Saturday’s 9 miler
On Saturday, and, yes, I know I’m bad about updating, I got myself out the door and managed to run 9 miles. It was about 40 degrees when I walked out the door, but being in shorts and a “thermal” running shirt kept me pretty comfortable for the run. I actually felt a little warm…

Still Chugging Along
I’m still chugging along, trying to get myself up to be able to run the Monumental Half Marathon on November 6. This past Saturday I managed to run 7 miles. It was raining in the morning so I waited until 12:30 or so to start the run, after the rain had stopped. It was overcast…

5 miles at 90 degrees
Just got in from a 5.3 mile run in 90 degree heat. If that didn’t help me forget the problems of the day! My legs were feeling pretty good, and the Superfeet seem to be giving me support right where it feels the best. They still feel a little funny, but I think it’s a…

3.5 mile Short loop with new Superfeet!
Tonight was another short loop.. grinding them out.. I did it about 13 seconds slower than last night, and I’ll blame the steady 11MPH wind from the west on that. I got some Superfeet Green insoles in from Zappos today. Wanted to try them to help give my arches some support since I feel like…

Did my short loop tonight
I did the “short loop” around my neighborhood tonight – 3.5 miles, at about 8:45/mile pace. I’m not too disappointed with that pace really, and my legs and feet felt pretty good. Just taking it easy for the next week or so. Planning on doing 5 miles on Saturday and then 6 miles the following…

Easing Back in to It
Went for a short 2 mile run tonight, and just 1 mile last night. Trying to ease myself back in to things after all the time off while on vacation / remodeling my house. And trying to avoid reinjuring my foot so that I can at least do the half marathon on November 6th. My…

First Exercise in a week
With my lame foot and my work on tiling my house, I haven’t run or even exercised in a week. So I got out this morning, before my body knew what was going on, and ran 3.5 miles. It was nice and cool, around 50 I guess, which really helped me out. My legs are…

Monumental Marathon Plans Probably Ruined, Foot on the Mend
Well, I was able to go for a second four mile run for the week. First was on Monday but I didn’t post about it. The foot pain is subsiding, enough that I canceled my follow up doctor’s appointment in two days. But it’s still there. I really doubt I’d be able to do my…

Short run to test my foot
I did a pretty slow 3.5 mile run tonight to test out of my foot. I could still feel some tightness in my arch, but not nearly as bad as a week ago. I’ll probably try to slightly increase the distance tomorrow and Sunday to see what happens. I feel like I’m on the right…

Rowing and Spinning
On Sunday I did 30 minutes on the Concept2 and managed to make it 5683m. I think that averaged out to about 2:38 per 500m. Got winded on it, so I guess I was doing some good. Tonight I did the spinning class. That’s pretty fun. Got a decent sweat going and my legs definitely…
