Today wasn't quite the training day that I had planned. Mostly because I didn't get up to train. Jesi surprised me last night with tickets to the local theater production of You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, so we were out later than usual. I hadn't slept particularly well so when the alarm went off, … Continue reading Not quite the day I had planned
Falling asleep while stretching
7 miles! I was set to do seven miles. I had my alarm set. My clothes laid out. I had my route planned. When the alarm went off, I hit snooze once and then realized I needed to get moving if I wanted to get my seven miles completed. I realized that my left Achilles … Continue reading Falling asleep while stretching
Drizzly morning and a new audio book
It was kind of drizzly this morning, it was that kind of rain that you wish would either start fully or stop. It was just enough to be annoying and to make it humid. I started out way too fast. I wanted to try and cut down my mile one time (typically my slowest) just … Continue reading Drizzly morning and a new audio book
Made the best of it
My list of intentions for this week includes getting back to my nutrition and dialing back into my training. I also need to work on incorporating an upper body routine to ensure that I am in the best shape for John. While last week wasn't what I had hoped, I am pleased that I made … Continue reading Made the best of it
Travel day home
We made it home in record time-6 hours 45 minutes. Frankly we traveled 489 miles in about the same amount of time it took me to complete the 2016 Marine Corps Marathon. Sort of a sad and disheartening thought as I type. Despite the quick travel time home, I realized as I sat in bed … Continue reading Travel day home
Rest day and a party
I had thought about making up the miles I missed. I thought of getting up moderately early and heading out to do some make up miles. I didn't have too many to make up this week, just four, so I figured it would be an easy run around the neighborhood with minimal time spent. But … Continue reading Rest day and a party
Weekend long run during the week
Tomorrow is the family party, since there's still quite a bit of prep to do I didn't want to leave my training run until then. Also, I didn't want to be wiped from training and then not enjoy the evening. Instead, I decided to put my miles in today. A week day. I was scheduled … Continue reading Weekend long run during the week
Travel Day
Today we traveled to Massachusetts for the family celebration of my sister-in-law's wedding. From our house to MA, it's roughly an eight hour drive. Sometimes more when the state of Connecticut decides it wants to be jerk-face and cause a bunch of travel issues. The drive today wasn't horrible. It wasn't our best time but … Continue reading Travel Day
Didn’t do half…or did half. It’s all about perspective I suppose
I was supposed to do six miles this morning. I was supposed to get up at 4:30 so that I would have more than enough time to do the full six miles. However a late bedtime and three snooze buttons later, I realized that I wouldn't have enough time. Rather than not run at all, … Continue reading Didn’t do half…or did half. It’s all about perspective I suppose
Only hit snooze once this morning
I successfully made it out the door before 5am this morning. I only hit snooze once this morning, despite wanting to hit it a second time. It was a good pre-dawn run, I killed my negative splits this morning. Starting mile one at 12:10 and finished my third mile at a 9:56 pace. That last … Continue reading Only hit snooze once this morning
