I think I’m in a funk…don’t know if it’s the weather or the fact that I have a birthday tomorrow. Maybe I’m not getting enough sleep?

I came home, took a nap and went for a jog in the neighborhood. I can’t complain about this weather. September has been so great. I hope this keeps up for another month.

I’ve been running less these last 2 weeks and walking more. I haven’t tracked my walking miles, but I’ve been putting in about 20 miles walking. I’ve been working with a client who wants to do a bit of strength training and more walking/jogging. He has dropped about 10 lbs. I’ve noticed that I’ve really gotten lean as well. I’ve been running about 16-20 miles per week. The combination of running and walking has been good.

Easy run near Green Lake.

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...)
