Total Distance

5.00

Well this is my first entry in my blog. I ran today in about 40 degree weather. Felt very nice to just have a pair of cotton shorts on. I've been running many many years. Always kept up at least 15 miles a week. 3 times a week. Then years ago i got hurt (shins splints) and started going to the gym instead. Which thats' what i have been doing for years now. I would like to train for a marathon Boston was always my dream. I get shivers down my spine when i think of it. But i know if i am to do this i will have to stay out of the gym pretty much cause for some reason they both just don't go good together for me.

I'm retired and work parttime but haven't been called into work for sometime which pis**es me off. So I'm thinking hell with them all i will run 8-12 miles a day.. It seems i can only run and enjoy it in the morning hours before i eat anything. I used to be an afternoon runner and evening to but at my age now mornings seem best.

Today my run felt fast and smooth. I didn't time it and haven't timed any of my runs for years. But i know it was a sub 8 min I'm sure. I'll have to buy a watch i guess..

Well ok .. if anyone wants to give me a shout go ahead..

Welcome to the blog. Looks like you have an outstanding goal set for yourself and a plan to achieve it. Once you get in the habit of tracking your times and blogging every day I am sure you will be able to see yourself improve towards the BQT quickly.

Welcome to the blog! Running is much better than working anyway :) You definitely need a watch :)

Thanks for the comments. I see everyone here is from Utah.. Well hope i can keep it up .. what happens to me usually is i run hard for 2 or 3 days then i hit a sleepless night. Not sure what happens to me but takes me a while to get back into sleeping mode.. usually if affects me for 2 days or so. Which then i stop running. Always had this problem.. even when i was younger i would wake up at night in the sweats.

Welcome to the blog! Are you able to run 5 miles 6 days a week? If not, how about 4? Try running 6 days a week as many miles as you can so that the next day you feel up to repeating it.

Hi Sasha. I use to run 5-6 miles a day then usually a 8-12 mile run on the weekend. But yes i do have to try and add the extra days instead of just mileage i think. I have to try for this evening maybe 4 miles that would be fast and easy..
