Been Busy

Sucks I have posted in a bout a week or so... Well the distance run for last week was 3 miles and went great... had something like a 7:57 min/mile pace. :D. A lot of good energy. I didnt get to do a decent run on Monday due to the weather, but todays 35 min run went smoothly. Tomorrow is going to be a fun day... I have my 45 min run that I am going to do and then I will be leading a PT session directly after it. The distance run is going to be 9 miles this weekend. :D I have a decent plan for it and it should work since most of it is down hill and then flat.
Good luck in everyone's training. :D

This week has been a decent week. I started out on Monday having a 3 mi run, then Wednesday was a 4.25 mi run about 35 minutes, and then yesterday's run 42 or 43 minutes and it ended being just over 5 miles. This training is going really well. Tomorrow is my distance run but it is only 3 miles.

I have noticed that so many barefoot shoes have came into the world. Vibram has some, vivobarefoot, stem, and other companies have made "barefoot" shoes. I like the stem ones because they are just normal shoes. The vivobarefoot ones are nice too... but way expensive.


Happy running,

Week 2 of training is over

Today's 7 mi run ended week 2 of training. It was hard run. I should have started earlier than 7 am, by that time the sun was up and it was between 80-85 degrees with 90 ish percent humidity. I guess we all have to make training mistakes sometimes. Well... that wont happen again. Also, I will bring my water belt too... holding a water bottle is a pain in the ass. My diet needs to change the days before runs too... I cannot eat heavy and run these distances.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer training. :)

Did my 2 45 minute runs for the week and I have a 7 mi run on Saturday. My KSOs are holding up very well. I think they have a close to 150 miles.

I track my runs and everything through Trainingpeaks.com. It is a great little website that can help with keeping track of everything that deals with training.

Good running everybody,

week 1 down

Last week was the frist week of training, It went very well. I had a weird pain Friday morning, but I guess it was just some kind of muscle/tendon soreness. I was scared that it was PF but it did not turn out that way. :) Well on to week 2. Two 45 minute runs and end the week with a 7 mi run. :)

Run went well today. I did 5.25 mi in 45 min. It was on the bridge and down the beach. It was a cool 70 something degrees and had a nice wind. That always makes for a good run.

I have started a new marathon training plan. It is the Jeff Galloway 28 wk program for the Disney Marathon... which is a good thing seeing how I am already registered for it :P. 3 runs a week 2 of them are just timed and the third has a distance or speed work plan to it. I figured this would be a better plan than the condensed 18 week plan. :) Hope it all goes well.

Well it is another new week for training. I did over 12 miles last week. 7.5 on the bridge pictured earlier on other posts. This morning was hot and humid. 3 mi under 25 min down the 5k path on base.  There is rain foretasted for my next run on Wednesday, but I think it will be fun to run in the rain. :)
