Last Training run?

I think it is…
Today: 3 miles in 69 degree F (93 percent humidity).
I didn’t listen to anything on the iPod today…so, I got to hear the birds excited about the warm weather. It looks like Saturday’s weather is going to be in the high 70s (as opposed to the recent 90s the past two days). [...]

What not to wear on a warm, muggy morning run

Conditions: 68 degrees F; 90% humidity; no wind. (It’s a muggy, still morning)

Listened to Train’s latest album and ran the usual 3-mile route (8th to Wilson).

Lori warned me that I would be too hot to run in a long-sleeve shirt; I said I’d be fine. See, all of my other short-sleeved numbers have gone by [...]

Here’s a post from OPML editor

Here I am

Just checking back with my favorite blog.

Last Long Run…

It was a cool 58 degree F when I began running around 6 a.m. and by the end of the 8-mile run, the temp got up to 62 (with lots of humity in the air). This was my first run on the Shanklin trail this season.
In years past, the path was a part of all [...]

Short run and the cool before summer

It's about 46 degrees f with a little wind and I ran the usual 3 mile route.
Listened to Train and traffic wasn't really that bad this morning.
Apparently, we're supposed to be hitting a warming trend in Indiana: 76 today, 80 tomorrow and possible mid-80s next week.
It was a nice cool run this morning.
My calf felt [...]

A little scare on Sunday’s run

This was my step-down run to 12 miles. But around mile 9, my calf started to tighten (just like the injury from last season that stopped my Spring training). I was able to run-walk the remaining 3 miles and it's still a bit sore. Tomorrow I'm suppose to run and I'll probably take it for [...]

Storm’s comin’…again.

Today ran the usual 3-mile route (listened to the rest of the Lost podcast for the episode that aired last night … haven't seen it. Instead, we watched the hippies win The Amazing Race).
Tomorrow is Evan's sleep-over, friend birthday party and then Saturday is the 12 miler (it's all good from here on out).
Lastly, today– [...]

And now for a short run

Route: 3 miles (8th to Wilson)
Weather: a cool 48 degrees f
Listened to: Lost podcast for tonight's show
It's nice to work some of the knots out of my legs…after the long run Sunday, I've been a bit sore and there's nothing like a 3-miler to even the muscles out a bit.

And now we taper (great words to hear)

Route: 20 miles…here's the map .
Listened to: Wait, wait…don't tell me, This American Life "The Allure of Crime", and the big mistake: Les Miserables.
Afterward: Usual soreness, but not bad.
Weather: Okay, really. Rain was in the forecast, but it never did rain. Temp: 43 degrees f and a bit misty.
Okay, I remember making jokes about men [...]
