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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
