Details of today’s 6 mile run HERE! Oh yeah, that’s not a typ-o SIX FREAKIN’ MILES, BABY!!
I don’t have much time to post right now. I also updated the Boot Camp stats and pics page. Only 2 lbs. But this was a hard 10 days with lots of setbacks and obstacles and anything that wasn’t [...]

Details of yet another non-run day found HERE
I think Brseay has the right idea. I need to vary up my calories from day to day. In the spirit of that, I had pretzel bites at the movies last night… with nacho cheese (but no butter on them. Since they make them fresh when you ask [...]

I feel MUCH better this morning. A hint of a sniffle and my throat isn’t 100% but I feel lightyears better than yesterday. LIGHTYEARS!
Today is my last rest day. Tomorrow I run. Well, a light jog anyway. I’ve got to rework my schedule. I need to get back to exercising regularly. I miss it. And [...]

I figured out the problem last night. I’m sick. I am coming down with a cold. Raw, sore throat, blocked sinuses, nagging headache, body aches… ugh. No wonder I feels so off!! I’ll be living off ColdEeze (I have a supply at work) I swear they are a miracle cough drop thingy - if I [...]

And that is exactly how I feel today. Except… I have no good reason why. I haven’t “cheated” on my diet. I haven’t thrown in the towel. I’ve had to take a couple of rest days off exercise to repair and heal (today was the first day of that) but that’s not a fail. It’s [...]

Details of the epic painfest that was today’s run can be read HERE.
Food is good. Let’s just put the positives right up front and center. Eating/diet/whatever you wanna call it - all on target. Excellent. I’ve had a couple of fast food visits between yesterday and today, but I’ve gotten the grilled (or “charbroiled”) chicken [...]

Details of today’s long run HERE.
I promise my body that I WILL eat fruits, veggies and healthy food today. It’s not too happy about yesterday’s fare. But to be honest, sometimes that day off is exactly what our body needs. If nothing else, to confirm that what we’re doing the rest of the time is [...]

Ok, so a day off was exactly what I needed. That pain in my calves is gone. Well, I haven’t gone on my run yet this morning, I’ll be heading out as soon as I finish this. But I’ve gotten up and walked around the house, turned my legs this way and that, even did [...]

I woke up this morning with major pain in my inner calves. I’ve been having this pain in mild form over the last couple of days, but didn’t think anything of it. It felt like a tightness, now it feels like more. So I did some googling and my lack of a true rest day [...]
