A Runner Tries to Overcome Laziness

I’ve been tapering for the past week now and will continue until race day, Saturday, November 5th. So, what exactly is tapering? From my understanding, it’s when a runner winds down his/her training for a particular upcoming race, usually, a marathon. Tapering is usually done two to three weeks prior to the race. In that…

A Neighborhood Short Run in my Nike Frees

I ran 3.34 miles this evening in my Nike frees.  Since I’m going to run the RnR Savannah marathon in Nike frees I figure I better crank out more miles on them between now and marathon day.  So, the last two days I’ve run in them. Today was a little warmer than I would of…

I Ran in a Line Today

Today is the first time I have run since last Thursday when I did the 24 miles.  I only ran 2.09 miles today.  I’ve been sick again.  What’s with me and getting sick?  Any way, this past Monday I felt like I was dying.  On Tuesday, I felt so much better that I decided to…

I’m sick.  No, I didn’t say, I’m sickening, although, to some I am very sickening but that’s a different story for another time.  What I’m saying is that I’m literally sick.  I wanted to run but my sickness would not allow me to.  So, what do I do when I cannot run?  That’s simple, I…

Last Long Run until RnR Savannah Marathon

I got my 24 done yesterday.  It took me 3 hrs and 31 minutes and 9 seconds (3:31:09).  I really could not have asked for a more perfect day…well, I probably could have but it would of just been wrong to do so.  The temperature at the start of the run was 66 degrees and…

A Short Quick Run on a Slightly Chilly Evening

This evening I ran a short 3.06 miles at a pretty decent pace.  My run time was :22:15:60 and the temperature was a slightly chilly 59 degrees with windy conditions and humidity at 60%.  I ran at Whitemarsh Island trail and loved it! There’s not much to say about this run.  When I started the…

A Rainy Night Run and Introduction to Gear Review

Yesterday, after an incredibly good long stretch I walked up to a treadmill a the Island’s Ymca and stared at it long and hard.  After ten seconds I decided to take my chances in the dark, rainy conditions outside.  I strapped on my headlamp and headed out for a pleasant 3.6 mile run.  I loved…

My Test Run – All seems Well

After having to take a day of rest due to my left foot being sore from Friday evening’s run where I landed wrong on a stick because of a nasty doberman, today, I kind of made up for it by running 4.94 miles.  I felt pretty good and strong the whole time.  My left foot…

Running without my Iphone and a Spectacular Sunset

My run this evening was 6.48 miles around the Thunderbolt area.  It was the first run I’ve done in I don’t know how long without my iphone.  I felt naked as I ran.  It was very sad.  I kept it together, though, and pushed on and ran and ran and ran as the tears washed…
