I was able to push out to 5 miles this morning. Slow and steady miles, but miles. My mind was wandering a lot this morning. Issues at work were running through my head. Sometimes I think the running I do is more for psychological reasons than physical reasons. Days like today the psychological rules. Even…

I felt really good this morning. The conditions weren’t great this morning, rainy and misty. In spite of that I was able to run 4 miles this morning and then walked 3/4 of a mile back home. We’ve had a ton of rain lately and it’s wet everywhere. The nice thing is it’s in the…

Finally, back at it. I started off slow this morning. Slow pace and low miles. My back responded well to the running this morning. I’m feeling pretty confident that i’ve healed up pretty well. Last nights rain left a lot of water on the ground today. We haven’t had that hard of a rain in…

Tough to figure out what to wear this morning. It was 55 degrees when I got up but the wind was whirling at around 15 MPH. So I tried shorts but once I got outside I decided that wasn’t going to be enough. I ended up deciding on long running pants, not sweats, and a…

A new weekend begins with a 2 mile run and a 1.35 mile walk. It was cool this morning. Today is supposed to hit 70 and boy i’m looking forward to that. I’m hoping to get back to daily runs, now that the nasty weather appears to have moved on. I think Spring is now…

What a Week Well this week has been interesting to say the least. We had quite a weather front come in early this week. This front brought in what I like to refer to as 2nd Winter. About 8 inches of the white stuff referred to as snow dumped on us and then the temperatures…
