Today my wife wanted to go for a run with me, so we did a little jogging around Boyds Mill Pond. Also our dog Scooby tagged along. The temperature was around 65 with light winds, it was a great day to be outside and just be alive. I grabbed my Garmin watch to track my run, but it was dead. So I used my iPod and nike+ to track our run. We ran at a crawling 10:20 pace.

 

I also rode my bike while my wife was watching some chick flick. I have my road bike on a trainer in front of the TV. Now that’s Lazy! Ha ha.

AM. Back to the grind

I ran an easy 4.5 miles at 7:30 pace.

 

I've got two races coming up next month a 5k & an 8k. The 5k I'm not so concerned with because it's so large, it's hard to get in a good position at the starting line.  But the 8k is a smaller local race. I've won my age group last year. I may have won my age group the year before, I can't remember now. I want to shave my 8k time. The race isn't until March 26th, so i should have plenty of time to work on it. Please give me some guidance!

 

PM     

Tonight I was under the gun to get my run over with quickly being Valentines Day and all.

1st mile @ 7:30 pace

1.50 mile @ 6:00 pace

0.75 mile @ 8:00 pace

0.25 mile @ 6:00 pace

 

I wanted to keep pushing, but my tummy started bubbling. I called it a day. Also on my mind is my Hot wife waiting at home for me to take her out to dinner. Can you blame me for cutting my run short???

I think it may be time for me to get some new running shoes. At least once a week my feet are killing me because of my running shoes. I need to do some research to find a good shoe. Does anybody have any preferences?

PM.

I ran around Boyds Mill Pond with my wife and dog. Its nice to have a running family.

I woke up 5 minutes before the alarm clock this morning, feeling robbed of precious time I went back to sleep for another hour and a half.

 

This afternoon I went to the Y and ran on the treadmill. I ran 8 miles at 7:18 pace.

This afternoon I ran with my wife around our church. Just a nice easy jog outside enjoying the fresh air. After my wife was done, she drove home and I ran home by the moon light. It was nice and relaxing. I’m not sure what I did per mile, but my ipod says that I averaged 8:06
