I ran 4 miles today at the gym. We’ve had incredible storms lately and they’ve been predicting more so I didn’t want to get caught outside in the rain. Its also 90% humidity and I didn’t want to die from heat exhaustion.
I ran 3 on the treadmill and the last one [...]
3.0 mile run on the treadmill, 10:00 pace. I had no soreness at all from the shins. I’m pretty surprised because it was a day after weight training. Very nice. Can’t tell you how pleased I am to run without pain. Maybe something’s working :)
Ofcourse, this morning everything is sore. [...]

I had an easy two miles on the treadmill yesterday. I moved my rest day to Tuesdays so Mondays are just an easy day of recovery. I had wanted to add in 40 minutes of crosstraining but I forgot my wallet at work and had to drive all the way back to get [...]
I’ve been thinking about running for charity in Chicago. I don’t know why but sometimes I get that “what’s the point” feeling about running. What the heck are you running for? At my age, I’m not going to set any records or win any big prizes. I’ll be lucky to finish. [...]
I just took a look at Blogger’s list of recently published blog. They list the last 250 blogs published. The time span on the publishing was less that 3 minutes!
I’m thinking 1) we will never run out of blogs to read and 2) we all have way too much to talk [...]
My right calf (on the inside) hurts alot this AM. Sore to walk on it. I’ve got ice on it now and I think I need some ibuprofin. I can’t believe the one extra mile (and even after splitting the long run) did this. Maybe it was the fast mile at [...]
Yesterday was rest day. Nuff said.
Today I was due for a 4-miler at the park. My son went with me and rode his bike along side. I started out very fast and a quick check of my watch said 8:00 for the first mile. Yikes! Way too fast for me. [...]

I’m exhausted from very little sleep. I need to go to bed.
I ran 2.0 miles tonight and did 45 minutes of cardio. My shin was slightly sore, but it usually is after weights day. Tomorrow is rest day :)
