Wednesday start

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

Well this running week starts on a Wednesday. And a ran a shortened version of the Villa Road loop–cut off the last mile of that loop for a 2.25 mile run. Had Frodo with me, so that’s why I shortened it.

Long week

Thursday, August 25th, 2005

This is the third day this week that I’ve over 3 miles. That’s probably a record for weekly distance: 10.4 miles. I’m stoked that even though I’ve been running on the street, I don’t have shinsplints (knock on wood).
I left Frodo at home today, hoping to run a little faster. Don’t know that it helped […]

Second day in a row

Wednesday, August 24th, 2005

Second morning in a row that I ran. Took “Slo Fro” and we shuffled along the 3.6 mile Dayton Ave route. I think I’ll ditch Fro tomorrow and just run alone. Frodo would do better with a long walk, I think…
Today’s run went well, Frodo notwithstanding. No cramps, felt pretty strong the whole way. But […]

Slower

Ran the 3.2 mile Villa Road loop this morning with Frodo. He still slows me down, but I don’t like leaving him at home because he whines and cries and wakes everyone up. So we go slow.
Meant to run yesterday, but couldn’t find Fro’s leash. And I didn’t want to leave him at home because […]

Keepin’ on

Ran the 3.6 mile loop again this morning, this time without Frodo. At one point I wished Fro was with me because there was a really big Rottweiler off the leash, just wandering around the country road. I stopped running and just walked past him and he kinda hid behind some bushes watching me. Fortunately […]

Ouch

Ran Dayton Ave this morning, with Frodo. We went slow, in part because Frodo is a slowpoke, but also because I had some gnarly side cramps that made it hard to breathe. We actually ended up walking the last half mile or so home.

A little longer

Monday, August 8th, 2005

Did the 3.2 mile loop this morning with Frodo. Running with the dog slowed me down a bit, since he wanted to walk after about 2.5 miles. But he was game to start running again, so we did, albeit at a slower pace.
Overall, it felt like a pretty good run. A little cramped up in […]

Easy does it

Friday, August 5th, 2005

Did the short loop again today with Frodo. Just starting small… Next week I’ll do one of the longer loops on Monday.

And yet again

Frodo and I did the 1.5 mile loop for starters again. Frodo did really well and ran the whole way…nice.
