Marking miles

Posted on July 23, 2018 by G

All right, I think I’m just going to accept that I’m going to be blogging several workouts at a time, and that’s okay. Now, since I last posted… Friday I worked at home and got a 3.75 mi run in. … Continue reading →

Fresh kicks

Posted on February 6, 2017 by G

I have sore quads today from the HIIT but it’s nearly 60ºF so I went out for a run anyway. How can I pass up a day like this at the beginning of February? I covered just about 2.5 miles … Continue reading →

Milestones and 4 miles of intervals

Posted on November 17, 2015 by G

This was the second-to-last hard workout of my training plan: 8x400m intervals. (Friday calls for 5 miles fast, which is a different kind of hard.) I finished in 48 minutes and fought with my shoes the whole time. I have … Continue reading →

New shoe drama

Posted on June 24, 2015 by G

First day of spring…ish

Posted on March 20, 2015 by G

Welcome, spring… oh wait it’s snowing. Never mind. I had been entertaining ideas of running today’s 5-miler outside, because 5 miles on the treadmill is a long, long time to run in place. But thanks to the snow and slush … Continue reading →

Intervals and new shoes

Posted on February 25, 2015 by G

6x400m intervals today. It’s funny; I enjoy the fast, hard workouts a lot more than the 3 mile "junk miles" placeholders. Today’s run was not spectacular and the fast parts weren’t even all that fast, but the intervals broke up … Continue reading →

A somewhat better run

I’m still pretty sore, but today’s run went better than I expected. I finished 3 miles on the treadmill in 38 minutes and felt pretty good, especially in a cardio sense. Theoretically I ought to be running another 3 miles … Continue reading →

How do runners wear heels…

Posted on December 2, 2014 by G

I’m not operating at 100% today. Heck, I’d be lucky to feel 45%. I’m sore from yesterday and feel like I’m coming down with a cold. But I made the questionable decision to go to the gym anyway and try … Continue reading →
