One way....

  So, the weather is permitting mid-day running. I took off around 1 ish and headed to the Church. It's 7.57 miles of rolling hills. I finished pretty good! Did a couple miles sub 10 and felt I had plenty left in the tank.
  We've been receiving rain and things are greening up a bit....hope your running is going well! Peace!

A little bit more...

Yessirre! I am recovering and feeling pretty good! I would really like to start biting off some longer miles but I will stick with my 26 day recovery plan.
   I am focusing on my stride, turnover and push off. I find when I concentrate on push off I run faster! Today I ran a 9:23 first mile, so I am seeing this focusing causing me to run faster. I hope the achilles holds up......peace!

Slow Going

  Back to back outdoor runs. I have only run short distances the last two days. I am running slow! And feeling tired. I guess I need to recover but I sure wish I could recover faster! The last two runs have really been rather pathetic. I mean I have felt so slow and tired. I think the thick pollen in the air is having some impact, too.
  So I will keep recovering and hope to manage some type of quality workout this week.
  Peace!

Like a million dollars!

 I feel good today! I went out for a short base pace run....I am in a mini-taper for the race Saturday. I've done no long run but have done a t5.5 mile tempo run and speed work, with two short road runs.
  Today I feel some of the residual fatigue but I also sense energy. It will be interesting to see how I respond Saturday. I feel like I've come a long way since my last HM...I don't even remember when! I think it was November 2010.
  Well I felt strong and my pace kept getting faster on my little run. Rest day tomorrow! Helping my awesome Niece move today! 3.1 miles 29:12...Peace

Outdoor Run

  I eventually want to transition all my runs to the outdoors....it was so nice to be out side! The temps are in the 80's!!! Wow...crazy March weather!
  So all I did was an easy recovery run. 3.1 easy miles loping along at reco pace-31 min even total.
  Now to mow the yard!! Oh boy!!! Peace!

Trees, Basketball, Bluegrass, and Running

  It doesn't get much better than this!! Planted another batch of trees putting my total up to 125 in ground so far....trying to keep up with the basketball tourney...Go Mizzou...hey Bill, we could be matched up against Marquette! Then a nice road run...short recovery...and Bluegrass pickin' tonight! Me and my sweety will eat out...hopefully were they have a TV....after the gig we will swing by the best ice cream place in the state and enjoy some junk calories!
  Come on rain! We need you!!! 3.15 miles in 32:11....Peace!

Short Road Run

  The weather is way too nice to treadmill run....80 degrees!!! Sunshine!!! It's Summer like! I love...love Summer!!
  So today was an easy recovery day...3.1 miles in 30 minutes. I felt somewhat rough...the feet, legs, and butt all sore from hard runs and planting trees! I'm still researching for a shoe that will not start hurting my feet on longer runs. Any suggestions appreciated....otherwise I will keep training and planting! 12 more in the ground...totaling 95 planted so far! Peace! (Oh, we received 7/10ths of an inch of rain!!)
