Ran this morning. Very moderate: ran 2.3 miles in 19.46 minutes, which is an 8.4 minute mile average. Not a bad pace for getting started again, but it wasn’t a very long run. That’s what I need to work on–longer distance, but keeping the pace relatively quick.
I’ve realized that I won’t run if I don’t […]
Ran today. First time in a while. I’m in Boise for the week, and hauled my shoes along. I always take my shoes and I never run. This time was different. I’m, you know, motivated.
Relatively short starter run. I don’t even know how far it was, but it lasted 24 minutes. It was a weird […]
Just ran for the first time in a while. Started easy with the 1.5 mile loop. Kept a 7.6 mile pace, which felt fine. In fact, the 10 minutes of stretching prior seemed more uncomfortable than the actual run.
I’ve been still, as in ‘not running.’ I’ve been active though–hiked a mountain, did a 5k, did an adventure race. And I walk stairs instead of elevators when I get the chance. I’ve got a 5k coming up this Monday. I’m in L.A. (at a conference) and the weather’s been nice. The 5k will be […]
Ran the 3.2 mile loop today at a nice pace that felt sustainable: 8.59. Bodyfat has been dropping lately too (looks like I’ve just edged into my goal bodyfat!), but weight isn’t doing much. I could stand to eat healthier, though, that’s for sure (not gonna happen).
I ate pretty good yesterday, I guess! Weight is way up, and I can feel it. Tasty huge cinnamon roll at Camp 18 yesterday morning, plus some great brats and beer for dinner. Whew!
Today’s sprints went fine. No pulled muscles or anything. My Achilles tendon is still sore, but I’m hitting the Aleeve and that […]
Ran the 1.5 mile loop after a few days off (never did run in Boise). I pushed a little harder (and left Frodo at home) and ended up with a 7.34 minute/mile pace. Pretty good.
In about a week, we’re going to visit friends in Redmond. There’s a 5k in Bend that they’re going […]
Ran a little longer today. Felt like I needed to after not running since Thursday. Never did make it down to the skatepark, since it stayed wet all weekend. Today’s loop went at a 8.85 minute pace. Seems like I could’ve gone a little faster, but there was a section in there where I was […]
Didn’t run yesterday or today. Yesterday was a legit rest day, but today I worked hard moving lots of (heavy) furniture. Just got back from moving a pipe organ up to the second floor of someone’s house! There were six of us moving that thing–it was heavy!
Tomorrow I’ll probably go skate in the morning. Also […]
I decided to run at the track this morning to see if I could do 3.25 miles with sub 8-minute miles. I had it all figured out that I needed to basically run each lap faster than 2 minutes. I didn’t account for the fact that the outside lane of the track is .025 longer […]
