Doug's Running Thingy

Two months into ramping back up to consistent running.  Four miles this eve without stopping!  Nice to have decent weather to continue this comeback.  I plan on keeping it at 4/day for 4 or 5 days/week for a bit while also adding in striders and thrice weekly resistance workouts.  Down ten lbs over last several weeks... ten more to go sheesh

Workout this morning.  Will walk a couple miles this eve and throw in a few easy striders.

Gonna have to break out the winter gear - nice run in the neighborhood this morning... 62 degrees

Creepy Hurricane Matthew skies with nice temps this morning.  Travis and some UNF friends bailed out of Jax to our house late last night - fun fun fun

Now we have Cynda and her boyfriend from Gainesville at the house to... had to do my pushup/dumbbell workout in the walk-in closet this morning.  Walked/ran the dog a wee bit after

Nice run on nice busy trails this morning.  Good to see faces out there that havent seen me in a while.

Evening run in the neighborhood.  Failed to hit 20 miles for the week, so I need to lay out exactly when I shall run my 4 milers this week... Sun PM, Tues AM, Wed PM, Fri AM, Sat AM.  Will do that for a couple weeks and reassess.

Workout and 4 weak striders - hard to believe I ever did that comfortably right now

Chilly morning run in the neighborhood - half mile walk warmup was a big help

Trail run after work.  Four deer and some people joined the party - nice

Yoga/flexibility work this morning and then a nice dog walk with a few striders - he so wanted to really open it up, but I keep him on leash in the neighborhood and I am nowhere near opening it up...

Chilly (62) damp neighborhood run this morning.  Felt pretty good... not quite runner-like, but getting there.

Ahhh - nice day - decent run on the trails this morning followed by 5 hours on the boat with Lisa and the beasty dog

On the boat all afternoon so wasnt up for the evening run yesterday.  Off work all week so slept in a bit this morning and just finished 4 miles in the neighborhood - now for some cross-training... yardwork, housework, vehicle tidying

Evening run in the neighborhood after a quick trip to Lake City to meet Travis and drop off the dog.  Two days in 'bama and two days in Dunedin coming up... will get the runs in best I can.

Fourish at a nice little wogging trail in a park in the Inlaws' neighborhood. Central bama finishing up a three day stretch of record high temps just like tally bleh.

Nice two mile walk with Lisa and the folks at Philippe Park this morning and then a few miles in the folks' hood this afternoon

Nice evening run - actually was able to sort through some work issues while running rather than thinking about how horrible it is to be so out of shape. Things are looking up.

Four on the trails after work and then a two mile walk and a few striders with the dog after dinner.

Core / yoga and walk/jog the dog this morning - cool and nearly crisp

Cool morning run in the neighborhood enjoying the waning moon and venus. Pretty sure I was threatening 8 flat pace on the last mile, baby!

Trail run before heading to the coast for a few hours of fishing - nice day with the wife and boatdog.

Wasn't quite feeling the four miler this evening so I bailed out and then walked a mile and a half later with the dog. Too much boating yesterday and yard work today.. well you can never actually have too much boating.

Longest run of the year! Much better run through the hood than Sunday evening.

Felt borderline great on the trails after work.  Ran the flatter portion of a 5.5 miler I used to frequent... 15 lbs ago  :)

Brisk (temperature and pace!) short run in the dark this morning before taking the car for oil change before work.  Will do 5 mi on the trails tomorrow for 20 on the week.

Real nice trail run with everyone else in tally on a gorgeous morning

Hate time changes of all sorts, but it was indeed nice being able to see where I was running at 0630 this morning.  Gonna run the next two or three mornings as well, then it will become challenging as we jump on a cruise ship for ten days.  I am treadmill-phobic, but the wogging trail on upper deck is supposedly 6 laps to mile - not too bad.  By Friday, I should be down 15 lbs since mid Aug - thatll work.  Another 15 fat loss and 10 muscle added and we are good to go.

Amazing sunrise run in the neighborhood... amazing sunrise - run, so-so.  Dawn of a new day, 'murica

Always a fun time at the trot.  Got back from our ten day cruise on Monday.  I was fairly good while on ship - ran 6 of 10 days but no more than 3 miles each run.  Trotted this morning to a 24:20 finish with miles at 8:01, 8:00 and last 1.1 at 8:18 - pretty pleased actually.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Three easy miles on flat portion of trails - calves kinda sore from Thursday's hilly trot.

Mid-50s in the hood for an easy four.  Nice weather this week to get back into running routine.

Hopefully last sweaty uncomfortable morning run for a while - cold front finally expected our way next couple days and then no more 76 degree mornings.

Quick run after returning to Tally from succesful trip to Clearwater for the Florida Senior Games bowling tourney... 4th in my age group to qualify for Nationals next June in Birmingham - woooo

Evening romp around the neighborhood before decorating the Christmas tree

Another evening run - way too dark at 6 pm for my tastes!  Must shift to morning runs again 

Miserable week at work and crappy funky upper resp issues so didn't run until this morning. Coming around again.

Misty and chilly all day but finally got out for a few before dinner.
