With a medium speed mile yesterday and haulin pretty decently tonight I have hit just under 60 miles so far for the month. I am definitely starting to get re-energized. I still have a long way to go to get back to where I was but I see signs of life at this point. I…

I’ll start off with a quick congratulations to everyone who ran at the Walt Disney World Marathon weekend this year. I am still standing by my decision to find a way to make that happen again for me next January. So today I spent most of the afternoon patching drywall and repainting…the pups were pretty…

Seven days into 2016 and I am seven days into the run streak (technically eight since I ran on Dec 31st…) and I am 33.98 miles into it. Considering I ran a grand total of 36.6 through December 2015 – I would say I am off to a pretty good start. Current daily average is sitting at…

So I have been thinking for a while about what my goals and plans for 2016 should be. While I did have some great events, overall my running did not go very well in 2015. My mileage and speed are way down and the weight I previously lost is coming too far back – not…

The 5.22 miles I ran on the treadmill tonight takes me to a total of 1171 miles in 2015 – 800 less than last year. With a combo of illness, injury, tanked motivation and flat out laziness I certainly got a lot less miles in this year. I had indicated at the end of last…

The Walt Disney World Marathon weekend is coming up in about a month and my jealousy has been building since I am not running it after a 4 year streak. That has gotten me reminiscing about the races and I have a lot of great memories, but I also have realized that I made many…

It has been an interesting week for weather… Last Sunday I did 4.45 miles by myself and then another 0.85 miles with the pups. We then took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather to spend a few hours wandering around the zoo. A few days off of running and then 7 miles on the treadmill…

Two days into my updated recovery plan and I was already off track. A few family things took over the time I had scheduled for running on Wednesday and Thursday – this left some miles to try to recover today. I had 4.45 miles on the schedule, so it wasn’t too hard to add some additional…

First day of my new plan to get back in shape for the spring and even though I had a pretty rough day and didn’t get started until late, I figured I couldn’t screw up and had to get the miles in. And if I was going to do it, I was going to try to…

Whoops – been slacking on the blog! And on running too for that matter but I have been trying to be smart about repairing my left ankle so I have a minor excuse at least. So since my last post, I have have run about 6 times with the longest being at around the 9…
