I revisited the Thursday run tonight. I wasn't 100% sure how it would go or really how I would react if things get acrimonious. However I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Marilyn would be there. This would be Marilyn's first Thursday run with the group. Also, our occasional running partner Annalette would also be … Continue reading Mixing it up
The fastest ever, if only in my head
These mid-week longer distances runs are becoming a bit of a challenge. I can't get them done before work, unless I choose to get up at 3:00 am. And getting them done after work presents the issues of being tired and being out longer than expected. The Wednesday run is always the challenge of balancing … Continue reading The fastest ever, if only in my head
It hurts…
Oh god, everything hurts today. Yesterday I had some slight discomfort in my glutes but today I have pain in my glutes and my quads. They always say that two days out is usually the worst and I would agree. Add on top of that I got up and ran this morning. I didn't want … Continue reading It hurts…
Sluggish
I felt so incredibly sluggish today. I had no desire to do much but slowly walk about the office. I did put in a few laps at lunch but other than that I was fairly sedentary. It was known around the office that I was going to be doing the 10-miler yesterday, I got a … Continue reading Sluggish
Race Day-Annapolis 10 Miler
The day dawned early-3:45 am. It was still incredibly dark outside. Prior to following asleep last night Jesi decided that she wanted to come to the race. In our 7 years together, with the exception of two races (that occurred while she was still living in MA) she has not missed a race. She, like … Continue reading Race Day-Annapolis 10 Miler
Five miles and an expo
Technically, it was five and a half miles though the half mile was a warm up with some slight cross training (for lack of a better phrase). Mom mentioned wanting to walk together so I met her at her house before my run. Before we left for our walk I carried some concrete stepping stones … Continue reading Five miles and an expo
Another spontaneous race
I made another slightly spontaneous decision to run a race this weekend. Yesterday while running Regina had mentioned that a few of the people that would be running in the Annapolis 10 Miler pushing John had bailed. She didn't specify who or what reason, other than to say that she would be pushing John by … Continue reading Another spontaneous race
Finally able to run, but a little bummed
I was finally able to run. Did four miles. It felt great. I had no pain in my back, my legs felt ready to go. I was so ready for this run. I was excited to run with Becky and Regina since it had been a couple weeks. But the vibe of the run just … Continue reading Finally able to run, but a little bummed
No running just some walking
My back is feeling better today. There is only a slight twinge, but thankfully I could put on shoes without issue or swearing. I was going to run this morning when my alarm went off but I decided against it because ironically my back felt better. Since it felt better I didn't want to rush … Continue reading No running just some walking
No miles today
Tuesday, typically a day of three miles. But today it was a day of no miles, not even walking at lunch time miles. The pain in my back is better! I'm relieved about that but it's not better enough. And by better enough I mean I still grunt/groan/quietly swear when I have to put on … Continue reading No miles today
