http://bren.pintglass.org/joglog My Running Log Sun, 09 Sep 2007 15:56:01 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en 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 ... http://bren.pintglass.org/joglog/2007/09/09/starting-a-new-week/ 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 ... http://bren.pintglass.org/joglog/2007/09/05/boise-runnin/ 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. http://bren.pintglass.org/joglog/2007/07/30/back-again-3/ 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 ... http://bren.pintglass.org/joglog/2007/06/09/still/ 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). http://bren.pintglass.org/joglog/2007/05/31/moderate-is-good/ 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 ... http://bren.pintglass.org/joglog/2007/05/29/fat-sprints/ Taking a little rest right now. Got a strange pain in my left Achilles tendon that won't go away. Probably from the new shoes plus the superfeet inserts. They make my heels higher than normal and I think that's hurting the tendon when I run. Gonna let it rest for ... http://bren.pintglass.org/joglog/2007/05/27/resting/ 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 ... http://bren.pintglass.org/joglog/2007/05/25/quick-mile-and-a-half/ 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 ... http://bren.pintglass.org/joglog/2007/05/21/longer-run/ 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 ... http://bren.pintglass.org/joglog/2007/05/19/alternate-workouts/
