Small run

Today was my first run since Saturday’s 20-miler and since I’ve been sick, it was not the best run ever, but I did run 3 miles with an average pace of 10:28, not bad, not great.
I’m keeping my Dr.’s appointment I have this afternoon, my stomach is still not right, I still feel nauseated and [...]

Home and Sick

Home for 2 weeks and I’ve been sick since Sunday morning. UGH.  Just figures, not sure what I have or had, but I’ve been in bed or on the couch until this morning.  Nauseated, Headache, Fever and Joint pain, especially my ankles and back, weird.  the worse day was Sunday, yesterday was a tad better [...]

20 miler was a wet one

What a day for a 20 mile run.  Yesterday was Tammy’s first 20 mile run in preparation for the Little Rock Marathon on March 15, we’ve been doing the long runs every Saturday since the first of September and I don’t know how we’ve missed being rained on, but Mother Nature made up for it [...]

Dreadmill and getting pudgy

It was a long day yesterday getting to Columbia, I arrived around 2:30pm, I stopped and picked up a grilled cheese and bowl of vegetable soup for lunch, I was not feeling hungry earlier my head doctor (migraines) put me on a new medication for my “blue” episodes and it made me nauseated.  I was [...]

New Shoes, I have NEW SHOES

You may be wondering why I’m so excited about new shoes, but my feet are happy, happy feet since I purchased new running shoes yesterday.  I was only about 150 miles over on my old pair of Mizuno Wave Nirvana 4’s, I just couldn’t find them out of town and then I went to Easy [...]

Got my runs in, now where’s my Starbucks?

I’m in Columbia, SC, did they forget to put Starbucks here?  Seriously it’s Thursday and today I saw my first Starbuck’s, but it was lunchtime and I was starving so I didn’t get my fix.  All week long I’ve been looking for Starbuck’s, nada, weird when I’ve gotten used to seeing them all over the [...]

River Trail 18 miler

Oh my what a day yesterday was….Tammy had 18 miles on her schedule and of course I needed a run, a friend, some exercise and some fresh air, not necessarily in that order.  Tammy was at my house around 5:20 and we were pretty much out the door by 5:30 after we decided to throw [...]

Nothing and lots of it

This week is a big bag of nothing but work, I’m sick to death of it.  Tried the treadmill yesterday and only got about 3 miles, it was just not a good day, for one I was still sore from my long weekend run and for another the fitness room was packed, when I was [...]

Fly, Run, Run, Pack, Fly

That’s all that’s on my mind these days, when do I have to fly, pack and run?  Flew home Friday afternoon, almost ended up missing my connection in Cincinnati, OMG, I would have been a basket case, it was the last flight to Little Rock, it was all due to a plane being de-iced, but [...]
