laced back up

Finally got my shoes laced back up and hit the trails of bush park again! Did a nice 7 miler with the studerbaker today, it was nice being back out there. It definitely felt like I hadnt been out running for almost 2 weeks, but I felt okay overall. Mike's goal is to do 20 to 30 miles each week, so that'll be good to jump on board with him. My plan is to ramp that up once Ultra training starts! I will have to if Im gonna pull off a 50 miler next year.

sick stew

Damn, being sick sucks. I thought I was gonna dodge the bullet when the wife and kid were puking and I was feeling fine, but alas, the sickness jumped on my back and took it too me last night. I feel like Im on the mend now, but we'll see how it all shakes out. I was supposed to go run on Thursday with my homie mike, but there was no way that was gonna happen with the night of sleep I got on Wed. Supposed to go running on Sunday with mike, hopefully I will be ready to roll.

Right now Im listening to Uhh Yeah Dude.

Thanks for the comments from the last post!

Seatbelts.

got'r did

did a quick 5.5 miler with mike today. I wish it didnt take me so long to get ready for work because lately I'd be running longer distances during the week. Ive been feeling pretty good lately and want to capitalize on it. Mike and I are still noodling on our plan to get me on track for ultra training. I can picture it now in my minds eye. If anyone is reading this blog, please send a sexy comment my way.

getting it on

Hey! Ive been running a bit more regularly lately. I ran twice this week with mike, 6 miles each, it felt really good. I couldve easily run alot more but time was a factor. Mike was asking me about ultras and I had recently been pursuing some excellent ultra blogs. It definately gave me the tickle to do another one! We have a plan to use the Cascade 1/2 marathon as a spring board into ultra training. The Cascade 1/2 is a few months away, we will use that to get up into the low double digits, then make it our goal to run a 20 miler in February. That'll get me started in my training again. Any advice from more seasoned runners would be welcomed. I will be reading your blogs!

Farewell to Mr. Bill

Goodbye Bill R! Good luck in Idaho. Did a nice 6 miler with mike and bill today, bill is a local runner/tri-guy who is getting ready to jump ship and move to Idaho. It was a good run, Mike and bill are much much faster than I am and they really move, so after the first 2 laps, I was trailing, but not too far. I kept an even distance between them for the remaining 2 laps. It wasnt too bad of a run. I felt pretty good about the pace, etc.. during it all. Im planning on running again with Mike on Thurs, Bill said he may join us again, but who knows. He is leaving the next day. I am hoping to run with Mark Maus in Maryville on Sat. am. before the Bearcat game. Hopefully Mark will be in town, it'd be fun. Anyway, Thats all. Seatbelts.

update

Hey readers, here is a quick update from the runnings of Kurtis G. I ran on Thursday with Mike and we did 7.5. He did some stairs afterwards, but he is hardcore and I alas, am not as much. It was a good run though. Today I ran with my friend Tiffany from Maryville, she is living in Oregon City for the time being and came down to visit us. We ran a bit over 3 and an easy pace, but it was fun just being out and running early in the am. Hope all is well. Seatbelts.

been too long...

ITs been too long since my last post. I have been running, but just not posting. I cant remember all the runs Ive done since 9/25 (my last post) but This morning I did over 6 with mike at bush park. It was good. We were gonna do sprints at South High track, but Mike wasnt feeling up to it, so we did laps instead. It was fun, we chatted it up and then when I got home, Ari was awake at 5:30. NUTS! Thats so stupid. that kid should sleep longer. I know I wanted to. I will try to do better later with my postings. Seatbelts
