A short update

It's been a good running month.  I hit 109 total for the month- my second highest month ever.  Plus I did 34 miles on my bike and 9.6 miles walking.  Except for some soreness in my abs, I'm injury free.  Here's hoping for a good 10 mile run tomorrow. 

Long time no blog

Busy running and recovering. Halfway through my half marathon training program. Today's run:

Lots of short trails

I took a drive and ran on the trails at the nature park. Soft surfaces and some big hills.

Tuesday's very fast run

Tuesday I accomplished one of my New Year's resolutions: run a mile in 6:00. I did it in 5:55. Check out my 1/4 mile lap times in the photos- the top number.

Too busy to blog

I've been busy this week trying to keep up with my training plan while rehabbing a muscle strain. Yesterday's long run went better than expected.

A weather forecast a runner can live

"B" stands for below average temperatures for the next 6-10 days.

Loosen up

After Saturday's long run, today was a nice run to loosen up all of my muscles and get ready for a fast mile tomorrow.

Early AM run

Now this is running weather.

A little bit of fast...

...makes the run a lot more fun.

It's still summer

I felt like I was swimming as much as running through this humidity.

Very fast delivery

I ordered this 2 days ago. I jumped for joy when the UPS man left it on my doorstep this afternoon.

Easy run in the heat

I enjoy finding new places to run and running on them, it lets me feel free.

1 month late

I wish I had read this a month ago.
