Day 76 & Day 77
Day 76 – Rest Day / Day 77 – 20 Miles: 20 mile – what can I say. It is a long way. Two 10 mile loops, 5 water stops and 3 gels (Fuel) and lots of pavement. This was a pretty much un eventful run. No funny stories. No injuries. No snow or rain. … Continue reading Day 76 & Day 77
Day75
Day 75: Ok, Here it is. My birthday post. As I begin my 47th year on this here planet, I start it of with not running. Great start. I decided instead of starting off with a cold wet run, I would sleep in. Good choice. I can use the rest before the 20 this weekend. … Continue reading Day75
Day 71 thru 74
Days 71 thru 74: I’m run—ning in the rain, just run–ning in the rain. Monday’s run was pretty uneventful, but Wednesday brought on my first experience with rain. Fortunately, it was about 60 degrees.

Day 70
Day 70 Race Day: Rhodes 10K. I was already in Louisville with my daughter so, I was ready to go. I got up at about 5:30 and knocked out about 40 minutes of running. I didn’t map it, but I figure it was around 4 miles. I thought I would try and make-up for missing… Continue reading Day 70

Day 62 & Day 63
Day 62 – Rest Day / Day 63 -17 Miles: Friday was a rest day of weather watching. Watching the rain turn to sleet and then to snow through the overnight. Up at 6:30 to a world of white. Breakfast, a few phone calls and then the decision. Yes, we will run through “The Worst… Continue reading Day 62 & Day 63
Day 61
Day 61 – 4 Miles: Up (slowly), Breakfast, procrastination…….. out the door at 5:50. Very stiff and sore. Had a really tough time getting up and getting going. After about 3 miles though, I started to feel OK. After I finished, I felt like I had just finished a longer run. I talked to Taylor… Continue reading Day 61
Day 60
Day 60 – 7 Miles: Up at4:50, Breakfast, out the door at 5:25. Got out a little later than I would have liked.

Days 50 Thru 59
Day 50 thru 59 – Out of the Groove! I remember when my oldest son was little, he had this superman T-shirt. He wore that shirt every day. If he spilled something on it, he turned it inside out or backwards. He wore it under his other clothes and he wore it to bed. My… Continue reading Days 50 Thru 59
