Back to it – RunLog February 2, 2022
Okay, I am back to running a bit more comfortably and out of my deep dive into Notion, so I will get back to posting about the daily runs again. What’s been going on? Last week, I tweaked my right hamstring and gave it a day off, but when I ran again, it still wasn’t…

Sub-Zero For Sure – January 21, 2022
Brrrr, that is what I say first about this run. When I left the house, our thermometer read -2 degrees Fahrenheit (ca. -17 °C) and, yes, there was a slight breeze out of the North. Let’s just say it was definitely noticeable on each lap coming back down Philbrick. The sun, while bright, didn’t bring…

An Obituary and Getting a Run Done – January 20, 2022
This morning I was looking through the obituaries and noticed that someone who lived down the road had died from COVID-19. We thought something bad was happening with the lack of activity and then suddenly a lot of strange vehicles in their yard last week and this week. However, we didn’t know them well enough…

It's Still Chilly – January 16, 2022
Congrats to all those who ran the Central Maine Striders January Thaw over in Belgrade this morning. I had intended to be there, but things didn’t work out the way I planned, so it wasn’t meant to be. The body wasn’t up to a race and barely up for an easy jog. Even so, despite…

PF-Summerhave O/B 10K – January 14, 2022
14 January 2022 This morning I had several errands to do in Augusta, so I decided to run from Planet Fitness and also see how the Hoka Clifton 8s did in better conditions. The roads were clear, but there was a bit of a breeze and brought the temp down a bit. Tonight’s sunset By…

Covering the Road with Partly Cloudy — January 13, 2022
I didn’t realize that it was supposed to snow all morning, not that it amounted to all that much. What came down was just enough to coat the roads and create the wonderful salt, sand, and snow thing I call winter slurry, others call it slush. Either way, it was prevalent in certain parts of…

Got it Done – January 12, 2022
Well there, I got out the door this morning and ran outside. Yes, it was still rather chilly, and I thought seriously about getting on the elliptical for another go. However, the more I thought about it, the less enticing the elliptical sounded and I knew that I could survive the Winter weather outside for…

Yeah, I Wimped Out 😛 – January 11, 2022
This morning when I hopped out of bed (yeah, in my dreams), more like I grunted and groaned as I crawled out of bed and wandered towards the first stop of the day, I noticed that the wonderful thermometer told me it was -8*F. Since I had noticed that our Winter flag about halfway down…

Augusta Was Better for Running – January 10, 2022
I really believe that for the next couple of months that I am going to throw away the idea of having a training plan and go more with the idea of running when you can and focus on the miles that the body and weather allow. Yes, it is January in Maine, this year it…

Another No-Run Day – January 9, 2022
This is one of those days when if I really had wanted to run, I could’ve. The roads a couple of hours after the storm stopped I had a litany of excuses not to head out the door. You know, things like freezing rain, crappy road conditions, ice, or sore muscles from running in crappy…

Pretty Chilly and the Roads were Tough – January 8, 2022
It was a tad chilly when I headed out the door, and no, the roads weren’t any better than they were for Bennie’s walks earlier. The breeze was pretty steady out of the Northeast and brought the feels like temps down into the single-digits. I could tell that I had snow blowed yesterday, I was…

Snowblowing and Working on the Blog
I knew that today was going to be a snowblower kind of day. Today was a scheduled rest/cross-training day, so I wasn’t all worried about getting a run in. Well, actually I was because I have missed too many other days this week already due to the weather and needed a few extra miles. Although,…
