Almost 40!?

  No, not my age! 40 was a long time ago! I am so grateful to have lived as long as I have! No, I am about to knock on a 40 mile week! It's been a long time!
  I did a 16.6 miler Monday with 13X1 miles @ MP (9:05's)....then a 9.4 progression run Wednesday, an easy 10K yesterday-puts me at 32.2 miles with 2 runs left!
  I am encouraged with how the achilles are responding.
 Well I sent off the registration form with the check....so I'm gonna race on the 23rd!
 I feel like I ought to be able to run within a time frame near my last 1/2-1:52+ I will go for it!
  Hope you all are well! Peace!

I'm running

I plan each run based on a specific time frame and purpose-this week is a cut down week. I need rest! I ran 90 minutes Monday with 7 miles at MP with 2 min rest intervals between each mile. Training MP pace.
   Tuesday is a rest day....today I will run a 90 minute "stamina" run. Similar to a steady state run training the body to run at a tempo faster than MP.
  Then on Thursday I run 1 hour easy, recovery type run, this is when I work on my mental acuity.....keenness of mind regarding form,etc....
  Friday and Saturday are pace days, fartlek, time trials....at least some HMP running.
Race November 23rd!  Just a half but still excited! Peace!

Doin' good!!

  It's been a long road back from the achilles problem, and it's not 100% yet, but I am running again! I've lost 13 pounds and hope to drop 5-6 more before my first race in over 18 months! I ran a 15 miler last week and felt fantastic!
   I am looking at a race in the middle of November....a little Half Marathon. I think about my blogger friends often. Hope you're well. Friend me on Facebook! Peace!

Doin' it!

  I am running an hour a day....the heat has been turned on here...that's how I like it! Slimming down and gearing up for some marathon training.
   I've decided to just kind of "chill" on this next marathon. I will put in the training but I'm not putting any pressure on myself to achieve a goal besides finishing strong.
  Saw two Copperheads on the road yesterday!! Ahh country roads! So exciting!
 Peace!

Lovin' it!

   It is good to feel good! The achilles is still a little pest but for the most part I can run! I will reach 25 miles logged today! I hope to race this year! Maybe a 1/2 in the fall...hope you are well!

Update

    I've put in five weeks of 20+ miles, still have the achilles burn but due to my own therapy regime it seems to be improving. Hope everyone of you is doing great!

Alive...yes!!!

 I am still alive!! The Achillies heel has taken me down but not out....I have been walking and rowing....thus I am in great physical shape just not great running shape. The going is slow but in the famous words of the treminator..."I'll be back!"
  Merry Christmas!
