For a guy who can run across Alabama, you should not be d.r.a.g.g.i.n.g the last mile.

bottom dropped out in the middle of the first few, which made the dog drag even slower, and then had to go out for more miles after church stuff...

From nevels on Wed, Feb 15, 2017 at 08:37:42 from 155.74.255.53

I'm curious if you have a mileage goal for delano12, or if your mind set is more of a "let's see how I do off of my current training"

From nevels on Thu, Feb 23, 2017 at 13:50:48 from 155.74.255.53

for so many years, it's just been a "let's see" approach, but this year i've put some "a and b goals" out there as a kick in my rear to get back in shape again. i'm hoping to get somewhere over 100k, and if the stars align just right, i'd be thrilled to push closer to 70...

it's been so long since i've really gone in to push for an ambitious goal that i'm really just not sure if i'm where i need to be fitness-wise or not.

should be an interesting race...

a little OT at 5:15am... oddly enough, it was the rowing that was the hard part this morning rather than the running

...and a little pm yog with the dog...

That doesn't look like a satisfied expression. Hope you're not injured

From nevels on Mon, Mar 06, 2017 at 09:47:00 from 155.74.255.53
