Yes, It’s Another Run, But There is Snow

I know that I post a lot of runs, I took a break from sharing that aspect of my life for a long time. However, as my running has gotten harder I decided that sharing my runs would do a few things. It would help to keep me accountable to get out there and get a run in, maybe encourage someone else that thinks they can’t, and ultimately keep awareness that part of the reason I run is to continue to help bring water to Africa.

If you are inclined to partner with me to bring more water to Africa consider a donation.

    Running Goals & Purpose

    When I start talking with people about my running there is always the question of why I’m running and what my goals are. I’ll be honest that running just kind of happened.

    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…

    Kicking It Into High Gear

    I felt pretty good starting out this morning with a speedy starting pace. It was a short run this morning so I kicked it up a notch s bit above the easy pace that was called for. I love it a couple of the worship songs come on that talk about running or moving, those really get me fired up. One thing is for certain, winter running is certainly my thing. I’m not sure if I’d go so far as to say that I would choose winter over summer, but it comes close. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus

    Working On A Bit of DIY Garage Door Repair

    The torsion spring winding today I ordered from Amazon arrived today so I got to work removing the old broken spring in order to measure so I could order the new one.
