  • Week of August 14th – The past week in running

    Good week. Did 10 miles including two 5k’s. Will continue that pattern for the week and then move up to just 5k’s next week.

    Saw this on the driveway yesterday. Fall is just around the corner!

  • Running update – race 3 – 5k

    Did another 5k this weekend. That makes 3.

    I have done ZERO running in between. I’ve lowered my time with each race. I’m now going to start a running program and plan for another 5k and then a 10k.

    In fact I ran a couple of miles today. Should be cool to see the improvement.

    Here we go folks.

    I’ve been running a couple of miles every other day. Now I’m increasing the length and will start increasing the tempo. 

  • Outside’s “Playlists from the World’s Best Ultrarunners”

    UnknownI’ve been looking to refresh my running music lists. Here’s a list of tunes from Outside Online. Not bad. I’ll post the list of 160 BPM tunes that I run to shortly. I’m open to suggestions!

    Anyway, here’s the Outside post.

  • Just another run…

    Nice morning. Going to get into the 90’s here this afternoon so decided that I had better get this in during the early AM.

  • Running a little bit faster

    Another run, just a bit faster and consistently into the 9 minute mile mark.

  • A longer run…

    Did a bit of a longer run yesterday. 4+ miles. Felt really good. 

    Then spent the morning helping my Dad remove a stump. 

  • ..and the running beat goes on…

    I changed my modus operandi today. I got up early-ish and went for a run. Generally, I’m not organized enough to get up in the morning and then go for run.

    Time to make some changes though and this is one of them.

    The thing is that running in the morning is generally a LOT better than running in the afternoon. The temp is cooler and it’s a great way to get the motor running in the AM.

    The traffic on our road starts getting a bit crazy @ 7am so I need to get out earlier to avoid that.

    In case anyone is curious below is one of the songs from the playlist I had going. Love the guitars slinking around on this one.

    Hasta la vista…baby.
