Rest day...

Well, I decided I needed a rest day after walking up 3 flights of stairs today and my legs felt it. A 5 day streak might have been pushing it abit, so I figured I would listen to my body. I am planning 3 tomorrow before training with the PD again. Then Rich and I are running 6 miles on Friday....

T-MINUS 2 DAYS!!!!!!!! I am off for 11 straight days as of today. I have training tomorrow at PD, but that is fun, so I don't think of it as work.

Well happy running for everyone. I hope the rain missing everyone for their run!!!

3 day streak....

And T-Minus 3 days!!!!! Got up this morning and did 4 more miles with Rich. Good run. This makes a good 3 day streak going for me. We changed our 6 miler to Friday morning instead of Thursday. So I might do 2 tomorrow. Not sure yet though.

Have a good day running....

T-minus 4 days!!!

Yes you are getting a Disney character every night until I leave!!!!! Anyway, got in a 3 miler after my son's game tonight. I just stayed in my neighborhood. It is 2.2 miles if you run the the end of each street. I did that plus alittle more to get an even 3. I plan on meeting Rich at 6:15am in the morning for 4 more miles. Wednesday will be a rest day or maybe 2 miles. We have 6 miles planned for Thursday. Going to be a slow week due to vacation coming up, but I plan on passing the time running.

My wife walked a total of 4 miles today. I think she got in 2 miles yesterday and 1 to 1.5 on Sunday with some strength training.

My son's team won their 1st game of the tourney tonight. He played well and ended up pitching the last inning.

My daughter's team got the bye in their league tourney and are automatically in the championship game.

Well, that is all for now. 6:15 will come early in the morning....Be safe pounding the pavement tomorrow!!!!

Good Run This Morning

Finally got off my lazy butt and ran this morning. I was up at 6:30am and met Rich at 7am for an easy 4 miler. It was a great morning for a run and it beautiful. I felt great and the 4 miles went by easy. Not bad for being lazy for a week and not running. I would really like to get June and July under my belt with 60-70 miles per month. This should start me out in a way better position to start marathon training in August. I am still looking at Memphis or Huntsville in December for my 1st one.

Well, the countdown is on. We leave for Walt Disney World at 8pm on Friday night. I CAN'T WAIT!!! I am worse than my 2 kids when it comes to going ot WDW. I love that place and could go everyday!!!!!

Rich wants to get in few 3 to 4 miles this week to get back into running after missing 2 weeks from being sick. I am thinking about changing my schedule up some to still get my 16-20 miles, but run over 5 days or so. Here is what I am thinking.....

Monday - 3 or 4 miles solo
Tuesday - 4 miles with Rich
Wednesday - rest or maybe 2 miles solo
Thursday - 4 miles with Rich
Friday - 4 miles (if no run on Wed, maybe 6 miles)
Saturday - Rest (will have drove all night to WDW Friday night)
Sunday - 3 or 4 miles (if I can keep my eyes open from 24-30 hrs awake straight)

This should work well. I don't think the running back to back will bother me much. My I.T. Band has not hurt in weeks and I don't plan on going over 4 miles.

I want to get in atleast 12 miles in Florida on vacation. I would really like to get 18-20 miles. I figured I will be pretty tired though after walking around WDW all day, every day!!!!

Well, I have to finish getting ready for church. Happy Running to all!!!!!!!

Side note...2008 I ran 213 miles total from April to December. That was with 6 weeks off for my left knee. So far this year, I have ran 206 miles. This is with 4 weeks off for my I.T. band. Still along way from 1,000 miles for the year.

I am such a lazy butt!!!

I am sooooo lazy!!!! My usual running partner Rich has been sick and as not been about to run with me for about a week. So, I have laid around and not ran and ate everything in site. I soooo suck!!! I hope to get a run in Friday morning and then another one Saturday morning. Hopefully 10-12 miles for this week. If I am struggling so bad at home alone, how in the heck am I going to run in Florida on vacation? Oh well, guess I just need to get motivated again. I need to hit the scales at my mom's house to see I have gained weight. That should do it!!!

Till next time...
