Went back out after factor.

Total for the day:

18.1 miles in 3:40!

Feeling pretty good at the moment... My shins are a tiny sore, but not bad. I am definitely getting better at the cardio thoracic portion of the run. I still have troubles with that in the beginning, but I tend to get over it after about 15-20 minutes.

11/9/14

I decided I really shouldn't run 3.5 hours without factor, so I had Jeff come pick me up. Stuck myself 3 times with no luck and absolutely ZERO return. Realized I was so chilled from running in the rain, that I needed to take a hot shower to warm up my body and veins. It did the trick... Got it on the 4th stick. And now I have completely fresh running clothes for the 2nd half of today's run. 

11/9/14

I am an hour into my 3.5 hour run and realized... I forgot to factor... 

11/7/14

Rough week... I finally got back out there and brought Ace with me. He was happy to go, but I think he wasn't prepared for 4.47 miles. 

10/25/14

Had a great time on a leisurely ride! About 5 miles. All but 3 of us were on beach cruisers. We 3 roadies looked out of place, but no one made us feel out of place. What a great group of people!

Thanks to Longdoggers and Villon for starting this fun new event!

This morning, the weather was perfect to take Alex with me on my run. Actually cool enough that he wore pants and sleeves. When we got home, I decided to see exactly how much weight I was pushing. 

The stroller weighed in at 42 pounds... 

Alex weighed in at 45 pounds... 

TOTAL 87 pounds I was pushing with & against 11 MPH winds today.

4.14 miles in 52:10 minutes (4/1).

Had a great time pushing my little pirate in his pirate ship!

Oct. 14, 2014

Today, I went 2.77 miles in 35:58 around my neighborhood.  The first 2 miles I brought Ace with me.  He's doing very well at running with me.  I had planned on doing another 2 miles with Tripp, but that didn't go well at all... :)  He's just not a runner... of the organized sort.  :)

Oct. 13, 2014

Did 65 minutes at the gym of 4/1 ratio run/walk.  I am having troubles keeping up with my schedule, but doing my best to make up for the times I have missed.

Sept. 27, 2014 GFG Day 2

Today started off a little chilly.  Didn't stop me from finding my shadow and taking a shadow selfie!

Sept. 26, 2014 Gears for Good

I am in DC about to begin the Gears for Good bike ride to help raise money for HFA's Helping Hands program.
Last night, I realized I forgot my contact solution. Had to stop and get some on the way back to hotel from dinner.
This morning... Even worse... Getting ready for my prophy dose, I can't find my tourniquet!! Even though I am surrounded by a great group of people, of which someone probably has one, but it is so early, I don't want to disturb them. I improvised by using my compression sleeves and rolled them up to create a make-shift... It worked... Got it on the first shot!!!

Oct. 4, 2014

Today I tried out my new toe socks. I have heard these help prevent blisters when it comes to a lot of miles. Need to test them out a few times before I make any decisions.

I did 16 minutes of warm up with Ace. Dropped him off at home and proceeded to do 1 hour of run/walk in a 4/1 ratio. I finished off with a 23 minute cool down. 

TOTAL: 7.53 miles in 1:39:19.

Sept. 5, 2014

I haven't posted in quite some time... just felt like everything else was taking priority... I have still been running and swimming (mostly at the gym), but just not keeping track on FB. So... to make up for lost time, this is what I have done with my GPS watch while "pounding the pavement":
Aug. 23: 2.38 miles in 27:19
Aug. 24: 4.84 miles in 1:01:54
Aug. 28: 3.15 miles in 34:13

June 15, 2014

 

Ran 3.65 miles this morning in 44:52 with the dog. I finally downloaded a training plan last week, and doing my best to stick to it, even though it is in the "pre-training" stage. For example, today I was supposed to run for 15 minutes. I did a little extra, as I am not starting "off the couch".

 

Rode 11 miles in 1:06, pulling my 80 pounds of Alex and carriage. Very hot out now! I thought I was sweating during the run... Ha ha...
