From my last workout post, I left saying that I was going to Fork of the River to do some trail running. And that’s exactly what I did. I brought along the fledgling map of the area that I have and a Sharpie and went to town. I started on the path that terminates at [...]

It has been a busy week of running for me. I was able to run 4 out of the 5 lunch day runs, which usually is just 3, so that was pretty nice. Monday I only had one rest day from my 20 miler and took Monday as an easy run day. However, my 9:07 [...]

I have been running celibate for 2 weeks now, until today's indulgence into a 5 mile scamper with Beer Boy. It is amazing how not running for two weeks and then going out at a modest 9:48 pace for the first mile can really affect you. My shoulders were tight and my knees ached, but [...]

Well, not quite, but I am a little run down. With the race this past Sunday, giving blood on monday, and being tired. I think I am a little worn down. I have had a small case of the sniffles here and there, but nothing worth writing about. My side is better. I talked with [...]
