Doing More Running
Ok, why can’t I remember to post more? Who knows. Since I last posted I’ve completed a “12” mile run and a “9” mile run. The courses were a bit short and we ended up with 11.33 and 8.60, but, oh well. I’m glad I was able to finish them and without excruciating pain! I’ve…

Chugged through 10 miles this week
Two Wednesday’s ago I did 9 miles. It hurt. A lot. I actually cut the course short and walked some because of the pain in my upper right leg. Don’t know what it was about. But I’ve tracked down some hip exercises and have been doing them since. So this past week had me doing…

Officially Injured, Again, but I know why!
So Wednesday night we did six miles with the training program. By the end of it, both of my shins were basically numb. I averaged 9:12/mile. That’s been my pace in the past, but I’ve been moving a little quicker recently and I was able to feel myself slowing down as I went. So I…

Shins are hurting again
So, I should be finishing up a five mile run, but instead I’m writing this post. On Monday night, we did a small fartlek workout. About a mile to warmup, then four repeats of 2 minutes slow / 1 minute fast, then a mile cooldown. I woke up Tuesday to painful shins. Not as bad…

I’ve done those a couple times, and done some icing of the tender areas, and massage with a tennis ball. Today’s…

Still some numbness when running
On Saturday I ran the 5k in about 26:27.. I say about because the online results just showed my gun time for some reason, so my time is what Runkeeper on my iPhone showed. I did the miles in 8:26, 8:27, and 8:51. The last mile was so much slower because of the numbness in…

Brooks Ravenna 2 and Nightlife hat
Got my new shoes from RunningWarehouse in today. Brooks Ravenna 2 in size 12.5. I mention the size because I’ve been wearing a 12 and having some numbness issues so I went up the half size. The shoes feel great in the house. Doing a 5k tomorrow so I’ll know real fast how my feet…

Cold and Slippery
So the past week and a half or so have been pretty slippery! Indianapolis got a nice little ice storm that made last week a pretty light running week. Only made two treadmill workouts and a strength training class as part of the YMCA training program. My foot went numb on the treadmill again! Ugh…

Second Week of YMCA Training Done
I’ve finished up the second week of the YMCA Mini Marathon training program. All I have to say is UGH! Monday’s run was a quick two miles. Not bad. Wednesday was use being timed and put in to pace groups. I was, somehow, one of the first dozen or so to finish. Since I’ve run…
