Winter running... and a great new partner!

02/19/2013 09:49

It’s been quite a while since I’ve blogged but I thought now was as good a time as any. Marathon training, and winter, are both in full swing. Personally, I LOVE winter. I would rather run in 20 degree weather with snow (although I like a non-icy surface to run on, of course) than...

Running in the snow

12/21/2012 16:30

Well today was the day. The first day that the snows came to Northeast Ohio. It is December 21st so we can't complain too much. I love running in the cool weather but the snow... that's another story. It actually wasn't too bad today. I just made sure I was dressed...

Pictures added and my week (and more) in review

Well I didn't make it as an official blogger for the Cleveland Marathon and I see why. Those blogs the winners write are very detailed, lots of pictures and all kinds of good info to read. I guess I'll have to step up my game. :-) So my latest runs... Over the past 13...

Tough week

12/07/2012 09:01

This was a tough week for me. The weather was good and I had plenty of sleep (could always use more) and I felt good but I struggled in the 2nd half of the week's runs. Sunday was a great day to run but I had to postpone my normal Sunday run until the evening. This is not...

Follow up to my Friday time...

39:45 was the time. My guess was accurate. I did do some big hills I wasn't counting on so I might have beaten my estimate. I did break 3 of my own rules today. 1) I ran with someone - I typically don't... just a personal choice 2) I ran on a bridle...

Some days are just harder than others

Did you ever notice that you can run the same distance in the same time on one day as another but that one day you feel great, like you can run all day, and the other day every stride is a struggle? Why is that? Diet? Sleep? It's probably a combination of a lot of factors...

My past week

11/19/2012 16:51

This past week didn't go quite as well as I would have planned. I didn't get the miles in due to some other commitments. This always raises the question in my mind, how diligent are others? I know I'm fairly diligent. I get my 4 runs in during the week and then a long...

Long Run

11/15/2012 16:10

I haven't started my formal training (or maybe I have) yet but I did manage to take advantage of the great weather this past Sunday (11/11/12) and fit in a long run. I ran 16 miles in the Cleveland Metro Parks in 2:19.47. It was a great pace for me and I felt good afterwards......

Recent runs (11/8/2012)

I am extremely diligent about keeping track of my runs and all related information. I track in 3 places how far, how fast, weight and any other exercise activity done besides running. I could tell you what I weighed on this day 4 years ago or how far I ran and at what pace. ...

Training has begun! Of course we train every day all year... but if I can get this blog going... training for the Cleveland Marathon will have officially begun. :-)
