Surprise Speed Workout & Busy Day – RunLog 4-16-19
Tuesdays are my primary speed work day, but the past two days have been a bit quicker than normal, so I wasn’t really planning to do a faster run today. If anything, I planned on a short and slower run. MMMMMmmmm Harold you didn’t do what you planned did you? Nope. I have been running…

Watching Boston & A Good Run – RunLog 4/15/19
Congratulations to all those who ran Boston – you done good. Your time or place doesn’t really matter, the magic is that you got to run Boston. You trained hard, showed up this morning and ran – that is what was and is important. Showing up. Several people I know ran it today (Sam, Ron,…

Not the Run I Expected – RunLog 4/14/19
WoW!!! I got to run outside in SHORT & a T-SHIRT for the first time in 2019. Yippeee Kayaaa and all that other balderdash. No, I didn’t watch anyone drive into the ditch because they were blinded by the legs and arms shining so brightly in the sunshine this morning. 😉 Yeah, it was in…

Repeat Tuesday – Back to Normal – RunLog 4/9/19
Okay, so my attempt at changing up when I do my workouts is now officially over. I realized this morning while out snow scooping the yard from yesterday’s 5-6″ inches of white shite, that there was no way I was going to do a set of longer tempo paced runs after I got done moving…

Back Inside–RunLog 4-8-19
White Shite go away, there is nothing here for you to see!!! Yeah, snow just go away. This morning the snow was just enough to make up my mind to head inside for a recovery run on the treadmill – again. Oh well, just the way it works out sometimes. I do have to admit…

Long Run in Waterville–RunLog 4/7/19
Long run for the week – done. What a gorgeous day, the first day this year that I was actually able to run outside in shorts!!! Temps were in the 50s, a little breeze and mostly sunny. This is the kind of day that I love to run outside, now to get ready for the…

New Shoes–Only the Second New Ones in 2019–RunLog 4/6/19
Yeah, can you believe it, this is only the second pair of new running shoes that I have run in during 2019. I really think that is some kind of record!!! Unsurprisingly, it is a pair of adidas Tempo 9’s that I got for Christmas 2018 and have had in the closet waiting for my…

The Winds of Change Drove Me Inside–RunLog 4/4/19
The Winds of Change have been blowing for the past few days and today, they drove me inside on the treadmill again. 32*F with a slight breeze in excess of 30 mph most of the day meant the feels like temperature was actually down in the teens. Not what I really wanted to deal with…

Snow-Treadmill-Sun–RunLog 4-3-19
Oops – I forgot to post this yesterday. Okay today was supposed to be a rest day, but since I had one on Sunday, I felt as though I really wanted to run. So I did. However, I would like to think that I was fairly smart about it. Yeah, it snowed here this morning,…

Tempo or Repeats? Either Way it Was Tough – RunLog 4/2/19
Okay today was the first day where the change of focus in my training plan really became more than just a nice theory that I have about how I need to run. As a part of changing my training plan, I moved my tempo workouts to Tuesdays, since that seems to fit better with the…

The Winds of Change–RunLog 4/1/19
Happy April Fool’s Day – I hope that you got to chuckle and laugh a few times today. No nothing in this post will be on the Fool side of the coin, but I did chuckle a few times over the course of the day. This morning’s run was brought to me by Zephyrus, the…

Week, Month, Quarter in Review–March 2019
It kind of sucks when the quarter, month and the week end on the same day. Oh sure I could do separate posts, but that would be re-hashing stuff too much and make it boring for me to write and you to read, so I get to a write one longer post and bore you…
