    I guess it was about 3 weeks ago that I first started noticing some knee pain after running. I figured that maybe my shoes were nearing the end of their life (I can usually only get 200 miles on a pair!) and thought I’d shop around. About 20 – 25 days ago I missed my…

    Well, like I usually tend to do, I forgot about the blog for a few weeks. Oops! On July 4, 2013, I ran the Firecracker 6 mile race in downtown Indianapolis. I have a bit of a streak going with this one since this was my 4th year of the race and the 4th time…

    Yea, yea, the blog has been pretty quiet. Well, so has my running. After that Monumental Half Marathon I managed to run a 10K in December, and I decided to let my leg heal. I had a sore spot about 1/3 up my shin, right on the inside edge of the bone. If I had…

    After that half marathon a couple weeks ago I’ve come down with what feels like Plantar Fasciatis pain.  I took a week off and ran for a week with some mild pain, including a 14 mile run.  But, I’ve come to the conclusion that my feet won’t get better unless I completely stop running.  I…

    Ok, I keep forgetting about my blog!  Sheesh.  Last Wednesday was so nice, I just had to get back to running a day earlier than the doctor said.  Problem was, it was a 8 mile run with the training group.  I figured I would get to a turn around point that would let me do…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    I tried to go out for a run on Tuesday, 10 days after the Monumental Half.  I had gone the whole 10 days wearing an Ace bandage or Zensah compression sleeve.  I had bought “The Stick” and tennis balls and a foam roller and used them all.  I had used the rowing machine and stationary…

    Today was the big day – The Indianapolis Monumental Half Marathon.  Race time temp was around 27 degrees!  I hung out in the lobby area of the parking garage until about 20 minutes before start time. I had on my Brooks Infiniti beanie, Nike convertible gloves, Nike “thermal” running shirt and vest, and Brooks running…
