The Start of My Running Story
This post was written for and first appeared on One Foot In Reality. Since I have returned to Aging Runnah, I have decided to clean-up and re-publish this series, there were a few rough spots, things left out and I thought it would be nice to share this old fart’s story of running over the…

Things Are Slowing Down A Little
I love that the weeks are finally starting to slow down!!! Unfortunately, it doesn’t mean that we are all caught up with things, it just means that things are starting to feel like they are much more manageable again. My favorite photo from last week: A photo from yet another ice storm – it seems…

Time Trial Time – RunLog 1-26-18
All I know is that pizza and beer tasted pretty good tonight. Oh yeah, I did a pretty good workout today that answered more than a couple of questions that I had. Okay, I probably could have, should have, yeah, I should’ve run outside today. It was in the teens, the roads were mostly clear…

Treadmill and Some Competition – RunLog 1-24-18
Sometimes the day after a ice storm is as bad as the ice storm itself. The roads are still not really all that safe to walk on, much less run on, so today was another one of those treadmill kind of days. If I sound like I am whining, I am not. Even though the…

Forced Inside Again – RunLog 1-23-18
I had to travel the roads this morning and it really wasn’t all that much fun, definitely a treadmill kind of day. Once I got done doing my driving around, I headed to Planet Fitness for another run on the treadmill. It was just one of those days where everything felt forced and that the…

Surprise Treadmill Workout – RunLog 1-22-18
Mary and I walked the Bean for a couple of miles this morning, when we left the house it was 22*F and by the time we got back it had dropped to 17*F and freezing rain was making its presence known on my glasses. Which meant that my plans for a run down to Pepin…

Racing, Patriots and Better Weather – Week In Review 1-21-18
The Patriots are going to the Super Bowl, I ran in a race and ran outside more than I did on the treadmill, so it was a pretty darn good week. My favorite photo of the week: A group photo after today’s race and yes, Gene get well soon. All is right with the world,…

A Nice Run From Augusta to Hallowell and Back – RunLog 1-20-18
This morning I wanted to get in an easy 4-5 miles, but really didn’t feel like running laps on Philbrick or running down the Bitch. Which meant after walking 2.5 miles down-back on snowmobile tracks that I headed into Augusta for a run. I love running on the Rail Trail, but wasn’t too impressed with…

A Year Later
I usually do not get into politics on my blog, it just brings out the worst in people – at least the ones that do not agree with my perspective. That being said, I do think it is appropriate to comment here on a few of my thoughts regarding the leadership of my Country, from…

A Day of Rest – 1-19-18
Today, I will not make 10,000 steps, I will not run a step and the elliptical will not go around once. It was truly a day of rest. Which is a good thing Resting like this is something that I have not done since at least Christmas and you know something – my body did…

5.0 Mile Tempo on the Treadmill – RunLog 1-18-18
Although the sun was out, the temps were in the 20’s and just a hint of a breeze, due to the crappy road slur, I decided to take my running to Planet Fitness and beat on the treadmill. Just a photo of the Maine woods on a beautiful winter day, after a little snow. Yeah,…
