"Just Race" - Jonn during Stockade-athon 15k 11.11.2007

I live in upstate NY. I am the oldest of four kids. I've been running since the spring of 2003 when I decided to shed some extra weight and maybe go out for my high school cross country team. Currently am doing MS in Education. Hope to teach Social Studies one day. I have the most amazing girlfriend ever, and she frequently goes running/jogging/hiking with me. Going to marry her one day :)

11:00 AM - Gorgeous weather today, though somewhat windy. Sunny with temps right around 40; Emmy and I went to her high school track to reminisce and get in a nice walk / jog!  It went simply splendid, and it was so cool to be able to get out for another walk in this soon-to-be-spring weather.  Ended up doing a 1 mile warm up walk in about 14:26, then did a 1 mile "jog" at about 9:42 pace (pain free! yes!) then walked a mile, and did another .5 miles of jogging @ 9:56 pace.  Man that felt really great! :) So happy that things are on the upswing.  Will make sure to take it nice and slow though so that improvements will continue!

Total Time: 52:30  Total Distance:  4 miles  Average Pace:  13:07 / mile pace

 

Happy Easter Fellow FRBloggers! ( A safe travel to any of our members and their families travelling to see loved ones this weekend.  Congratulations  to everyone for a consistent winter training season. Hope everyone is as excited as I am about SPRING! Best of luck to everyone and those of you who are also in the middle of a 'healing' phase like me, you're in my prayers!  Great things are still to come in 2008!)

 

Have fun.  Run strong.  Run safe.  And keep on truckin'!
