A Good Run Through the Neighborhood

I had an enjoyable 6.76 mile run through the neighborhood this evening after work.  Blistered feet did not bother me and no stomach problems!  Yeah!  Life is good! I started at the front of the house and ran up Wessels to Altman, to Bonaventure Road.  I did my two minute calf stretch at Bonaventure...

The Satirical Thunderbolt Runner

  My running life is a satire, -or, should be.  I swear, something always gets thrown in during one of my runs that throws me for a loop.  If it’s not aching calves and achilles, it’s blisters or charging dogs or yelling, honking motorists!  Another one of my favorite monkey wrenches is stomach problems! ...

Blisters and Pumpkins all in a day of Running

I ran 8.85 miles through the Thunderbolt area this morning.  It was turning into a glorious run until about mile 6 when I began to feel a hot spot on the bottom of my foot, right smack in the middle of the ball of the foot.  Then, another hot spot developed in the very...

Enjoying the Run

I had a very pleasant 7.24 mile run this evening after work.  It was awesome.  It was just me, the road, chirping birds and a ton of traffic on highway 80 and Victory.  Several people honked their horns as they drove past me and I flipped them the bird.  Life is good.  I really...

Of Runs and Heat

I ran 6.79 miles through my hood.  Prior to my run I spent 15 minutes giving my legs a good stretching.  Once I started my run I again, made my now customary stop at Kansas and Bonaventure and stretched for about 2 to 3 minutes.  After that I ran to my heart’s delight.  That...

A Pleasant Run on a Beautiful Sunday

It was an incredibly beautiful day today.  It would of been a crime had the sun gone down & I had not squeezed in a run.  So, I ran 6.4 miles this evening before sunset.  It was a very pleasant, slow run.  The temperature was 67 degrees and humidity was at 54%. Today’s run...

A Slow Cautious Run

I ran 4.64 miles yesterday through my neighborhood. I started off in front of my house and headed up Wessels to Altman to Bonaventure Road. I ran up Bonaventure but quickly had to pull over for a stretch break in Kansas. My left calf was feeling a little tender and tight. I stretched at...

Recovery Not There Yet

The plan for today was go to the gym and hit the weights for about an hour and then go for a slow short run.  I stuck to the plan but unfortunately, the recovery I had hoped for after a sans running weekend was not there.  About a mile into the run it became...

A Time to Rest, A Time to Heal

The last couple of days has seen my running take a step back.  I had to cut my runs short yesterday and today due to an aching left calf and right heel.  I think I’ve overworked my legs.  Since returning from Africa I have aggressively hit the gym and pounded the pavement running.  Maybe,...
