 61:20 @ 1% incline on the treadmill. My knee was hurting through the final bit of it so I definitely wasn’t going top speed. Tonight’s run I took it easy as well – I…

I didn’t post anything here on the site but I did tweet out my 18.25 mile run on Sunday morning in 2:44:19. A very solid run on a gorgeous morning. Apparently it was hotter out than I expected because even though I went through 3 bottles of liquid, I was still down 6.5 pounds over…

It’s kind of interesting – it seems that I have fallen into a bit of a pattern with my weekly runs, with different runs focused on different things to meet my overall running goals. But Saturday runs seem to be more about me than my running specifically. That sounds a bit strange but I will…

I did a 10 miler last night in 74:16 on the treadmill that I didn’t post about (I did tweet it but didn’t put anything on the site). After and during that run my knee was really hurting – the same way it was back in May before I pulled my hamstrings – so I…

I had 5 miles scheduled tonight but after a bunch of time in the pool (including some resistance training) before supper and a half hour walk with the wife and kids after supper, I was feeling pretty energized. So I decided to go pretty strong and see where I got to in the 45-50 minute…

I decided to do a quick unscheduled run tonight to test out a pair of Nike Pegasus 31s I bought last week. The shoe is fairly heavily redesigned and I was not sure how they were going to work for me, so I wanted to give them a test go before I put them in…
