In high school, I was an slightly overweight , badly asthmatic J.V. cross country runner. I enjoyed being part of the team but never excelled. The summer after my freshman year in college I decided to run a marathon. 6 weeks later I ran a 3:11 at Grandma's Marathon in Duluth (1991) and I was hooked on long distance running where my asthma wasn't as much of a factor.

| Easy run. Still a little sore from Saturday. I didn't do a cool down after the 2 mile or any post race stretching. That would have helped. | Add Comment |

| Hill interval run at work. Ran the paved hill from the pump house to the pavilion. 0.20 miles, 100ft climb, targetted around 90 seconds. Did 4. Felt pretty good. | Add Comment |

| Went shopping at Fleet Feet in Huntsville and then went for a run around south huntsville from the store. Found some imposing hills (Edgehill rd, Hickory Hill Rd, Weatherly, Visa).. Garmin says 1400 ft of climbing. There were a couple 20+ degree climbs. Biggest was around 160 ft up. Took it fairly easy- 8:12/mile pace. I had drank two bottles of Cytomax at home and then took a clif bar along. Well fueled. | Add Comment |

Making a last ditch effort to work on bench pressing for the our plants 12 week fitness challenge. I have 10 days to get up to wear I can do 26 reps of 80lbs. I did reps at 85,90, and 105. I've gotten better - started being able to do 6 reps. On Tuesday, I did 13. We'll see. A $75 reward hangs in the balance. I probably should have taken one of the other challenges: walking (6% incline @ 4mph for 30 minutes) , running (7:30 mile), or elliptical (30 minutes at a specific level).
After my little weight effort, I ran the trails at work. | Add Comment |

Did my second annual baloon chase run. Every year Decatur hosts the Alabama Jubilee Hot Air Baloon festival. Last year I was out for a run and tried to follow the baloons as they flew into Point Mallard. It was alot of fun and make for running miles that were effortless. Its hard to think about how far you are going when you are looking up.
Had fun again. Took pictures of Larry Fuller's baloon (Spirit Chaser). I'll bring those to him at work. | Add Comment |
