Gotta Run Before We Go

Heading to Flordia today for a weeks vacation. We are both super excited to be going on our first vacation together. Jesi unfortunately had to go into the office this morning, while I had some work to do I could do it from home. I did a few domestic things and finished the last load … Continue reading Gotta Run Before We Go

Running On Vacation

Jesi and I have ventured to Florida to visit family and Mickey Mouse. I traveled in my Brooks Pure Flow but packed my Hoka's since I've really been enjoying the feel of them.  I got up this morning to a nice balmy 78 degrees with 92% humidity. But undeterred I struck out for what turned … Continue reading Running On Vacation

The Hoka's have been a true gift on long runs helping my joints and my legs remain fresh for longer.  I took a bit of a different route to get to the … Continue reading Eleven Miles And A Tumble

However, since my training plan said rest day I decided to stick with the rest day so that my 11 miles tomorrow would be smooth and as successful as the last few long runs. Even … Continue reading Rest Day and Achieving the Impossible

Back In The Saddle…Well Running Shoes

Four miles done last night...and it felt great. I ran with Regina and Becky and had a blast. Pace wise I never quite match my solo time especially since Becky likes stopping to pet the various local dogs, but the camaraderie with them always makes the run enjoyable. I had some slight twinges in my … Continue reading Back In The Saddle…Well Running Shoes

Took An Extra Day

While I took the scheduled rest day on Monday expected to return to running on Tuesday, I ended up taking an extra rest day. I found that despite taking Advil, wearing a brace and being mindful about my ankle my foot still felt not 100%. Rather than push it, I took Tuesday off from running. … Continue reading Took An Extra Day
