Woah...

It has been awhile since Ive updated. Im not doing too good right now at posting my runs. However, I have been running... probably not as much as I should, at least, I feel that way, but I have been running. Last week I did a couple of BP runs with Mike where we did pick-ups for 1/4 mile every lap. It was great. Yesterday I did 9 with mike with 7 pickups for the run. I was surprised at how good I felt during the whole ordeal. Its probably the longest Ive run in months! Mike is gearing up for Run Like Hell in Oct, I cant do that race b/c I will be in Missouri visiting my family. Im going to try to hook up with Mark Maus and run with him the morning of the college football game. Hopefully that works out. We will have to do 13.1 to mimick the 1/2 marathon I will be missing out on! Im trying to cycle train on off days, which I did this am for about an hour. Anyway...

been a while...

Its been a while since I last posted anything, there maybe some repeat info, but mostly new. I ran on Wed and Fri with mike. We did hills on Wed and I ran 6 with him on Fri, we did some speed pickups every lap, it was good. We finally got all moved in, and on Mon, Tues, and Thurs, I did cycling on the trainer. It was fun. Sorry for the weak post, it will get better, I promise. I am still settling into a new routine at our new house!

Moving Blues...

I havent run since Friday! We started moving from our Apt. on Thurs and it has been crazy busy since. Trying to re-organize is a pain. I have however, set up my trainer in the garage (thats right, I have a garage now) and have cycled in the am the past 2 mornings. I think that is going to be my non-running day thing I do to keep moving. It was hard getting up early today. We finished V for Vendetta last night and it didnt get over until after 11, so it was hard getting up at 5am, Ari got up at 4 and cried, so we both got up to try to calm him down. So I reset my alarm for 5:50 and woke up at 5:47. I was seriously thinking about hitting the old snooze button but thought better of it and hopped on the bike and listened to some UYD.

flipping the script

Wut Up!! I was supposed to do hills today with mike, ran to meet him, and he said he just wanted to do some recovery running. I was so down with that. We ran over 6 and it was good. We ran at a nice relaxed pace and had a nice chin wag (chat). Last week I ran a grand total of 6.18 miles. How embarassing! I totally shouldve ran more.

I feel like I get into this Give Up/Try Hard cycle with my running. I havent really given up, but I feel like that last week was sort of a rest week and I need to slowly ramp up so I dont burn myself out.

I have some plans to do just 1 lap at bush park, then do like a calisthenics routine, then do a cool down lap. I am gonna check www.runnersworld.com for some shiz to rock.

Cheers Everyone.

Lazy Much??

Dudes and Dudettes, I am so so lazy this week. I havent run since Tuesday. Its ridiculous. I HAVE TO START DOING STUFF AGAIN! At least on a somewhat more consistent basis. Updates to follow.

just so you know...

I didnt run today. I felt bad about it too. I wish I wouldve. Will I run tomorrow? I doubt it. I suck.

USA... USA!!!

Watching the Olympics lately. I am ready to watch the 800 and see Nick Symmonds destroy the field! At least I hope he does... It'll be fun to see Galen Rupp run too. I watched him live at Bush Park in his NCAA XC debut - it was awesome.

I did hills today with mike and totaled over 6 miles with warm-up and recovery running. I felt pretty good about it. I am contemplating getting up tomorrow and doing just an easy 3 or 4 miles just to keep the wheels moving.

I finally finished Mikes Fixed Gear bike and now I feel okay about riding mine! I commuted to work on it on Monday and it was fun, Today, I rode my scooter to work and I seriously felt guilty about it! The whole time (okay not the whole time, but certain parts of the ride) I kept thinking about how I could be riding my bicycle! I am going to try to keep riding my bike as much as possible. I am gonna ride the fixie tomorrow to add some more challenge to it.

Any thoughts??
