The Lazy Pirate

    First of all i would like to apologize for not keeping my blog up to date. I have been doing alot of light jogging but I've been a little lazy when it comes to posting my workouts.

For the past month i haven't really trained for this race. Ive been doing easy 3 and 4 mile jogs about 4 days a week.

The first 6 miles of the race I was doing great, but shortly after fatigue started to set in. Then the sun came out from behind the clouds and it was harsh. Luckily it wasn't out for too long, but I did notice that I had sun burn once I got home. I snagged a power gel at the 9 mile marker, but I couldn't wash that nasty taste out of my mouth. My motivation was gone by the time I got to the 10 mile mark, so I walked at the water table to enjoy a cool drink, I did the same for the 11th and 12th mile water tables. Obviously this is because i haven't trained myself for the distance properly. All in all i had a great time, and i am looking forward to getting back into racing again.

let the ol legs rest for a day!

I took a nice light jog with my old dog around Boyds mill pond. My quads where on fire...

Lunch time today i did an easy mile walk, to kill some time.

After work i ran the 3 miles, the same workout as yesterday. My legs are feeling a bit better now. My cool down was cutting grass. Yay.

Walked a mile on my lunch break.

After work, My wife, dog, and i did an easy 3.75 jog along side the lake.

again my cool down was cutting grass. but i ran out of gas. So it looks like ill be finishing that up sat. Im meeting up with some folks tomorrow after work to do a run. hopefully we can get 6 or so miles in.

good night pirates!

This afternoon i met up with some friends and fam for a nice easy run. After that we all went to the local pizza house and filled our bellys.

I took the day off from running. I did yard work for most of the day. Cutting trees, cutting grass, ext.
