Morning:  I had a good run this morning. My plan was to only run seven miles, but then that changed to eight then nine. I had to stop at nine because i was going to be late for church and i did not what that. I think my pace was around 7:40 and i started the incline at 1.0 and ended at 2.0. I am feeling a lot better about adding more of the incline than i did before. Thanks for reading.

 

 

Afternoon: Ran right after church five miles. My total mileage goal for today was fourteen, so i ran my five to finish off the day. My pace was 7:30 and i ended around 2.0 incline. Anyway, not much planed for the week I think i would like to run a total of 80 to 82 miles. And Saturday i am thinking about running 18 to 20 miles, depending on how i feel. Also, i might be running with Kory and Bill on Saturday from the blog. Well time for my nap now, so have a great day!

I was really tired running this morning and it felt like i had nothing in me. But i can say i did it and now i am done running for the day :). My legs were so dead at the end that i could not feel them. Which is ok because this has happened to me before, so this is nothing new. Not much planned for the day, except work and bowling tonight. Anyway thanks for reading and have a great day!

What a day! The wind just kick my butt big time. The wind was blowing at 23 MPH and I could really feel it. Even though my time is a little slower and the wind blowing really badly I do not feel that bad at all. But i do feel like i need to take an ice bath tonight to help with my long run tomorrow. I am just praying for good weather to help me out. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Had a good run with Kory this morning. Good conversation and Kory really help to pace me at the end of the run, which help out a tons. I was originally going to run 20 today, but decided not too. So we ran 16.15 at a good pace for me anyway, wich is also a P.R. for me. So here is my times. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

No running today :). I had a great time in church and wonderful day with my wife. We went and had lunch together and then went swimming then to the hot pools. I really think that helped my legs out a lot. This week is my cut back mileage week, which is a nice break for me. Have a good week :)!

I had a really good morning of running! The only thing I did different was instead of drinking some water before I went running I drank some apple juice. I thought about drinking some propel before running, but my wife told me that apple juice is better for me so I am glad we bought some. Anyway, thanks for reading and have a great day!

I had a good run this morning with Kory. I would post my results, but my watch stopped so I don't have the whole run. But by best guess my time was around 7:18 per mile. Legs were a little tired, but that is because I did not take my ice bath like I normally do. But on a side note my son is going to Iraq. I though that being in the Air Force that he would not go, I was wrong way wrong. He told me on the phone yesterday that this is the first time they are sending them over. He said that he will being doing a lot of traveling. And I think that is not good. That is when he is in the most danger because of road side bombs. I am scared, very scared and my wife does not know yet. That will be a very bad day when she finds out, a very bad day!!!!

Morning: Ran on the T-mill today. I was thinking about running more miles, but due to time and mp3 player problems I was not able to run more. I was able to run seven miles at a 7:17 pace with a 0.5 incline. Not much planed for today, but nap and movie. I did find out more information about my son going to Iraq, he leaves in August and he thinks he will be over there about seven months and I think he will be gone longer. But at church today I had them pray for safety, so now I give it to God and let Him take care of the rest. This week I will be running 65 miles with Friday being my long day of running 15 miles. Then next week I will run 75 miles and then start my three week mileage cut back for my race in April. Thanks for reading and have a great day and week!!

Evening: I had a really good run tonight! I decided to try something different and run before bed instead of getting up and running at 3:00 in the morning. I am not sure if that was a good idea or not.Because I ended up twisting my left ankle twice during my run once at 2.18 miles and once at 5.18. But i really had a good run as you can see by my times. So please pray for my ankle, thank you! Thanks for reading and have a great night.

I am not sure what is going on with me, but I will take it. I am wondering why my times have gotten faster from running in the morning to running at night. Maybe it is because I am eating a couple of hours before I run at night. I do have to praise God for all the help He is giving me right now. Tonight when I came home from work my ankle was pretty swollen so I iced it and took 800 MG of ibuprofen to help with the swelling. Anyway thanks for reading and have a good night sleep.

I had a really good run this morning with Kory. We had great conversation and I am so thankful that he is will to help me train for my races coming up, Thanks Kory! I started to get really tired toward the end of the run, but that is because I forgot to take my inhaler. But overall I am very happy. I have to go out of town tomorrow so I will not be running but that is ok because I need a day off. Anyway thanks for reading and have a great day and weekend

Morning: I ran a nice easy seven miles at a 7:07 pace. When I was in Boise yesterday I decided to buy some new shoes because my Under Armour shoes are getting high in mileage. I bought some Saucony Cohesion and I like them a lot, they feel more comfortable than the Under Armour but I am going to keep using my Under Armour shoes. Not much planed for today, except church and evening run. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

 

Evening: I was trying to get myself to slow down this evening and I think I did some what of a good job, I guess. My pace was 7:17 for seven miles. Anyway, had a good day I took a nap and went to the movie with my mom for her birthday we went and saw the movie “Knowing” and I thought it was a good movie and I think my mom liked it. Now it is almost time for bed so I can get up early tomorrow and run a little. Thanks for reading and have a great night!

What a horrible run! I ran seven miles at a 7:00 pace, but the wind was around 20 MPH plus and then the snow started. I was doing ok up until mile 2.5 when the snow started in and with the wind that was painful. While I was running the snow in my face felt like little rocks hitting me over and over and then it would get in my eyes and let me just say OUCH that hurts. Then around mile 4.5 to 5.0 I prayed that I would not kill myself because of the cold and not wanting to be hit by a car on the road and less than five minutes later the wind stopped, and I really thanked God. That was my miracle for the day and I gladly take it. Anyway, not much planed for the night, rest and more rest. Thanks for reading and have a great night!

I am planning on running 12 tomorrow and need to get some rest and take my wonderful ice bath. I know you are jealous and would like to take one, but sorry tonight is my night to take one (ha ha).

Not too bad of a run. I was a little soar toward the end, but not too bad. I was thinking about running 70 this week, but after taking to Kory i decided that was a little too. So now i will be running around 64. Thanks for reading and have a great FRIDAY!

Ran another six miles at a 7:04 pace with a 1.0 incline. Went to the movie last night and saw the movie Defiance. I thought it was a good movie, but during the movie another couple came in and talked during the whole movie. I could not hear them, but my wife sure could and she was not happy. Anyway, not much planned for today work and i have to go dig my car out of a bunch of show around it. Thanks for reading and have a great day! :)
