Today is cold and rainy. Well, it’s not all that cold, but it is rainy. I wasn’t as sore today even though I had a fairly difficult session yesterday trying to cope with why a 9:20 mile was kicking my butt. I am not worried, just a little inquisitive why it would be that difficult. [...]

I am going to split open my face and scrap out my sinus cavity… there is something up there that won’t go away! Chalk up another “Zero” in the Run Column for today. My running has been SOOO lean. How lean is it? It’s so lean that you couldn’t even have a piece a bacon [...]

Zoinks! Things around here have been busy. It seems that if I am not going 100 mph then I’m going to slow. So where should I start? Once a upon a time, not too long ago… First of all, I got a new phone. I went ahead and got the Katana II for me to [...]

and another day of rest and another and another… I think I am testing whether a longer rest period will make you faster. Today is day 4 of rest since the Autumnfest 8k and probably with some good reason. So, I am listening to installment #20 of Phedippidations when I should be running around 5 [...]

After the Chickamauga race, I was pretty exhausted and with good reason. During the race, I could tell that my legs were getting sore, which was one reason why I went into Marathon Survival Mode. It wasn't until today when the residual pain has subsided. It is hell to have to walk down stairs after [...]

I didn't work out today. Jen is going to Florida for the weekend, which leaves the kids with me for the weekend. Well, Tita Angie is here, so there's some help. She'll be home alone with the two this afternoon, so I decided that I would leave work early to rescue her from the wrath [...]
