Final Training Run Before The Groundhog Marathon
Things were a bit off, and out of the normal, this morning. It actually started last night as I discovered that the #Endomondo service was apparently down, which meant I couldn’t load my training plan to see what my last run would be. Then this morning the Endomondo app on my phone wouldn’t even load right. Since my smartwatch came with #Strava built-in, and I’ve been syncing data there, I decided to give it a go on my run. It worked out well enough, except the watch and phone apps don’t talk to each other in real-time which meant I had no audio coaching and no real-time stats, including heart rate, pace, etc. Looking at my final stats I knocked the run out with flying…Another Interval Training Run For Clean Water On A Brisk Thursday Morning
The number of children in Africa that suffer from lack of clean water is staggering. I’ve been to Sierra Leone and seen first hand the hardship the people experience when they don’t have easy access to clean water, and I’ve seen the transformation when they do. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun Give to Clean Water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NErFocusing On The Distance Not The Pace

Today I tried to keep that focus though I still finished with a much faster pace than my training plan directed. I’ll be working on that more in the weeks to come….Always On The Lookout For New And Healthy Recipes – Greek Wrap

After a tough easy Monday run today was better, even though it was generally a harder run. #HWI #Run4Water #GroundhogMarathon #Garmin #Running #GivingTuesdayNo One Cares If I Get My Run In…To Run Or To Sleep
I have to believe that every runner has those days where you have to sell yourself on the idea of getting your run in. I enjoy my running time, but there are those days where I get up and think to myself, “No one cares if I go out and run, I could just go back to bed”, but when I think about why I am running the idea of not going out quickly fades away. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon #RiverBankRun I run, you give, I match it, it’s as easy as that.
