Monday’s workout: Treadmill, 3.0 mi., 27:31, 9:10/mi. I started at 6.3mph and increased by 0.1mph every 0.5 mi. until I hit 3 miles. I may have done more, but time stands still for no aspiring runner, and work isn’t thrilled … Continue reading →

Okay, so after my eight miles on the treadmill midweek last week, things sort of fell apart for me, mentally. Looking at the numbers, I realize that physically I’m doing okay, but…ugh. Thursday was sort of a forced rest day, … Continue reading →

You guys. Youguysyouguysyouguys. GUYS. Today’s workout: 8.0 mi., 1:16:01, average pace 9:31/mi. I ran 8 miles on the treadmill this afternoon. EIGHT! That’s a personal treadmill distance record (PTDR – yes I just made that up).And the scary part is, it … Continue reading →

Over the past few days, I’ve been playing quite a bit with the new Kindle Fire my parents got me for Christmas! One of the things I really like about its color screen is the ability to subscribe to magazines … Continue reading →

Today’s workout: 8.0 mi., 1:16:26, average pace 9:31/mi. I think sitting in the car so much over the last few days took a toll on my legs. I felt fine for the first four or five miles, then around mile 7 … Continue reading →

…in more ways than one. I’m ALMOST ready for Christmas; I have a few gift cards to buy, a few things to pop in the mail tomorrow, and a few presents that haven’t yet been delivered (that will need to … Continue reading →

Three miles in 27:46 this morning on the usual Campbell route. I didn’t feel quite as weak as last week, but I didn’t feel particularly strong either. Still hating hills, I don’t see that changing anytime soon. Luckily, I had … Continue reading →
