I really need to update my blog more often…1 mile in 9:05

Tuesday, April 29, 2008

This is my first week of real trap so I needed to get there early. I left work a bit early and went out running…1 mile in 8:27

Monday, April 28, 2008

Don’t remember why I’m running so late but I was. Just did the usual loop…1.01 miles in 8:33

Sunday, April 27, 2008

My wife was going out to do a long run since the weather was less than perfect the day before. She managed to put in 12 miles!! By far her longest run…she’s definitely ready for a half marathon!!

I just put in an easy 2.01 miles in 17:48

Got to running early and ran a bit extra with the ladies this morning. We met up with the rest of the group at 7 am and did about 5 more miles. The wind was really whipping and was not the best day to be outside but I ended the day with 10.37 miles in 1:40:21 or 9:40 pace.

Friday, April 25, 2008

With today being my birthday my wife mentioned that I might want to run in the morning since we were going out to dinner that night. Got up and ran 1.01 miles in 9:10

Thursday, April 24, 2008

Simply did the loop…1.01 miles in 8:45

Wednesday, April 23, 2008

With the wife working out with her trainer I thought that I had better put in a few extra miles…I was delayed when my stepfather dropped by with his Harley…I ended up running 2.03 miles in 17:26

Tuesday, April 22, 2008

I was unable to run between work and trap shooting but thought that since I was coming home early…none of the guys showed up to trap…I would run my mile with my wife. We did pretty well…1.01 miles in 8:23.

Monday, April 21, 2008

I was feeling pretty good and decided that I’d run a bit farther and try to put in a little fartlek…3.51 miles in 31:37 for a 9:00 pace!

Sunday, April 20, 2008

After a long day on the road I decided that I only wanted to do the loop and let my wife go for a longer run…she put in 4.6…I only did 1 mile in 8:39

Weekly Totals

4/13 – 4/19 total miles = 18.69 miles average pace of 9:23

We ran in a very nice park yesterday and thought that it would be a great idea to go back to it and run today. I thought that I’d run farther today but I just couldn’t managed to do it. 1.55 miles in 13:59

Friday, April 18, 2008

Since my wife and I are in St Louis and we have a family event on Saturday we decided that it would be best to do the long run today. The weather was decent…50’s and a bit rainy but the wind was pretty bad. We did a pretty good job. I managed to put in 10.00 miles at a 9:58 pace.

Thursday, April 17, 2008

Since we knew that we would be driving most of the night and the chances of us getting a run in once we get to the hotel are slim we got up early and hit the neighborhood loop. I still think my wife's gps is wrong...we did just over 1 mile at an 8:27 pace...she thinks we did it in an 8:11 pace.

Wednesday, April 16, 2008

I ran around the neighborhood just to keep moving...1 mile in 8:05

Tuesday, April 15, 2008

With the nice weather my wife decided to forgo going to the gym and came home to run with me after work. 1 mile in 8:44

Monday, April 14, 2008

Knew the wife wasn’t going to be right home after work and with the weather in the upper 40’s I thought it would be nice to do a little longer run. The total time I was gone was much greater than my run time since I got stopped by a train and had to wait a really long time (5 minutes) and finally just turned around and ran the other direction! 3.10 miles in 27:05

Sunday, April 13, 2008

I was just lazy today…not really but after a day of running around (brunch and museum) and a really good nap I felt lazy and ended up not running until much later than I should have. But I did well none the less…1.00 mile in 8:56

Weekly Totals

4/6 – 4/12 total miles = 25.54 miles average pace of 10:11
Apr total miles = 36.88 miles pace of 9:55
2008 total miles = 332.28 miles average pace of 10:06

Saturday, April 12, 2008

Up early so that I could do 20…rainy (which I like) but only about 40 (which I am not such a big fan of!!) Met the girls and they kept me at a great pace for the first 7 miles then they all needed the restroom. I continued on and found my self stepping in more puddles than I ever intended!

The rain kept a large group from the run this week so we ended the day at Caribou Coffee.

I got in 18.08 miles in 3:13:42 not bad considering I ran a marathon 2 weeks ago and the conditions were less than ideal this morning!

Friday, April 11, 2008

Back home…so happy to be here! Ran around the neighborhood…it seems so small compared to running on a big busy highway in Calhoun! 1.00 mile in 8:38

Thursday, April 10, 2008

Always trying something new and this time I just had a funky mileage to place in my blog…1.16 miles in 10:43

Wednesday, April 9, 2008

After a really good dinner in Cartersville I still needed to run but I did not want to. Talked to my wife for a while but the reality of time started to sink in…it was getting late and I needed to run. I managed to put down 1.01 miles in 9:11.

Tuesday, April 8, 2008

A good day of work and a nice leisurely run…1.02 miles in 9:12

Monday, April 7, 2008

Back in the state of Georgia and back to work…another long day but the run has to get done…the park down the road has a .35 mile loop around the pond…why didn’t I see this earlier in my stay here!! 2.25 miles in 20:48

Sunday, April 6, 2008

Another midday run…that I really did not want to do going out the door but was feeling good on the run so 1.01 miles in 7:57…now that is pretty fast for me!!

Up early and was going to try to do 11-12 but it just was not happening today since I had a meeting in Walworth county at 9:00 a.m. Enjoyed running this morning to work out some of the kinks and managed to put in 7.30 miles in 1:08:27…not too fast but defiantly not slow either!!

Friday, April 4, 2008

Flew back this afternoon…lots of delays but I finally got here. Nice evening run back home with less than ideal weather. 1.00 mile in 9:01

Thursday, April 3, 2008

How I managed to actually get up early and go out running is a miracle by itself but I thought that we might be having a late night tonight so I knew that it needed to be done. Easy 1.01 miles in 9:20.

Wednesday, April 2, 2008

It is such a nice day here in Georgia that I decided to go for a run. I managed to get in 1.01 miles at a 9:14 pace.

Tuesday, April 01, 2008

Got up this morning a little early and decided that I should really put my run in since there looks to be a storm front moving in and I might get rained on this evening. 1.01 miles in 9:30 pace.
