Did my 2 miles last night. And uh oh. Pain in the right shin/calf area again. Right on the first step and it was stronger than I’ve felt in a while. It slowly subsided but I’m worried. Its possible its from the weight training starting up again. I keep getting odd twinges of pain right [...]

Is this getting monotonous? Didn’t I just do 2.0 miles? I added the 1% incline last night, which I had used when I first started running in December to make it similar to running outside. Not that its very close now, but its better. HR stayed below 152, pace 10:00 easy run. I call it [...]

Today was my rest day but I did my upper body weights. I figured nothing up there was doing much yesterday anyway and that dozen fig newton’s I ate today were not doing me any good. I’ve started on two sets for the upper body, and I will probably move to two sets for the [...]

I went to change the template and it saved only a small piece of it. Then when I go to publish, there’s nothing there. I backed it up yesterday but lost all the links I put in today. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

OK, I totally panicked about missing a day and really messed up the schedule but I think it will work out. I thought yesterday was supposed to be a rest day but it turned out I needed a 2.0 mile easy run. So, I did my 2 miles (10:00 pace), then since I had more [...]

I didn’t get to the gym because of some issues that came up. Didn’t get my lifting done. Waste. I could call it a rest day but then tomorrow its unlikely I will have time for the gym. Didn’t get my crosstraining, didn’t get my weight training, didn’t do anything. What a damn waste of [...]

I spent the morning with my son at a local park attending a class on turtles. A woman from the DNR was there to show us turtles and talk about turtle habitats. The funny thing was she had all these turtles with here that she had “collected” the day before. She just went through that [...]

Thursday I did my 2.0 miles, 10:00 pace. I was dragging too. I’m so tired from low sleep this week. Today was rest day. I think I need a sleep day too. Tomorrow I need to do 5 miles but I need to go somewhere in the morning. I’m not sure when I will get [...]

This is the second time we’ve had this, but this time it wrecked my workout. I was all warmed up and stretched and ready to get moving and then I heard it on my radio: Tornado Warning. The gym folks herded us near the lobby and then moved us into the women’s locker room as [...]

Yesterday I did my 2.0 miles at 11:00 pace. I think it was technically a recovery jog so I wanted a pace slower than my usually training speed of 10:00. Speaking of which, I wonder if I shouldn’t consider increasing this pace just a little. One of the calculators I’ve looked at says my long [...]
