I have gone over the deep end. I ran another 10k tonight. I was looking for every excuse under the sun to not run tonight. But in the end I just went. I decided to run to the gym, lift, and then maybe run back. I told Terra she might have to pick me up depending on how I felt. I was tired but not sore so I hit the pavement running. Sorry that was a bad joke. Here was my run to the gym. Not too shabby of a 5k time for running 20k the...

Not sure what got into me this weekend. But before Terra and I went out for our 12th anniversary I decided to run. I put in a 10k on a new rout I put together. Here is the rout. I start at the house icon, run to the flag and turn around backtracking my way back home. This is a nice rout. So much so I ran it again tonight. So that make over 20k in the last 24 hours. Not bad for an old man who hates to run. Friday night I was not...

Tonight I had a great run. I was a little tired and took a quick thirty minute nap before hitting the pavement. I set my iPod to 8k since I wanted to put in some good miles for some of my challenges on the Nike Plus website. I started out slow wanting to build up my speed a little each kilometer. That is one thing I am really bad about when I run my 5k races. The way I run it is really too short for me to build my speed like I really...

I did a killer workout tonight. I felt pretty rested so I decided to push it a little for my sprint day. I ran down to Valley High School so that was 3.18k. Pretty good warm up with some good hills to get the legs burning. Once down to the track at Valley I did 5x100m to get the legs switched from slow twitch to fast switch. Then is was 2×800, 2×400, and finally 2×200. I was really pushing it and the 3.18k run down to...

All you doubters and nay-sayers out there should be ashamed of yourself. Telling me to not run and pull off the course. Shame on you! Yea, I ran the 5k. I put on the old $13 brace and did a little Mr. Miyagi mind over matter on the knee. And guess what? I felt pretty good. Not only that but I ran a 24:47.00. Yea Baby! Not only did I get a PR race time but I won the Men’s 30-39 age group. That is a pretty good time for me...
