Yeah – so like I posted on Twitter – ended up being awake for about 2 – 2.5 hours overnight around 2 am with stomach issues.  Still not sure if it was a stomach flu or my body disagreeing with supper.  I ended up feeling ok when I got up around 8 this morning but…

As I said in the half marathon photos post we finally decided to purchase photos from MarathonFoto for the 2014 Goofy Challenge. This post will be for the full marathon which both my wife and I did but ran separately.  (2014 Disney World Marathon race report)  

We finally decided to purchase race photos from the 2014 Goofy Challenge and thought I would share some here on the site.  MarathonFoto got some great shots. This post will be for the half marathon that my wife and I did together. (Goofy challenge 2014 half marathon race report)  Full marathon photos will be their…

Strong half hour run on the treadmill tonight – no walking and alternating minutes of 7 and 9 mph. Also did some stretches of 9 mph for up to 3 minutes.  Felt really good to push the time on the faster speed.  Looks like it is also time to start pushing harder on the actual…

Definitely a nice solid run on the treadmill tonight – 8 miles in 66:41 @ 1% incline – set my speed at 7.2 mph and kept it there the whole run.  This helped allow the brain to wander – was kind of nice. It is awesome that the weather is starting to warm up outside…

Yeah, so – sitting on the couch reading and ended up dropping the book – not sure how long I was out but couldn’t have been more that 10 minutes.  Took that as a sign that I needed to get on the treadmill right away and not wait until after we put the kids down.…

For the run tonight I decided to take it slow so that I could try to emulate a long run outside.  I hoped to be able to let my mind wander the way it can on an outdoor run – had partial success on that front.  Just couldn’t get into the same zone…yeah – ready…

To avoid the -50C windchills this morning I ran on the treadmill…again.  9 miles in 67:51 @ 1% incline. I felt pretty solid for the run and went back to an old standby for cutting the boredom on the treadmill – constantly ramping until I hit a max and then backing off and doing it…

After missing my run on Tuesday and cutting my run yesterday 3 miles short I needed to make up some ground tonight.  So instead of the scheduled 4 miles I put in 8 instead. The run wasn’t bad in the end but it certainly wasn’t my best and it started pretty rough.  I had my…

Wednesday nights our kids have music lessons and we end up basically running around with them from when I get home from work until 8 o’clock or so and then by the time we get them to bed I am kind of pooped.  Plus there really isn’t time then to get in what I usually…
