Age is just a number.

Steady state run for 6 miles this morning after work. 75-85% mhr for the run.  Things went ok that is until we hit the railroad tracks and almost got side swiped, by none else other than my own brother!  Geez.. by one of my own relatives, go figure.. Other than that everything felt strong and smooth this morning.  Antelope and Gordon loop run.   Light weight work with multiple reps.   Dark Horse out...

Easy 8 miles on Hill Field road loop. 70-80% mhr. Pushups and crunches with some stretching afterwards.  Slowly but surely things are coming back into shape now. Looking forward to running a 5k this week with a friend of mine and pacing her to a strong finish.  I just hope the weather stays sane for the weekend.  Dark Horse out..

Played a little CCR and Proud Mary, then took off for the track.  LT progression run at 6/min-5:18/mi.  Started at a good clip after warmup and slowly wound into 5:45/mi pace by mi 2.  Ended with the final mile in 5:18.  80-90% mhr.  Found my groove after mile 2 into the workout and just kept cranking it until I was satisfied.  Amazing what a break from high mileage and racing does for the legs.    Dark Horse out..

I've been working a lot so not much in the way of mileage tonight, but that's ok I keep telling myself that I'm building up slowly over time!  Helps me to feel better about my training or the lack therof so to speak.. Even so I refuse to quit running completely. And if there is one thing all my years of marathoning has taught me, it is that you never quit when things get tough. You can always reach deep inside and take just one more step or just one more stride.  Other folks may give up on you, but if you quit on yourself it's game over..     Dark Horse out.

              4 easy miles total at 65-75% mhr.
