Day 45 – Rest / Day 46 – 6 Miles: I would like to announce the addition of coach Bill Parcels to the Farley training team. His first act as director of blood supply to was to evaluate the blood supply and toss out all of the dead wood. He cut about a pint last night. … Continue reading Day 45 / 46

Day 39
Day 39 – 13.3 miles Team run, 13.3 miles. We have run a half-marathon. Quite a ways from the 1/2 mile I could run 3 1/2 months ago. This was beautiful run from Keenland Race Course, through rolling horse country and back. Did I mention that it was rolling. If I didn’t, well let me… Continue reading Day 39
Day 37 / 38
I am a sluggard! After running on Wednesday night, I did not think it wise to run on Thursday morning so, I will run after work. Sick child, have to leave work and come back, make up hours, get home at 6:30 Valentines Dinner with my wife. No, run is not an option tonight. Maybe… Continue reading Day 37 / 38
Day 35 / 36
Day 35 – Rest / Day 36 – 5 miles The weather turned pretty despicable on Tuesday night. Snow turned to freezing rain and ice. YUK! Thought about running on Tuesday night (good call for those who chose this option) I on the other hand chose to give it a go on Wednesday. I took… Continue reading Day 35 / 36
Day 34 / 35
Day 34 – Rest / Day 35 – 4 Miles I need to catch up on posts. It has been a hectic week at Chuck household. Anyway, Sunday was a rest day. As I said, the 11 miler took me to my limit, but amazingly, I felt pretty good on Sunday except for a voracious… Continue reading Day 34 / 35
Day 32 & 33
Day 32 – Rest / Day 33 – 11 Miles: First off, let me thank the team for hold off on our run today until this afternoon. The rest day was pretty uneventful, but I was a little sore from the soccer game on Thursday. Friday night / Saturday morning I was up until about… Continue reading Day 32 & 33
Day 31
Day 31 – 3 Miles – Waited until after work to run (which I hate). It was a pretty easy run. 3 miles has finally gotten to be relatively easy so, therefore, it is no longer useful. I’m going to miss you, 3 mile runs. Well, 11 miles on Saturday, then 4, 5, 4, and… Continue reading Day 31
Day 30 Part II
Day 30 – 5 Miles – Take-two. After several abandoned attempts and striking on this mid-week 5 miler, I final got it going. At about 10PM last night, finally hit the road. The run felt pretty good, my pace was consistant, breathing was not labored, and I had little pain or fatigue. About 2 miles… Continue reading Day 30 Part II
Day 29 / 30
Day 29 – Rest & Day 30 – 5 Miles – Well, I was planning on knocking out my 5 a day early, but family plans vetoed the run. So this morning, after a night or wind and rain and tornado warnings, I got up, looked at the radar, looked outside and it looked promising. … Continue reading Day 29 / 30
