114 Days to Go :)

Great day, five miles about a 9:00 pace, a very warm 66. Strong wind from the South 10-20 mph, not much fun running into it but when it was at my back, well you guessed it, it felt great!  I ran out past Glenkirk then back and round the loop. As for the injury, it gets better by the day.

Three miles on the treadmill today! 8:00 pace, felt good.

117 Days to Go ;]

First long run in weeks, actually since the Army Ten-miler in October.
8.8 miles at a pace of about 9:20, this was a little slower than I was hoping for but that's OK. The weather was clear and cool somewhere around 45 degrees.
It felt great to get out and run for a reasonable distance. I had minimal pain in my leg for which I am truly grateful. I can hardly wait to get back to a point where 10 miles at a 9:00 pace is fairly easy.

Treadmill running today, just three miles, pace 8:20. Ran on the treadmill for the extra cushioning that it offers, I may do this on my shorter runs for a week or two just to allow further recovery of my injury.

Virginia Run Turkey Trot

Felt like a great race! Virtually no trouble from the bad leg. Cold and damp morning. Finished in 23:29 a 7:34 pace. Where did that place me? Just inside the top 25%, very happy with that.

Lots of church volunteers at the finish, it was wonderful to see so many CPC folks passing out water, bananas, apples and bagels.

122 Days to Go ;)

Three good miles today. Ran on the treadmill averaging 8:15 pace. Felt great, hardly noticed the twinge in my right hip! I think I may use the treadmill for a week or two as it provides more cushioning than the road and hopefully will cause less strain on the leg.

123 Days to Go

No running today. Hip hurts after yesterdays run, I wish this thing would heal up.

124 Days To Go :p

5 miles today... 43 degrees, winds blowing 5-10. Didn't track pace today, I have no idea how long it took me. I felt really cold today as I ran, also ran with a cold. Left calf tightened a little, hip felt OK , not great but OK.
This is the first week of "official" training.

125 Days To Go ;)

Sort of X-Training

Walk for the Homeless in DC. A three mile stroll round the tidal basin.
