Had a great run tonight. Was worried because my achilles had me limping so bad on Monday and Tuesday but felt pretty good today.

Had a very enjoyable run today with Astrid Galle-Strait. She's averaging under 12 minute miles now so getting better all the time.  Going to sign up for the Turkey Trot at Algonquin Lake on Thanksgiving morning too. http://www.ymcaofbarrycounty.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=73&Itemid=46 Josh and Sara are running that one too.

8 Mile Fitness Run 10/28/12 by wm8c at Garmin Connect - Details
Had a good run this morning considering I haven't been out for more that 3.5 miles in 2 weeks now. Met Astrid on the trail and ran the 2 miles back to the house with her.  Won't be long and will have to start thinking about 25K training again :)

Gave up deer hunting for a run? I must be ill...no, just needed the exercise more than the venison at the moment and lots of time yet. Met Astrid Galle-Strait on the trail for the last 2 miles coming back.

Hot is all I gotta say. Should have gotten up and started run about an hour earlier than I did. I'll go out for another 3.5 miles tomorrow to make up for it with the wife :O)

The 25K is now two weeks past but I am determined to try and keep up my mileage a bit more this summer so I don't have to work so hard come winter to get ready for the next 25K.

Didn't finish quite as strong as I wanted but I finished once again so in the end, that's the most important this for me and I managed a new PR as well.  Click the link to see the detail for each mile of the run.  I can see where I hit the hills on Butterworth and just never quite recovered the pace after that! Good weather for the run today!

3.65 Mile Training Run 5/1/12 by wm8c at Garmin Connect - Details

Had a great run tonight. Every week my running is getting stronger and faster so I'm hoping that I'll be good and ready for the 25K in a week and a half. Did almost 3.64 miles in 33:02 min. at an average pace of 9:05. Back in Jan. I was at 3.39 miles at 34:07 and a pace of 10:03.  That's improvement I like to see. Hope this continues till after the Fifth Third :O)

What a beautiful morning it turned out to be. Was a cold start at about 29 deg. but perfect running weather and a good run with friends is always a good day!

Ken Bailey and I had a great run. Was 55 deg. most of the day and with the clouds it didn't feel too warm for running that way either. Ran the entire 25K course minus the downtown portions but I'm sure Ken now has a much better feeling for the course to mentally prepare for the big day!

Had a great time at the training run down at the local YMCA today! The Fifth Third group does a great job providing these runs with aid and water stations and just a good chance to feel out the route before race day.

Definitely not a great day for a run but got it done none the less. Had Joshua along for moral support today as I know it wasn't as hard of a work out that he would normally put in but he didn't dust me until the last mile when I gassed on the last hill lol! Good think there aer a few weeks left to get my mileage back up because I certainly wasn't feeling another 5 miles when I got home this morning. Thank you God for another 10 miles in the log!

This is going to be a long training season if I can't get my head back around the longer runs again. I seem to be getting lazy and running for more than an hour doesn't feel natural at the moment. Something better than 5 deg. probably wouldn't hurt either but in years past that never seemed to bother me. Oh well, it's early yet :O)

I must say I would love to be running somewhere in Scottsdale right now instead of this but hey, it's still part of God's beautiful world and I love being able to get out and share it with him no matter the weather! Wish someone would plow a single path down the Paul Henry Trail for the winter though so we could still use it better.

What a beautiful day to be "out of shape". It still amazes me how long it takes to get into shape but how little time it takes to get out of shape! Going to be a long January as I prepare to get ready to start 5th third training again in February. Sunshine on the order for today so we need to enjoy it! Winter will be back soon!
