Updated running log

Just a quick post today, still very busy with move related projects etc. I updated my running log (finally) and all miles are posted on the Buckeye link I have on this blog. Had a decent 10 miler yesterday on a very humid morning. Hope I can continue with strong running the next 3 weeks before the race.

Congratulations to Mike on his awesome Ironman Canada finish today! I just checked the Ironman website and saw the results - solid race, Mike! His blog is one that I read and enjoy every week.

That is all for now. I am due for a new pair of shoes soon - I can feel my shoes going flat. I have a $45 store credit to use at Dick's Sporting goods so I might go shopping soon.

Happy running!

Where are my shoes?

Hello again! Yes, I am still around but I am very busy getting settled in our new home. The last three weeks have been wild but luckily I have managed to get a few runs in. I am basically off my running plan for the half marathon. However, I still plan to run strog and set that new PR! I ran a great 11 miler on Sunday with a friend at an average 8:30 pace. I am feeling good about the long runs. I now have a nagging knee issue that just won't go away. I hope it clears up by the weekend. I have one more moving truck to manage this weekend and somewhere I hope to squeeze in another long run.

Anyways, I'll be checking in on the blogs I read this week. Hope your training is going well. Drop me a note if you get a chance.

Run strong!

Back to running

The past two weeks have been very, very busy. I just moved and I took a week off from running because of everything we had to get done. I guess hauling boxes and furniture could be considered cross training, right?

It is good to be settled again and although the list of house projects is growing longer I decided that I had to lace up the shoes and head out the door. I was over due! It really felt good to get out the past two mornings at 6am. The temps were in the 90s the past two days so the early run was perfect. I plan to run 10 on Sunday and I will be back on track for next week.

That's all for now, just checking back in. Need to go do some painting now so I can cross another project off of the list!

Happy running.
