    LOL!

    Did a 9miler with one of the guys. My time was 1:32:07, his was 1:27:44, but he vegetated the night before, whereas I was busting my ass doing hill training. My last 1/2 mile was pure cool off, and dang it, I earned it!

    Oh pace was 10:15 or so for me...

    Nice!
    I need to start running longer distances. Farthest I usually run is 6 Miles.

    Had to do it the days after race days for HS. Usually finished right at 42 minutes.

    St. Patrick's Day 5K. It was really a 3.13 miler, but I scorched it the race and PR by 31 seconds!


    Time as 25:19, good enough for 8:05 splits!!! Oh drank so much beer afterwards... :D


    Happy St. Paddy's Day!

    I missed the trail run, but ran 4.5 in 45:42 by the river.


    Man, I'm still sore!

    i would love to get up to a 6 mile run in my vibrams! certainly looking forward to the day that happens. i probably need to go run more if i really want to get to that lol.

    i really have no idea how that happened. i HATED running, then i got some minimalist shoes (vibrams) and for some reason unknown to me, i actually enjoy it now. It just feels like im working to something, and i can really see results. instead of just pounding my foot into the ground for no reason.

    ^ I'll be buying Vibrams sometime this summer. I'm already running with "low padding/sole" running shoes.


    The past two day the weather has been ABYSMAL here in Cow Town. Rain, rain and more rain.

    Today was my first run since Sunday, ran for 7 miles SLOW in 1:11:19, which is good for 10:05 splits.


    I'll be doing a "quick" 6 miler tomorrow.

    Same 7 miles, this time in 1:07:17, good for 9:36 splits. My older than dirt sister challenged me about getting old.

    Darn thing is after I was done, I was so fresh I could've shaved another 3-4 mins... :mad:

    Which shoes are you in these days?

    The lack of padding combined with the "zero drop" thing really works and elongates the calves. If you're using a near zero drop shoe now then the switch to Vibrams will be a whole lot easier than if you were in a more standard, cushioned shoe.

    I got a pair of Reebok minimalist pairs, right after the races I did in Tampa. I already have a 5K on one of them. They are LIGHT!

    1) YOURFLEX RUN

    2) FUEL EXTREME


    I like Reebok's because they are cheap, I can get over 700 miles on them and I never have to "break them in". Always get them at the Reebok Outlet, so two pairs go for less than $120 tax included.

    That's great bang for the buck, especially for the miles you get out of them!

    x2. i naturally have pretty dam big, defined calves, so much so that when i wear shorts i get comments on them every so often, and even a mile and a half had the muscles from my achilles to the bottom of my calf sore for a solid day and a half. it was REALLY tight the next day after the run.

    Good run, but not a great run. Attempted to run with the faster group earlier today. Out of 9 miles I was able to stay with them for almost 2...


    Oh well, the training route was VERY different, as it was very hilly. I'm a Floridian, and I still struggle with hills. 9 miles in 1:26:17, good enough for 9:36 splits.


    Maybe I should've taken it easier on Thursday...

    And today wasn't any better...


    6 miles, 1:06:23 I believe that I have hit the point of over training. I'll most likely take tomorrow off from trail running and Wed off for hill training. I should be able to jumpstart on Thursday.

    My legs are SO tired, I didn't even do calisthenics this morning.

    In the Army we used to call TMF or "Total Muscular Failure". See how my splits since Saturday were getting slower? No matter how hard I tried, that was the best I could do, and it was fairly painful, and REALLY frustrating.


    Think of start doing push ups, day you can do 50 no problem. Well try doing 150 w/o stopping, and at some point (long before 150), you too will experience TMF.

    That's what it feels like.

    The rest came in quite handy. 6 miles in 1:03:00, but it wasn't my fault we were going so slow. My running partner, Catherine was having knee problems.

    Doing 12-14 miles on Saturday morning. Should be fun...
