“long run” Sunday
Everyone I know, pretty much ran the new Marathon and half Marathon in Celebration Florida today. Seems people had a good time, at least from Facebook. I ran 5 miles out on the trusty West Orange Trail. I had not charged my Garmin, so I ended up having to run with Runtastic. It was a …
Wrap up and long run.
Today was my long run. 16 miles.. So I actually prepared for this one and got out there early enough. Sometimes though even the best of plans are foiled by whatever. I planted my water all over town and pulled into the trail head where I generally start at about 6:09. I did note there …
Marathon training Day 75. The worst Long run ever
I have to admit, this was not the worst long run ever. I’ve had worse 20 milers. This one was special though. I had to take a day off work this week to make up for my Sunday at work. So I took Friday. Whoo Hoo 3 day weekend. And I decided to knock the …
Marathon training day 63
Long run. 15 miles one hour spin, about 12.3 miles. So, I was feeling pretty good when I started out for the long run. I had some lingering tired feelings but, I think loads of us feel tired on the weekends. I maybe more than others, because I actually have to get up earlier on …
Marathon Training Day 49
Whew! Seventeen miles. I had a friend offer to run with me, which is a GIFT. SO I took him up on it, especially because I was relegated to the softer, mushy Clay Trail, rather than the West Orange Bike route. My bike riding aid delivering friend would not be able to do an assist …
Day 42, Marathon Training
Still feeling fatigue. but am feeling better than Friday. I woke up this morning and went to meet my friend from work. She suggested 7:30 am which was a really late time for me. In retrospect, I wonder if I am always so tired because I force myself out to run very early in …
Day 35 Rocking the Marathon Training
Today was the Pinnacle of a tough training week. I had a 16 mile Long run. No big deal right? Well…I have not run longer than 13 since I had Hip surgery, which was quite a while ago. So to me this was kind of a big deal. On top of it, my plan went …
Marathon Training Day 21.
Things seemed to get really real today. On the plan: run 13 easy and spin out 1.5 hours. I decided since it was “easy” to hit the clay road here in C-mont since time would not matter, plus I was feeling a little sore. I had tried to get a Bib for the Disney Princess …
Race Report 26.2 with Donna
Well, this was my long run, non-race event this past weekend. One of the nicest race experiences I’ve had. I was asked a few weeks ago by a friend if I would come up and support her first Marathon. Due to some unforseen events, her family was unable to make it up there. I admit, …
