Yeah…I went to put on my shoes to get on the treadmill and smelt something a bit odd. Realized the cat had relieved herself on my runners for some reason. In the laundry with those! Then out came the disinfectant and some other cleaners and I cleaned up around the area of the treadmill and…

Mothers’ Day today so I wanted to make sure to go get a run done before the wife got out of bed. I needed to get 18 miles in today and by the time I woke up I realized that wasn’t going to happen before breakfast so I headed out to do a shorter run.…

Things have been a bit tight for time around here the past couple days! I missed out on my run on Thursday night (that was more due to exhaustion than a time crunch though), I couldn’t run last night as it was way too late after we got home from the kids’ swimming lessons, couldn’t…

I wasn’t sure if I was going to do another shorter recovery run tonight or a longer training run and I still hadn’t decided when I got on the treadmill. So I started off nice and steady and when I hit the 5 mile mark I was feeling really good still so I decided to…

Felt good tonight getting on the treadmill but was tempted to back off the run from a scheduled 5 down to 3 miles. I figured if I was going to do that then I needed to get the 3 done quickly so at least I would get some speed work in even if I backed…

1:46:00 221 /1445 finishers 168/683 males 23/91   M4044 Yay! A nice new PR for the half distance! Strange thing is I’m not entirely sure how I feel about that. Obviously I am happy to get a new PR but I wasn’t expecting it and a few things from the past few days and weeks should…

My knee was aching for most of last night after my run so I decided to switch out my running shoes earlier than I had planned. The pair from last night were at around 320 miles and I figured I should be able to get 350 or so based on my last pair but the…

A good solid run tonight – right knee wasn’t happy for a bit in the middle of the run but seemed to settle out. I will have to watch that on the run tomorrow to make sure I don’t aggravate it before the WPS Half Marathon on Sunday. The shoes I am currently using on…

Wasn’t sure what was going to happen tonight on the treadmill. I got on with a sore back and a headache…after about 5 minutes both of those worries were gone. Whoohoo! I did my version of intervals tonight – 1 minute at a slower speed, 1 minute at a faster speed, 1 minute back at…

I did however forget to put on nipple protectors…ouch. I also forgot to charge my Garmin yesterday and it died on me a little over 2 hours in.  I run a running tracking app on my phone when I run as well as a back up but it is not as fast to check on…
