After a much needed long stretching session at the Island’s ymca I went for a 5.88 mile run around Whitemarsh Island in my blue bikilas and cep calf sleeves yesterday. Calf sleeves are miraculous things. They help me run when my calves are tight and knotted up. Without the calf sleeves my runs are...
This past Friday I ran 5.03 miles in the Daffin Park area. Saturday morning I ran 3.84 miles on River Street as I looped the 0.32 mile loop 12 times during the killer stairs training for 30 minutes. Both days, the running was hard and good. The pain in my left calf was minimal...
Some days you have it…some days, you don’t. Tonight’s run would have been perfect had my left calf behaved better. It knotted up after about one mile and did not let up until I cut my run short and stopped at the front of my parent’s home. Had it not been such a spectacular...
I made it out for an outdoor run today in my blue bikilas. It was not a bad run but it was one with a lot of little aches here and there. The first mile was just tough on my old creaking body. I was cold and uncomfortable for the first mile. Around...
Night two of treadmill running at the island’s ymca. I wanted to run outside but I felt I needed to lift weights first. Any way, I left work at 5:00pm, went home and took Gypsy for a 1.6 mile walk and then went to the gym. Mr. Gypsy”s walks tend to last about 30...
I had this crazy idea yesterday while I was running on one of those killer Startrac treadmills about running an ultra on a treadmill. I’ve read that a lady that lives in Arizona ran 100 miles on a treadmill last year. How about putting together a 24 hour race on treadmills at the Island’s...
Yesterday, I helped out during the Delirium Ultra 24 race. I made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and maintained the food station for the runners for about 6 hours. While I wasn’t tending to the food station I was snapping pictures left and right of these amazing athletes. Tim Waz and his crew put...
Tonight’s run was certainly one that I did not feel like doing but I made myself go. I ran 4.44 miles through my hood in very chilly weather. Actually the temperature wasn’t really cold but I felt cold pretty much the entire run. Actually, even when I was walking mr. Gypsy (before I did...
Last night I broke the 4 mile barrier on my new grey bikilas! I ran 5.62 miles in Whitemarsh Island after stretching at the Island’s ymca for about 30 minutes. At first I did not feel like running because it was such a chilly, damp night. And, I’m not a big fan of night...
Well, I still have not been able to break the 4 mile barrier with my brand new grey bikilas ls. My run this evening was a measly 3.14 miles on a startrac treadmill at the island’s ymca. I almost did not run but a poster on the wall made me reconsider. The poster stated,...
