Training Temporarily Suspended
I went to the Walk-In Clinic at OrthoIndy today for my foot pain. I was barely able to run 4 minutes Thursday night and I had some pain just walking around. The doc did an X-Ray and didn’t really see anything. That’s good and bad, I guess. Good because it means I don’t have a…

Foot pain – Oh no!
I woke up this morning to terrible pain on the arch of my left foot. Feeling around, it seems like the pain originates kinda between the ankle and the top of the arch. It was hurting to walk. I put my cold pack on it for 15 minutes and that helped a little bit. I…

Nice Feeling Six Mile Run
Tonight’s run was a six mile-r, well, more like 5.95, but who’s counting right? Anyways, the important part is that my legs felt pretty good! It’s very strange how the pain comes and goes. I sure hope it continues to stay away. It felt pretty pleasant, around the mid 80’s and the humidity wasn’t too…

Some dry heaving while running
Holy cow, it was HUMID this morning. Around 85%. I did some coughing during the first 10 minutes of my seven mile run and it felt more like dry heaving than coughing. Felt like I could barely move for the whole time, and my mile splits proved it! My big body just doesn’t like running…

Frustration Venting Run
Been feeling a little frustrated with life today, so tonight’s short 3.18 mile run was supposed to help me blow off a little steam. It did. But just a tiny bit. It was pretty warm, 90 temp / 99 heat index, so most of the steam was stuck inside. I ran a little quicker than…

Hot and Sweaty Running
Did 5.08 miles tonight in the heat. It was about 85 with a 93 heat index when I headed out, and a storm had barely passed. I could still see the lightning off to the east. 75% humidity, so, yea, it didn’t feel too nice. But I was smart this week and took a water…

Run and Row
Ran 2.5 miles on the treadmill and then rowed for 2500m on the Concept2 rowing machine at the gym. This was just my second time using the rower, with the first time being on Sunday. My shirt was pretty well soaked at the end, so I guess I was doing some good. I actually think…

Cool 10 Mile Run
Nice and cool 10 mile run this morning. Temps were in the mid 60’s. My Nathan Race Vest hydration pack thingie seems to be working out quite well. Every mile or so I’ll walk about 10 yards and take a drink. It’s helping me stay hydrated the entire time and not getting worn out. There…

Painful Three Miles
I ran just 3.19 miles tonight, and my shins were KILLING me. How could I go from being so comfortable running 9 miles on Saturday to being in such pain tonight? Doesn’t make sense to me. It was only in the mid 80’s, but I had worked 11 hours today. Maybe that had something to…

115 Heat Index Attempt
Tonight, I attempted a 5 mile run in a 115 heat index. You will note that I said attempt because I only made it about 4.5 miles before I started feeling a little clammy and decided to call it quits. I still have some soreness in my legs from the squads on Sunday, so I…
