I struck out on my first long run in awhile this morning. I waited a little later than usual since it was super foggy this morning. I wanted to wait until it was light out before striking out, I didn't want to contend with darkness AND fog. Never a good combination for runners. It wasn't … Continue reading First long run in awhile
Friday blues
Friday should be a happy day. End of the work week but I am frustrated and worried about the missed miles this week. I am trying not to beat myself up too horribly but am struggling as the knee issue has dragged on, seemed better and then reared its head again. My knee was better … Continue reading Friday blues
No Thursday Run
I woke up this morning with a swollen knee. On a scale of one to ten the pain was about a three. Not horrible. Totally manageable. But I had some visible puffiness around my knee cap. I decided that it be best to forego my usual Thursday group run. I feel as if I have … Continue reading No Thursday Run
Non-naked knee
No naked knee this morning-but there was running. I was scheduled for five miles but did three. Just to get myself back in the swing of things. The brace helped quite a bit and the Mumford & Sons kept me moving along. It was my fastest three mile run but I still managed to do … Continue reading Non-naked knee
Back to work
Another day of sleep being greater than running. When my alarm went off I just felt incredibly tired. Combined with my knee feeling a bit rough I decided to punk out this morning. The original plan for the day, and the promise I made with myself is that I would sleep in this morning and then … Continue reading Back to work
Nine and a half hour travel day
Today was the travel day that wouldn't end. We left at 4 am, making it yet another short night. We had anticipated some degree of morning commuter traffic but did not expect to spend nine and a half hours in the car WITHOUT any side trips or adventures. The culprit wasn't Connecticut as expected, but … Continue reading Nine and a half hour travel day
Sleep > Miles
It was another moderately late night. By the time I crawled into bed I had been awake for almost 20 hours straight (minus maybe 30 minutes of dozing in the car yesterday). I ended up going to bed without Jesi since my intention was to get up and run. However when the alarm went off … Continue reading Sleep > Miles
Travel Day and Fan Girling
Three a.m. came incredibly early. Not that three a.m. isn't incredibly early to begin with. After a late bedtime the alarm went off just a few short hours after our heads hit the pillow. Unlike previous trips, we took a little side trip to Captain Scott's Lobster Dock. We are both huge fans of Casey … Continue reading Travel Day and Fan Girling
Late Thursday night = no Friday run
After my second run last night I had choir practice. After catching up with friends after practice and by the time we had dinner-it was nearly 10:30 pm so when the alarm went off at 4:30 my body protested. My inability to get up and get moving was not only from lack of sleep but … Continue reading Late Thursday night = no Friday run
Two-a-days
Today was a two-a-day kind of work out. My goal is to get a mid week longer mile run complete. Ideally I would like to get it done in one shot, but realistically I know that anything more than five miles during a work day is going to be challenging. Knowing that I run in … Continue reading Two-a-days
