Back on the Run.

Friday, July 20th, 2007

Two miles Monday, two miles Tuesday, two miles Thursday. I have started back. Each day I ran two out and walked further and then back to keep myself out an hour. I have been running after work, rather than before work because of my current sleep schedule. I hope to get back to morning runs because they make my day much more productive. I believe I just have time to get into 4:00 shape for the Dallas White Rock Marathon on December 9th. We shall see.

Two in 18:37 with Rain

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

I got in two miles this morning before the monsoon hit. It is hard to believe we are in Texas with all of this rain. When I think of Texas, I think of dry plains, not wet hills. There was still water on the path (concrete) but I was able to get around it this morning. I ran out and back and still ache in my lower legs from the Tuesday run. I am going to try for a longer run this weekend, taking a different path and just running for time.

3 miles this morning

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

I ran 3 miles on the treadmill this morning. I believe I am starting to get over the hump I created when I stopped over Christmas. Still 220, 10 pounds heavier than I was for the last 1/2 marathon, but I signed up for my next one March 10th. I did a hard 1/2 hour yesterday on the eliptical and was all set for another but I just felt like running this morning. Looking forward to another trip to Crowder’s this weekend. I am going to make it to the top this time without stopping. Slowly, but without stopping.

Oh, the reason I gave myself for skipping anything over the weekend or Monday or Tuesday was the pain in my calves. I had trouble walking when I got up on Sunday after the hour on the eliptical Saturday. Different program than the one I did yesterday. I am going to hold of on doing that one again for a while ;-) .
