Cheston's Running Blog

I felt a little guilty about not running last Saturday. I had to get up way early and worked way late because of the deer hunt. I'm in law enforcement, so when the rest of the world plays, I get to work for the most part.

I did an easy 7:30 minute mile for 6 miles with my dog. I then did another 3 miles with my wife, while pushing the baby jogger. The dog put in another 3 as well.

I felt pretty good and could have easily pushed the pace a lot faster, but I'll give it another week of easy running to curb any post marathon injuries.

I set my garmin "or the Toy as Sasha calls it" to Virtual Partner for the first time in 2 years. I set it at an 8 minute mile so I would beat it for sure, and it felt pretty good.

I let the dog take a break today and ran 6 miles without him. The run felt smooth and effortless, so I pushed the last 3 about 1 minute per mile faster.

I did another 3 with the misses pushing the baby jogger. I let the dog run with us at a slower pace. Total of 9.11

Pretty much the same run today as yesterday. The first 6 I did with the dog, who I almost tripped on and had to hurdle. It was cold and raining a little, which made me push just a little on the way home. The run again felt smooth and effortless. I think I'll be ready next week for a little speed.

Did another 3 with my wife and kid. I wonder if the extra 3 I do with her help or not. The pace is so slow I wonder at time, but it's 3 more then I would have gone otherwises and it gives us a chance to talk. Total 9.11 miles

Good run, just me and the dog. Felt great. I did everything I could to hold back the pace, but it felt so effortless I couldn't resist. Total of 6 miles.

Another good run, cold and windy this morning. The last two miles coming home I didn't mean to run fast, it just kind of came natural and easy.

I think I'll be all healed and ready for some speed by next week.

Did an additional 3 with my wife while pushing the baby jogger. Total of 9 miles for me and the dog.

Another finished week of running. It's a great feeling knowing that I ran 6 days and now I have one off. It was a great week. I'm fresh and feel like I could have gone much faster and farther. That's how I want to feel right now, because I plan on gradually building my base to about 20 miles farther a week then I once was. I'll do it slow, as to remain rested and fresh.

Ran 8.05 with the dog this morning. Felt smooth. It's uphill on the way out, so my time is always slower going out. It was blowing hard on the way out this morning as well.

Finally figured out how to set and view individual miles on Garmin. I think it was a little off going out.
