Woke up with a headache, which is never a good thing – also felt a couple stomach twinges that I chalked up to being hungry.  So I popped a couple Tylenol to take care of the headache, had a quick snack and headed out to run figuring both the head and stomach were sorted. The…

Definitely a hard start to the run tonight – not much energy in my legs and my right knee was not pleased about something. It was bad enough I contemplated cutting the run short but after about a mile and a half I managed to get things to settle down so I continued on and…

I decided that tonight I should try a mid length run at near the pace I need to run at to hit my half marathon PR on the Winnipeg Police Service half marathon in a week and a half. I ran the first hour without stopping at 7.5 mph before taking a 1 minute walk.…

Since I got into the Dopey Challenge through early registration as an Annual Passholder and the weather finally turned nice enough to run outside, I figured I would give myself a bit of a challenge over the Easter long weekend. I had 4 days off work and was able to get out and run. So…

Decent run on the treadmill tonight even with a headache plaguing me through most of it. I didn’t want to push too hard after putting in over 30 miles over the weekend – plus I repaired my treadmill on Friday and I wanted to make sure it was solidly functional before I tried to kill…

The warranty parts for my old treadmill showed up on Wednesday and since I was off work today I got a chance to fix the machine.  Ended up getting a new breaker, on/off switch, power cord socket, some power cabling (that had gotten crispy), a new motor control board (that had gotten kinda smoky) a…

Whoohooo – 4 day weekend!!! And so far I am on track to get 4 runs in outside this weekend.  I will be doing 4.4 mile laps during the runs – 1 lap today, 2 tomorrow, 3 Sunday and ? Monday. On Monday I want to do 3 laps for sure but maybe more if…

I only had 6 miles scheduled tonight but I was feeling pretty amped after signing up for the 2015 Dopey Challenge earlier today. So I kind of unloaded and went for 10 miles instead. I only walked for one minute in there (after I was 6 miles in) and I managed a few minutes all…

Kinda pumped here – early registration for Disney Annual Passholders for the Walt Disney World Marathon weekend opens tomorrow April 16th at noon eastern. I am an annual passholder and I am going to register as soon as I can tomorrow for my 5th Goofy Challenge (the 10th anniversary race no less)….but I have been…

An interesting run tonight on the treadmill. I didn’t really feel like I had it and I never really pushed all that hard but my time for 5 miles was pretty decent.  Odd. My right knee was hurting a bit in the first couple miles but it settled down and started feeling decent. Most of…
