Day 86 & 80 Rest / Day 81-8 miles: A couple of kind of lame weeks of training are beginning to show up. This 8 miles was not only difficult, but I felt horrible all day after the run. My foot hurt again, my hamstrings were tight (which I have never had before) and I… Continue reading Day 86 thru 82

Day 78 thru Day 84
Days 78 thru 85: Injury and slackardness. Monday I trimmed my beard (when I should have been running) and then immediately tripped and hurt my foot. On Tuesday, I got out ran my 5 miles. At about the 4 mile mark, my foot started to hurt pretty bad. I made it back to the house, but it… Continue reading Day 78 thru Day 84
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. I started out on my 8 mile run in good shape. A few sprinkles here an there, but nothing too bad. … Continue reading Day 71 thru 74
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 64 – 69: OK, yes I have been negligent in my duties. The daily runs are getting to be un-eventful and it get’s harder and harder to come-up with an interesting post.

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.

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. For the first 3 miles I was pretty tight and was thinking that I might just stop at 4, but then I remembered the Superman Shirt (See last weblog entry). The groove runs… Continue reading Day 60
