Had a good run this morning. Ran 9.25 miles at a 6:49 pace, with three of the miles at a 6:36 pace. I am a little tired now, but feel good about the run. I am planning on running fifteen miles tomorrow for my long run of the week. Anyway, have a good day!

Ran fifteen miles this morning. I was feeling good until the last four miles when i started running against a nasty wind. So my overall pace was good, but the wind did slow me down. My pace was 7:13 and my legs are really soar now. Anyway, have a great day and weekend! :-)

Had a good run this morning. It was windy this morning, between 10 - 13 MPH. So i ran a little slower because of the wind. My pace was 7:01. I guess that is not so bad because of the wind and rain/snow. My legs were a little tired. Anyway thanks for reading and have a great day!! :-)

Had a really good run this morning. My overall pace was 6:50 with three of my miles being 6:02, 6:03 and 6:11 and i am sure feeling the pain now. So tomorrows run might be a little slow. I am planning on running fourteen to fifteen miles. A lot of tomorrows run depends on how my legs feel. But tonight is my ice bath night and i am really looking forward to having one. I know i am weird. Anyway, have a great day! :-)

Good run this morning. My overall pace was 7:02. I have to start paying attention to the roads better because i was almost hit by a car and it would have been my fault. Let me tell you that it scared me really bad. I know that God and His angels were watching over me because i should have been hit. Anyway, Thanks for reading and have a great day! :-)

A.M.: Today was one of those days were you run smart and not hard. What i am saying is my legs did not want to move today at all. So instead of pushing myself like i would have normally done i just went with the flow. I felt like if i was going to push myself i would hurt myself. So i tried to stay on the slower pace i was running and not worry about it. I ran six miles at a 7:34 pace and also the rain and 29 MPH wind did not help either. So that is my story and i am sticking to it :-). Thanks for reading and have a great day! 

P.M.: Just another run. This afternoon i ran four miles on the T-mill at a 7:01 pace.

Ran ten miles and five of it with Kory.Thanks Kory for running with me. Overall I felt I did horrible, with the wind and my pace per mile. The first five went ok I was keeping a 6:53 - 6:55 pace and it felt good, then from five miles on it felt like my legs were dead. I fell from the 6:55 pace at mile five to 7:34 pace overall. I could not even move my legs going down hills. When I looked at the temperature before it left it said 49 degrees with a 28 MPH wind coming from the W.S.W. direction. Well the last five miles were going in the W.S.W. direction so the wind did not help out at all. I am signed up to run November 7th, but now it looks like there is only a 20% chance I will be running it. I am getting a Vitamin C I.V. done on Monday, so if that does not pull me out of this sickness then there will be a 100% chance I will not be racing on November 7th. Sorry so down, but if am really frustrated. I have a hard time understanding that all the work I have put in to this point is gone, or at lease it feels that way. Any suggestions, because I sure could use some. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend.

A.M.: Ran on the t-mill today and i have to say that it felt good. I got up at my normal time to run and decided that it was just too cold for me to run and I went back to bed so i could get up when my GYM opened and run on the t-mill. And i am glad i did, i am still working on getting over this cold and i think that running outside would have been a bad idea. So i ran five miles at a 6:50 pace and it sure felt good to let my legs run a little faster today. Now tonight i am going to the doctor and getting an vitamin C IV long with some other stuff. I think that the IV will help me to get over this cold. Thanks for reading and have a great day! :-)

 

P.M.: I just went to the doctor and found out that i have walking pneumonia. He told me that i need to take two days off from running.Also,  I did get am vitamin  IV done and that should help me get through the pneumonia. I guess we will see in a couple of days. This sucks :-(.

Had a great run with Kory. I ran eight miles at a 6:33 pace and was feeling good. I had a couple of times i could feel something, but I think i have a sinus infection. But the course we ran is a fast one so i am glad to be back to normal, almost. Not much planned for today, movie (Step Father), spook alley and dancing. I usually don't like watching movies about evil Step Father because i am a Step Father, but it was a good movie. Had a good time with the wife. All my Step Kids are older, 26, 23 and 22 so no trick r treating.Anyway, I am still thinking about running the Just Cuz 1/2 marathon next week and try to run it for fun, but i know me and i would run it like a normal race. Any suggestions for running it or not? Thanks and have a great day!!!! :-)
