7.1 miles in 56:47 at 7:59 mins/ mile
Slow and easy this morning. The roads were so icy it was tough just to keep moving forward without going down. This was one morning that I wished I had driven to the park instead of running on the streets. It would have been just [...]

10.01 miles in 1:06:59 at 6:41 mins/ mile
The track was snowed in this morning. All 8 lanes were covered with about an inch of icy snow. It looked like an injury waiting to happen so I opted to move my run to the loop trail instead. I hate to admit it, but [...]

Just an easy run today. No maps or laps to post today because I lost my gps signal after about 1 mile. I’ve consistently had trouble with the gps signal on this route. I’m not sure why, but at least 50% of the time on [...]

Arghh! It’s still snowing! You skiers better be out there enjoying this, ‘cus I’m not. I was all ready for spring: sleds in the attic, bike tires pumped up, basketball hoop up-righted. Who ordered this?
This morning’s run was back to jumping on and off [...]

After struggling through the last couple of long runs, I was due for a good one. I had a good run today. I usually target about 8:24 for my long run pace. It was snowing hard this morning, and I didn’t feel like being out [...]

Short recovery run this morning. Tomorrow’s forecast is 80% chance of snow. I’m tired of winter!

14.09 miles in 1:38:44 at 7:00 mins/ mile
Tough run today. I ran out of energy in the final four miles of the tempo portion of the run. I managed to keep my average pace for the middle 10 miles to 6:38, but I was struggling at the end. It was wet and [...]

I’m 59 days from my proposed marathon and am starting to get nervous. I feel like my training has gone well and feel pretty good about my conditioning at this point. I don’t really have a planned race pace yet, but I am hoping to find [...]

Holy smokes this is a tough workout. It’s not getting any easier either. I think this was the first time I managed to keep all 6 of my miles sub 6. I was trying [...]

7.3 miles in 58:30 at 8:00 mins/ mile
I’ve been thinking a lot about my diet lately. I’m not a very good role model in this department. I eat too much in general, I eat too close to bed time, and I am a snacker. I think the same obsessive, compulsive, addictive personality [...]
