Twelve On A Tuesday
It was another tough day, but today was the final peak as the taper for #RiverBankRun begins. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun
Mind Over Matter on a Monday
This morning was one of those where I had to make the choice of whether I was going to actually get out and run or go back to bed. I was pretty sore after spending most of the weekend building a shed. I managed to get out there and knock out a 10K. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun
Knocking Out The Miles Before The Hope Water Team Gathering
Got my training run in before the #HWI Group Run kickoff started. Love hanging out with the team. #Run4Water #WhyIRun #RiverBankRun
I Told My Wife I Was Just Going For A Short Run
So my distance terminology might just be a little wacky. When I told my wife that I was just going for a short run tonight she asked if I was running to the end of the street, which of course I responded with no I was just running 5 miles. She laughed. The other day on a work call I mentioned only running between 6-9 miles in the mornings, which got some puzzling responses as well. Having tackled 3 marathons, and putting in hundreds of training miles, I can say that I’m officially a long distance runner. Today was a little bit of an off day since I ran in the evening. I’ve been managing a cold all week and not letting myself get enough…
Taking On The Wet And Windy Tuesday Run
It was a kind of interesting morning, weather wise. There was some big thunder before 4am but when I got outside for my morning run there wasn’t much for rain, just some sprinkles and mist off-and-on. The wind came and went as well. The crazy thing once again is to see my pace improve of the course of my run. Instead of what one would normally see, where your pace might get slower over the course of a run, for me my pace got better the longer I ran. It was a good morning for a run all around. Only a few more weeks until the #RiverBank and I think I’m feeling good about my training so far. #HWI #WhyIRun #Run4Water
Monday Morning Recovery Run
What started out being a pretty easy going run turned out to be much faster than I had expected. I was checking my heart rate the whole time and only once did it rise just a hair past 150. My pace just ended up being what it was based on how I ended up doing with my heart rate. What’s encouraging to me is to see what appears to be my heart health getting better. I feel God has definitely blessed me through my running. Honestly, one of the big helpers with my runs is listening to a worship workout album. There are moments when I am so focused on the song that I forget about the running. I did take some time this morning…
