Here is a photo for the sake of a photo. I make no promises of quality. It is from today, though, and right around the time I went running. Continue reading “8/1/18”

Photo is from last week. Since I’ve been running in the morning, I haven’t been bringing my phone along so I have no new photos. It’s actually cool enough that all I need is one of my handheld water bottles. Therefore, no storage capability for a phone like I’d have with my pack.
This morning was tough. My stomach has been all bubbly for a while now and it was making crazy noises while I was running today. It sounded like there was one of those red playground balls bouncing around in my gut. I think it’s this new schedule. It takes time.
Also, leg did not feel better at all. It felt worse. I’m going to finish out Wednesday’s and Thursday’s runs and then see how I feel.
Loooong day at work.
12 miles, 12:50 pace.

This morning, I ran before work. It was dark, quiet, and relaxing. And it made the rest of my day a shade better. However, my left quad is still a bit funky. Not funky enough to worry about, though.
I’m going to run before work again tomorrow.
10 miles, 10:35 pace.

Ugh. Agony. My stomach has felt weird the last couple days but I had to run today. Almost threw up once. I walked a lot.
I haven’t sat down and written a full length post in weeks and I miss doing so. So that’s definitely on my list.
16 miles, 15 minute pace.

I walked about 10 miles at work today and then ran 12 miles afterwards. I am tired.
While I was running, sunblock-laced sweat started leaking into my eyes. It burned so badly. Closing my eyes was the only thing I could figure out that made it better. So I started running with my eyes closed for 10 seconds at a time. One time, the last time, I veered right and off the trail. I fell down but it wasn’t too bad. Just a little road rash on my left hand. That’s probably the last time I try to run without eyesight.
12 miles, 10:35 pace.

Can’t find the signature on this one so I don’t know whose it is. Tight though.
I usually don’t run on Monday but it made sense to do so today. We’re getting some big storms here so it’s a little cooler with all the wind and cloud cover. Pretty nice run. Had fun. Left quad still a little funky but it goes away when I run or walk. I only really feel it upon standing after sitting a while.
10 miles, 10:15 pace.

I’m running when I can right now.
The Pinellas Trail Challenge is a little over a month away. I’d like to get in a 50 mile weekend before then. If I’m able to do that I should be just fine.
Hopefully, I’ll be busy with work soon.
13.5 miles, 11:50 pace.

Creepy handprint.
2 more days of training in Sarasota. Then, more training. For work, not running. So tired. But getting it done. Saw some old friends tonight.
10 miles, 10:30 pace.

I think I’m ready for the weekend.
Today, though:
6 miles, 9 minute pace.
Nice and easy. Got rained on and it felt great. Heart rate was low and steady.

Every day, the clouds look like this.
I didn’t run on Sunday so there was no entry that day. I didn’t try to make it up yesterday because it doesn’t work that way really. It’s not a big deal. An extra day of rest was probably just as good for me.
I’m still in training for work so my schedule is in flux. Just trying to be normal.
12 miles, 11:50 pace.
