Run 138/Week 35 Recap

Good to get a long run in, again. The new shorts and tank are great, but they did not prevent me from getting really sweaty! Still very humid. Feel really good, though, aside from just the heat. Got some water and then felt great!

A good week capped off by a good, long run. By this time, I should have run approximately 784 miles. I have, instead, run 953. Pretty cool!

Just a good run. I ran in the morning to escape some of the heat, but, ultimately, I still came back looking like I just got out of the shower.

Run 136

An early morning run. Still super humid, though, as we're in a heat wave right now. I didn't push myself too hard in the heat, but still got a decent time. I'll be ready for it to cool down.

Uff da. That was a hot run. Well, more humid than anything. I'm really glad we went out at 8:30 instead of waiting any longer. I got some new shorts and a new tank, so I wore those and I think they'll help a lot. I got them just at the right time, because the tank is an Under Armor "heatgear" tank, so it got a true workout today.

Run 134/Week 34 Recap

I did the 10k today. It was fun, but I didn't quite get my goal. I was hoping for under 42 minutes, but a good headwind on the front half and just not knowing the course too well anyway. It was in my hometown so it was familiar enough, but I didn't now the distances between landmarks very well anymore. I ran with my mom, brother, and his girlfriend. It was good to see them running. My mom, especially, really has been working hard on getting a half-marathon in October and this was her furthest run so far! My brother and his girlfriend did the 5k and I hope it was encouragement for them to run/exercise more.

I know I ran yesterday, but I wanted to not run on Friday, so I decided to do back-to-back pretty close together. Not my fastest, but it will help me on Saturday to have Friday off.

Run 132

A later night run. I tried to really push it, in preparation of the 10k this weekend. My legs feel good, but there were a lot of bugs and I had to slow down to try to get some out of my eyes and mouth. Annoying but that's okay. I'll run tomorrow during lunch, take Friday off, and do the race on Saturday.

I have a 10k on Saturday, which will be fun. I ran today with my daughter. A little chilly and I had to stop several times for traffic and things dropping out of the stroller (like tiny, pink shoes).

Run 130/Week 33 Recap

I am "bacheloring" it this weekend, so I decided it would be nice to go for a long run before tackling some projects today. I ran around Clear Lake, which was a lot of fun. I'd only ridden bike around the lake once last year, so I was sorta making up the route, but I got back to my car, so I'll count it as a victory. It was good to get out and do a long run again. I've learned a lot about distance running since my marathon, and this was the furthest I've gone since the marathon, so it was nice to get out again.

I feel like I'm getting back to my pre-marathon pacing and strength. I have enjoyed get back to that point. It has taken me a little longer than I thought to recover from the marathon. I suppose I should have known, but I assumed it would only take maybe a week or 2. Not 4. Oh well. Now I know.

Run 129

A little longer run than I planned today, because my daughter fell asleep pretty quickly, so I decided to do another lap so she could sleep longer. Running in my minimalist shoes really has helped my form again, as I took about a month off from them. I feel it in my calves when I run, but that just means they're getting stronger.

This was a run with a friend from work. An easy 6 for me, but it was pretty fast for him, so I'm happy we could run together. It was what we both needed!

Run 127

Was good to get back to my normal route. I like exploring and stuff, there's a good little comfort from knowing a trail or road so well that it allows you to do some inward exploration, instead of all outward. I went in my Minimus, which I haven't done in probably close to a month, so that felt good, too. Although it definitely uses my calves more than my Nike Frees do. Now, I'm starting to prepare for another marathon, this time it's in Mason City, so I should be able to cut some good time off my pace. Or, at least, I hope so.

Okay. Here are my numbers overall. I'm doing them as if this was one week's recap.

Ran - 43.2
YTD miles - 864.3

Here is my calorie and time count as of this posting:

Runs 119-126

So, here's the deal. I was working and then on vacation for 2 weeks straight, so I haven't been able to update. I have, however, been running, so I'm just going to post my workout tables here and do a short recap.

These runs were done in Pensacola, FL, where hills, mosquitos, and humidity come in large quantities. The 2nd was done with a partner and the rest were solo.
