Day 16 / Day 17

Day 16 – Rest & Day 17 – 4 Miles  – up  at 5:15 / Breakfast and a blog – Out the door at about 6:00.  Ice.  I hate Ice.  Everything is ice. I went out with the intention of stretching out my stride.  Forget that.  All I wanted to do was stay on my… Continue reading Day 16 / Day 17

Day 15

Day 15 – 3 Miles – (I posted this and Day 13 & 14 on Monday, but some how I lost them so here it goes again.)  Up at 5:30, Breakfast and out the door at about 6:00.  10 Degrees, feels like 0.  So weather.com says.  After about 20 steps the cold was gone and… Continue reading Day 15

Day 13 & 14

Day 13 & 14 – Rest – While the rest o f you ran on Saturday, I was recovering fro Fridays run and a night of sleeping in a very cold car in Glasgow, Ky.  NOt much sleep and then a day of lectures and Seminar.  Fun, Fun, Fun. Sunday was finally a pretty good… Continue reading Day 13 & 14

Day 11

Day 11 – 3 miles – Up at 5:25, Breakfast 5:45 Out the door at 6:00.  Note the close proximity of breakfast and out the door.  Probably not the best idea.  Undigested oatmeal pretty much feels like lead in the belly.  To compound matter, after reading everyone else’s entries about 7, 8 and 9 minute… Continue reading Day 11

Day 10

Day 10 – 4 Miles – Up at 4:30, Breakfast and a blog.  Forgot to publish Sundays blog.  Out the door at 5:45.  18 degrees but no wind.  Felt pretty good.  Good start and good finish, but lost pace somewhere in the middle.  If had won an I-pod at the stinkin’ party, maybe I could… Continue reading Day 10

Day 8

Day 8 – 3 Miles – After playing soccer until 11:30 last night and about 5 hrs of sleep, I was not to enthused about running this morning. Up at 5:15, breakfast, but not out the door 6:18. (Stared at wall for about 1/2 hour tring to get motivated. Still, run went pretty well (10:04… Continue reading Day 8

Team Run #1

Day 6 – 5 miles – Pretty good run.  I think breakfast helped (Thanks again Bobby)  I can’t quite say I enjoyed the run, but I didn’t exactly hate it.  That is real progress.  We probably ran a bit faster than we should have, but it felt pretty good.  Company party tonight, I can go… Continue reading Team Run #1

1st Week in Review

Well, my intention was to write an entry for each day, but with setting up this and two other Weblogs this week, I didn’t quite get to it. So I thought that while I am sitting here, eating my 1/2 cup of oatmeal and 8 oz. fruit stuff two hours before our first official team… Continue reading 1st Week in Review
