A quick hitter I forgot to post yesterday. Got it in just before having to pick up my daughter from practice. With only one obligation-free evening throughout the week, I really need to start knocking out some AM runs. On to the weekend!
Until next timeā¦
First run since Tuesday of last week. By far the best Iāve felt since getting back to it. After cruising the first mile, I was feeling bouncy, so I wanted to see what pace I could sustain over the remaining distance. Better than expected. Iāll definitely take it.
Until the next oneā¦.
A redo of the failed 5k from the weekend for this evening. Nice, chill pace and each day is starting to feel more comfortable. The weather was perfect, so that also may have contributed to that ease.
Three runs in seven days though. I think Iām free and clear!
Until the next oneā¦
With my phone on the brink of death earlier, I thought Iād be able to squeeze in my 5k before it croaked. As yāall can see, that wasnāt the case. It did track most of it though. I was holding pretty good at around 9 min pace for the run, and most importantly, with no pain. Trending in the right direction!
Until the next oneā¦
Not much going on with this one. Just something slight from last night. Going to shoot for a 2nd run for the week on Saturday to see how the body holds up. No ill effects from the first two runs. Going for 5k, but definitely going to keep it easy.
Until thenā¦
I am now a firm believer in ālisten to your body.ā Since as far back as I can remember, I have been a āmind over matterā type of person and I tried to proceed as such. As a result, my body, particularly my lower back, finally made me sit down. By far, the most debilitating pain Iāve felt in my life.
The craziest thing is during my last gym workout, as I was stretching, I felt what was the beginning of it and ignored it. The next morning, I couldnāt bear to climb out of bed. Over a month of doing absolutely nothing, but what the doctor ordered, I can resume physical activity.
As painful as it was, the experience was necessary. When the body is telling you to chill, you chill.
A drizzly 2.5 miles to prevent another run drought. This one felt better than the last, so I think Iām trending in the right direction.
I reflected on this time last winter when was halfway through mailing it in for the late fall/winter months while perfectly healthy. This year has been more active for me despite haggling with nagging pain. I owe a large part of that to the community on here. Thank yāall!!
Until next timeā¦
An easy Christmas Eve 5k to try and get back into a groove. Itās been a month since Iāve last run. Iāve been dealing with a nagging issue for a little over two weeks, but felt good enough to give a try today. Still a little tight, but manageable. The tell all will be how it feels in the AM.
Other than that, Iāve been finding other low-impact activities to stay somewhat active. Nothing gets the juices flowing like a run though.
Until the next oneā¦
Some sights and sounds from yesterdayās hike at Stone Mountain, NC.
First time out there, so I opted for the namesake loop trail that took me by the fall and up to the summit. A nice day to get in a few and take in a view!
Until next timeā¦
Got out for a 5k before hitting the road for game day. I made an attempt to increase the pace each increment, but the last hill at the end of mile 3 took a lot out of me. I didnāt have a band in the car to pull the hair back, so maybe it was the added dragš Felt good to push a little without having any nagging pains. That makes two in a row.
Until the next oneā¦
Only the second run of the month and the rain made sure to be there for me. I initially was going out for 2 quick miles with the t-storms in the forecast for the next couple hours. It was only a little drizzly during the first mile, so I chanced it for 3. It only got worse until the last quarter mile when it returned to a drizzle. I guess to allow me to take a couple pics before the next downpour.
At least it wasnāt a cold rain.
Until next timeā¦
Quick Sunday morning 5k trot. A sunny 55 degrees made for a good run. Most importantly, no calf tightness. I think Iām in the clear. Upward and onward.
OAN: Today marks the pseudo-start (First open scrimmage) of my oldest daughterās sophomore seasonšShe had some growing pains her freshman year on the court, so to hear the excitement and the confidence in her voice during our conversations has me anxious to hit the road to see whatās in store.
Til the next oneā¦
68 degrees with an overcast was calling my name this evening. Got out there for a smooth 5 miles. I tried to take it easy, but I couldnāt resist picking up the pace throughout the run. A feel good effort despite some minor calf tightness!
Until the next oneā¦
Got 4 miles in after what felt like a never-ending day at work. I Gave it an honest effort for a much needed release.
OAN: I think itās time to find a race. Itās been a little while.
Now that fall ball coaching duties have come to a close, my evenings are free to run again. Here is last nights effort. Another 5k to keep things flowing and it felt pretty good. The focus is to get back to 3-4 runs/week. I gotta get it done.
Until the next oneā¦
I guess we can call it a hiatus. First run in 12 days. Maybe the longest break Iāve taken this year. A cool 50ish degree night to embrace the return, so it wasnāt too taxing. Felt good to get back out here.
Until the next oneā¦
10 miles for this Saturday AM long run. I knew it had been a minute since Iāve ran double digits, so I had to look. First time since June 2017š¬ I knew it had been a while, but definitely wasnāt thinking seven years.
As for the run, it was a pretty relaxing pace up til mile 9. After that point it was more mind over matter. Always feel good to push through to accomplish what you set out to do.
Until the next oneā¦
