This weekend we had a long run on Sunday.  I was really looking forward to it.  And about 2/ 2 1/2 miles into our 10 mile run, I had some serious knee pain.  I tried to walk it out and massage it out.  But nothing worked.  So today I went to the doctor.  It turns [...]

Tonight at training we did a little fartlek training.  Fartlek, while fun to say (and allows for several unbelievably bad jokes and puns) is a type of training where you vary the pace significantly during your workout.  So for us it was, we’d sprint or run hard for half a lap and then take it [...]

First, the guy who lead the run, just said, “Ok let’s go.” and [...]

I never thought I would be able to get past the 5k mark.  But I did.  I’m up to 7.5 mile!  I did it in roughly  1 hour and 40 minutes.  So that’s a 13:30 a mile.  I’d like to get that down to an 11 or 10 minute mile once I get into the [...]

I never thought I’d say this, but I’m actually starting to like running.  Today I did a 3 mile run,came home and took a shower and then headed out to run some errands  On the way back I thought about taking another run.  But I decided against it since we have a 7.5 mile run [...]
