My first run in the New Balance 1080 v10 was this morning. So how did it go? Good is what I will say, just good. I am still recovering from the after-affects of the COVID-19 vaccination from Thursday and not back to 100% yet, but feeling a lot better than I did yesterday. So I was not 100% ready to run, but I couldn’t wait … Continue reading First Run New Balance 1080 v10 – RunLog 3/13/21

More progress with the right leg woes. No, it is not 100% – more like 60%, but I will take runnable over whatever was going on last week.

Hey, I actually ran today and did it for the first time in my New Balance Summit Unknowns that I had been saving for when I can run someplace other than from the front door – you know trails. It turns out it was also a good choice today since the dirt road down-back has been “fixed” and the rocks are pretty deadly for road … Continue reading Back To Running Again – RunLog August 11, 2020

We ordered Mexican and the SDs were kind enough to go pick it up. Not sure if it was the food or the end of whatever bug I have been near the end of for the past … Continue reading The Sun Came Out & Kicked My Butt – RunLog May 29, 2020
