    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…

    Week one of my Running Wizard training program is done! I ran 20.4 miles this week. That’s more than I ran in January and February combined. I’ll get close to 80 miles this month. Monday was an “easy fartlek” run for 28 minutes that I didn’t do easy enough. I remember feeling pretty beat up…

    Weighed in on Friday and found I had lost another 2.2 pounds. So I’m down a total of 28.6 pounds now! All my pants are MUCH looser and fabric bunches up when I tighten my belt. I suppose it’s getting to be about time to buy some smaller pants. I do sort of want to…

    My weigh in on Friday had me losing 2.6 pounds, which takes me under the 10% initial goal that Weight Watchers set for me. So it took me 3 months 1 week to lose 10% of my initial body weight. I guess I’m pretty happy about that. I had all of my weekly points left…

    My weekly weight in was on Friday and I posted my first weekly gain after three months of doing Weight Watchers. It was 1.2 pounds, which takes my total weight loss up to 23.8 pounds. I’m only slightly discouraged by it. I figured my 4.2 pound loss the week before had me at the bottom…

    Today was a good day for a run. Went out for my 4 mile neighborhood loop and the temp was in the mid 60’s and the strong breeze felt pretty nice. That’s the longest I’ve run in a few months and it felt harder than I expected. But it felt good. Then I went and…

    I’m exceptionally bad about forgetting to update this little blog.  But, I’ve now completed two runs with the Indy Runners group.  They have a semi-informal fall race prep program that consists of weekly recommended miles to run on Saturday mornings with the group.  We’ve just done 6 miles each time so far, and there has…

    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…

    Another week of the training program down.  Still having numbness in my feet and some slight shin pain.  I found some exercises in a forum post to help me stretch / strengthen my lower leg muscles.  I’ve done those a couple times, and done some icing of the tender areas, and massage with a tennis ball.  Today’s…
