Blogger may be down before I run

Day 147 - January 31, 2008

Since the day got away from me with unexpected things to do, I'm just happy I got out to run. I finally picked up some new shoes and I could really feel the difference in my feet. The last shoes held up really well and I managed to get over 500 miles out of them. Not bad for the cheap shoe from Aisics.

Day 146 - January 30, 2008

Sleeping through your alarm for over an hour is not conducive to running far. How's that for words of wisdom?

60 days till the big test

Day 145 - January 29, 2008

My run today didn't happen until after a yummy dinner of too much Chick-Fil-A. Needless to say, I ran what I had to and kept the streak alive for another day. Tomorrow will be a really early morning run, so we'll see if I can get many miles in. The 10 miler is sneaking up on me and I'm not building my endurance. I better start soon or it will be an ugly race 2 months from today.

Day 144 - January 28, 2008

How else can you explain how slowly I am running these days?

Knowing when to say when

Day 143 - January 27, 2008

The long run is turning into my white whale. I had every intention of running 10 miles today, but 2 miles into it, I knew it was not to be. Some days you just know that it is better to cut it short than to push too hard and get hurt. So I took the first turn around and decided it will be better to run again tomorrow.

I really need a new pair of shoes. I've pushed this current pair to around 500 miles and the cushioning is shot. I'll have to replace them this week.
