Sweat365 - Move more - every day!
I got up today and realized that if I ran I would make 400 miles for the year. I was very tired after yesterday’s 11 miler. So, I took it slow. Tomorrow is a day off!
Workout:
I felt a little slower today, but I’m on track for Rock n’ Roll Seattle.
Workout:
Quick run.
Workout:
Neighborhood run.
Workout:
I regret walking 3 miles in Danskos yesterday. My calves and lower leg muscles were very sore and tired during this mornings run!
Workout:
I added on to last weeks loop. I’m trainng for Rock n’ Roll 1/2 Marathon. I’m starting to feel stronger again. The hills help.
Workout:
Quick morning run
Workout:
Again…I ran out of time and had to cut my run short.
Workout:
I made the mistake of checking e-mail prior to hitting the gym. This delayed my workout and forced me to run short. Oh, welll!
Workout:
I have one of the coveted race numbers for the Seattle Rock n’ Roll 1/2 Marathon. I thought I would continue running 10 milers every other weekend after my Resolution Series. That hasn’t happened. I trained Steve for Boston and then quickly fell off my training schedule.
Real estate is picking up and I’ve been incredibly busy. This is good news for the economy, but bad news for my running. I’ve maintained fitness, but haven’t been getting as many long runs in.
I got out and ran a hilly 9 miler and I’m glad I did. Now all I need to do is log in 11 this week and 13-14 next week, then I will feel ready. Of course I will finish….I’ve done about 60 half marathons, so I know I can slog through if I have to. I just want to enjoy this Inaugural Event.
Workout:
Although I got a late start, I’ve been a serious runner since 1994. I ran my first marathon in 1995 on my 30th Birthday. It’s been my goal to run the Boston Marathon since then. I missed qualifying by 12 minutes that year. I needed to run 3:40 and ran 3:52. Running in the most prestigious marathon, is the ultimate for most runners. The fact that you have to qualify, only fueled my competitive juices.
Over the next 9 years I ran 6 more marathons. I love running so much that I became a personal trainer and running coach in 2001. I continued to train and came within 4 minutes of my goal in 2003, when I ran 3:49. I was seriously hoping to qualify in 2004, but it didn’t happen. I had flare ups of plantar fasciitis off and on since I began running. In 2006 I ran 5 half marathons. Apparently this was too much for my body to handle. My plantar fasciitis became acute. I had to take time off to heal. (more...)
