Saturday Half Run

Still being alittle sore im feeling alittle bit better.  But theres still pain.  I Do hope that i can get through it on Sunday's trail run.  For the week it brought my total to 25 miles.  Hopefully i can get higher as i get healther this week and next.  My next big run is the preview run on Saturday this week! Hope to have some fun.

Friday Workout

Well it wasnt bad, still had some soreness in my right inner thigh.  And im not feeling like i need to throw up any longer at the moment.  Hopefully its passed completely.  So I did about 3 miles yesterday.  Didnt want to put too much stress on my inner thigh and thats what im doing Saturday.  Just 3 miles and hope that i can do something with it on Sunday when i do trail running with Amy.  That should be about 8 miles in the woods. 

Not Exactly to Plan

Today is Thursday and yesterday was the hardest day i had to run for this past week.  I did not run on Wednesday with some soreness that creeped up on me.  So far this week ive run 8.5 on Sunday, 9 on Monday, Tuesday zero, and Wednesday 3.....not a walk in the park to say the least.  I am also bothered by some soreness on my rump which is always odd with the combo of both the feelings i had i am going to try to power on through with this struggle and pop out 8 miles tonight and hopefully take a much needed break on Friday with Saturday doing a short run before i do my 13 miles on Sunday with Amy.

Blash from the Past Series

This Series that I am proclaiming as Blash from the Past is about my past struggles from earlier this year from the start of my first race to my latest so that you will have plenty to read up on.  This first post is about The Race For the Land 8K.  My first race, was something I had mixed feelings about.  It was all trail and basically in the backyard of where I live.  The day started out very good.  Had a banana and something to drink a hour before the race.  Then I started and it was nothing like I expected.  In some cases I ended up running the half marathon for the race.  Only to find myself finishing two minutes later than my wife.  When I was done with that race.  My stomach and heart hurt from the effort I put into it.  I was sweating like I had just taken a shower in the sun.  The feeling of finishing though crossing the line just drove me to want more and made me addicted to racing.  No matter if I may never come in the top ten in the race.  It was remarkable to me how i felt.  I felt strong and ready for another.  Never felt like that before and i would image it was probably the feeling of finishing that took me aback alittle.  This race is going to be the one that will always stick in my mind no matter what im thinking or doing when it comes to running and training.  It is a blueprint that I follow and strive to be better now. 

Tuesday Run is not fun.

Today is a new day and a new series of soreness running through my body like I havent felt sense March when my body adapted to running.  So far this week i have ran about 18 miles in two days.  Today will put me just over 20 miles for the week.  I hope to be around 50 by weeks end.  Fingers crossed with the way im feeling.  Today isnt a good day with the way I am feeling.  Although I know it will be worth it in the end result when i get up around 10 miles during my half marathon.  And realize I only have 3 more miles to go.  This journey to me is epic above any video game that I have ever played. 

Monday Workout...uhhhhhh

Today's running will include Poston Park.  The place i'll be spending the rest of the week running in.  Today I have plan to run for 8 miles and a half.  Should be alot of fun.  Reaching this level of running takes alot of time.  And effort along with alittle human drive that most if not all humans in our society should have.  Anyway, it is always pretty peaceful at the Poston.  It should be a good day to run with the way the sky looks this morning.  Im looking forward to it.  The pace set for the 8 miles im running today should be 8 minutes a mile which if you even care is already a steep show.  Starting out you should atleast beable to do 12 minutes a mile.  Good luck to all who run today!  Well I thought i was going to be doing 8 miles tonight but i decided to make it 9 miles.  Freaking sore and hurting.  I just always keep in mind that Pain is Weakness leaving the body.
