Just in the nick of time.

Saturday night, 8 o’clock is about as late as I want to go for a last minute run.
So much for getting more than two runs in this week. The good news is that between the two runs I put in almost three laps worth of a run.
and as I hoped, stepped it up one more [...]

Daylight savings time doesn’t give me any time.

Its Wednesday night and I am tired. My run tonight was a fun one. I started running with the intent to run around the church’s soccer field, but it turns out they have bleachers over there now and that makes it hard to run on the edge, especially in the dark.  Lucky for me though, [...]

Twas a friday after noon and all the house was quiet… because I was running

I ran one lap on Friday.. ( I am posting this on Saturday and back dating it so that it logs correctly)
- 1 lap – 15 minutes
- Running while on the cell phone is harder to do than I thought, but people didn’t say anything until told them I was running. I wish it wasn’t [...]

Around the block and nobody knows.

Short blog entry because I am tired and need sleep:

Stopped for 7 minutes to talk to a neighbor (at the top of the punisher)
I continued home for [...]

Sometimes the best workout, is good old fashioned labor.

This week only yielded one “workout” session where I got dressed up in fancy shorts, stretched my muscles, and pretended I was chasing someone. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t get my workout this week.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings were spent going up and down ladders, tearing off, and putting on new shingles.  What [...]

Monday and Friday are basically the only evenings this week that I have to get a good run in.
I got off to a good start took the easy direction (the hill at the start of the run) and got about a quarter mile and went past a friends house. Well he was outside and we [...]

Chopping wood really works out the arms and back.

I was not going to blog about the work that I did on the firewood yesterday, even though Mia told me too. When I woke up this morning, however, I was so sore that It prompted me to agree with her.
I had a pile of wood that I had to get split and put in [...]

Rain, Run and lungs that need more exercise.

My Thursday run was not meant to be this week. Mia asked me to stop for Pizza on my way home which made me get home just after dark which meant that my run would have been a High Point parking lot run; and lets face it I don’t have any way to measure that [...]

Delayed response – My Monday Run…

Well I did run on Monday. It was a very cold NY mountain morning at about 8 am.  We were just getting packed up at the “‘hootel” as Maura calls it.  I felt like a quick run was in order while Mia was in the shower and Maura was still sleeping.
The run seemed short, but [...]

I forgot how much I like to run.

1.5 miles in 16 minutes is not bad for the first time back. At least as far as I am concerned.
I made one lap around the “block” and I did it clock wise (i made the right out of my driveway) this route makes me run up hill right away, then down and along a [...]
