Long Runs

After two long races on consecutive weekends, I was able to get out for a long run Thursday. Mentally, I prepared to do a long race this fall.[more …]

I have not run much in the past two weeks. Since pulling up after six miles on July 13, I’ve been doing a lot of walking, stretching, and strength training, trying to resolve the issue that is pulling at my right groin muscle.[more …]

Working with my personal trainer,  physical therapist daughter, I’m not going to run for another week. I’ll keep walking, stretching, and strength training daily.[more …]

I have not tried to run more than 100 paces at a time since last Thursday’s long walk.[more …]

At 6:30 am, it was cold for June 24 with a dew point of 48 and temps in the low 50s.[more …]

I got out early this morning. What a beautiful day to run. For the middle of June, the dew point was in the low 50s with clear skies and low winds. These are days I dream of running.[more …]

I got out early this morning. I wanted to avoid the heat and the possibility of rain.

My cleaning lady comes at 7:30  am on long run days. So, that is another motivator to get up early and out on the roads.[more …]
