I was a little lazy after Saturday’s 10k. Probably, because I know that on March 1st I officially begin to train for a 24 hour run. I did not run on Sunday nor Monday. Tonight I did run 6.36 miles in the Thunderbolt area. The temperature was 63 degrees with humidity at 100%. I...
I could not agree more with the picture above! Switching from the heavier thickly cushioned conventional running shoe to a minimalist shoe like the VFF Bikilas has been revolutionary for me. It has changed the way I run. I have gone from being a heel-landing runner to a forefoot landing runner and the benefits...
Yesterday I ran the Seacrest Preservation 10k. The race started and ended at Forsyth Park. The race takes a beautiful route down Drayton to Bull Street, to Washington Ave and then down to Daffin Park. You follow Daffin Park’s internal road like a chewed up sandwich down it’s esophagus and then upchuck yourself out...
On Tuesday (yesterday), I did a 5.08 mile run on a treadmill at the Island’s Ymca and tonight I ran 8.45 miles at the rails to trails. I was talking with a friend as I ran on the treadmill and that helped the time go by. As I ran and chatted, the topic of...
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...
