8.9 Mile Fitness Run - 9/28/13 by wm8c at Garmin Connect - Details
Fun run with Astrid this morning. Stopped to see our new neighbors the Rose's. Jen and the kids were home but David was out on a 20 mile training run so we missed him. Felt much better today after not taking my BP meds all week. Guess those won't be taken anymore. Cut my Lipitor dose in half again and legs feeling much better today too. Funny how drugs that are supposed to be good for you make you feel like crap! Now for the rest of the weekend

25K Training Run 4/13/13 Hills! by wm8c at Garmin Connect - Details
25K Training Run 4/13/13 Hills! by wm8c at Garmin Connect - Details
Run was a little shorter today. I miss calculated the route a bit but I also figured Astrid after doing a PR in the 5K might not have the energy for today anyway. I planned a hill training route today and she did great through the hills. These were some big hills too so she got some extra heart rate training which was good. She's recovering much faster now than she used to but she definitely hit a wall at 10.5 miles today. She got it going again pretty quick though. So proud of her!

25K Training Run 3/30/13 - Galloway Method Explored by wm8c at Garmin Connect - Details
25K Training Run 3/30/13 - Galloway Method Explored by wm8c at Garmin Connect - Details
We decided to give this method a try out of curiosity to see if maybe it would work better for Astrid. I think it did in the sense that she wasn't as exhausted at the end as she was last week but it's definitely slower in pace that way. We have a few weeks to decide what is best I suppose. The 15.6 is in sight for her so I think we'll get there one way or another :)

12.5 Mile 25K Training Run - It's The Wall! by wm8c at Garmin Connect - Details
12.5 Mile 25K Training Run - It's The Wall! by wm8c at Garmin Connect - Details
Today was a new distance record for Astrid at 12.5 miles. She hit her wall at about 10.5 and was dropping fast. We got talking about her trusting her body and not what her mind was telling her and once we got her heart rate and breathing back under control she finished out the run just fine! So proud of her! She listened to her coach and got through. My wall was getting through the "I'd like to kill you right now look" that she gave me when we were talking about the mental wall vs. the physical one but she did it and finished out strong at the end. I told she could quit at 12 and she gave another .5 miles! She's a very strong girl once she gets her mind around it :)

What a day for running...not! 30 mph wind gusts, snowing, cloudy, feels more like January than late March. I need some mood improving sunshine!

Why in the heck I went out in this horrible weather to run I'll never know! Oh yeah, Astrid ran this morning so I knew I'd never live it down. Peer pressure stinks! :)

5 deg. outside this morning but the sun was shining and felt quite wonderful actually. The wife is hanging in there even though she has a long way to go yet, her training is on track for now.

3.4 Mile Fitness Run 1/29/13 by wm8c at Garmin Connect - Details
I simply can't keep up with the weather. Saturday we did 9 miles and couldn't hardly find a shoulder to run on with over a foot of snow on the ground and today I was running in my shorts again and the snow is gone! What a wild winter. 54 deg. today and back into the 20's tomorrow.

3.4 Mile Fitness Run 1/17/13 by wm8c at Garmin Connect - Details
Can anyone say "that was colder than a witches you know what in a brass you know what"! Hate windy days and the wind chill was vicious out there tonight but I got through it. Only the tip of the proverbial iceberg as they say on this most recent cold snap we are in for though. I guess I could just say today's run was "exhilarating"!

At 30 deg. this was probably the warmest run I'll have in the next 10 days. Heading into the serious deep freeze towards the end of the week. Had a nice run today with the sun on my face most of the way :)

6 Mile 25K Training Run by wm8c at Garmin Connect - Details
Considering we are both fighting bronchitis and Astrid's knee fighting with her, having been almost 4 weeks since our last longer run, I'll take it. Onward from here. Paul Henry trail snow covered and very hard running which didn't help.
