800 Miles

Yesterday was speed work! I love that workout. It really is a good indicator of your running strength. Since I started doing speed work 8 weeks ago I can see a huge difference in all my other runs. This was also the run I hit the 800 mile mark for the year.

Today I ran to my moms work at TOSH medical center and picked up a check and than I ran to my grandpas house to say hello. My pacer loves going to Grandpa H and looking at his flowers and fruit bushes.

Saturday

Yesterday I got up and went running before work. It was a great route, one of my favorites! I ran around Murray park and that is always fun. It is a really pretty park and a nice paved route.

Early Bird Gets.......The Run Done Early

Well Last Friday I did my long run and I thought I started early enough. I did NOT! It got really hot and when I got home I told my wife and pacer that I would do it at 4 in the morning next week if my pacer wakes up. Throughout the week I have sevretly hoped that my words would not come back to haunt me......they did. At 4 AM this morning my pacer woke up not for his binky or to get a snack, but to run!!! Holy cow he was wide awake and ready to go. He was swingin' his arms like crazy and just wide awake. So after my moment of grumpiness and wanting to go to sleep I headed out in the dark with my head lamp and butt light. For being mid June It is sooooo stinkin hot. Even at this  of dayI felt like I was in a hair dryer. Luckily many folks had sprinklers on so it was cooler. My pacer stayed awake for a long time. We ran a new route that my wife showed me and it was wonderful! There was a massive hill that I could hardly even walk up. I actually felt great and was not sore at all. I was home and showered before 7 this morning.

Trying to stay caught up

From my last post I left out a lot information and stories, so I will work on throwing those in.

Two weeks ago I was doing my 15 mile long run and it was national donut day, So early in the morning I at two donuts and nothing else before my long run. 10 miles into my run I completely ran out of gas and stopped at a Burger King and ate the best meal of my life topped with a ice cold coke. The next 5 miles of running were heaven.

Thursday

Tuesday
I did a route I call the tour de grandpas. I just run a route that passes both of my grandparents house. Today I had to stop at Grandpa H. for a bathroom break. It took longer than expected because he started talking to me about his rose bushes. It was a nice breather.
