Goal was 4 last night, but felt good so did 5 miles. Slower time than my 10K time last fall was at 5 miles, but wasn't nearly as bad as I was thinking it would be. Tonight should be another 5k.

Just got back from 8 on the trails. I felt much better tonight but my left knee felt tweaked when I got out of the car when we got home. Sucks to be an old man.

Thursday night did 4 miles at 10 min/mile pace, and today did 9 miles at 9:50/mile pace.

I hit my weekly goal, body feels good, on to week 2 of training.

Weekly total= 20.87 miles

+13 since I last updated though.

Just for staying in shape right now. I've been thinking about trying out the Houston Marathon in January, but the longest run I've ever been on was about 8-9 miles.

BFC - just a FYI - registration opens up next month. It's now turned into a lottery system...but you can enter in groups of up to 10 ppl. If one person in the group gets in, all 10 people do. 🙂

+34 from my last post: 21,942
 
For Sale: Brooks Launch Mens Size 10

If anyone runs in those shoes, size 10, please drop me a PM. I bought a pair and ran a total of 11 miles before realizing, well, don't rock the boat from my current shoe. It's in the brand new Nightlife color scheme. (Not the red/orange) Thanks 🙂

I got in 6 miles on the trail this evening. My daughter is back to running with her brother and I so it was cool. And wearing a hat deflects deer flies!

5 tonight as a thunderstorm rolled in. The deerflies were out in droves again, damn. They are the only downside to running trails.

I went to a trail last year I've not done before, it was early evening and I was ATTACKED. I mean I almost feared for my life. I ran no more than 100 yards and then basically sprinted back to the car and rushed into it like a monster was after me. It's in a swampy area but these insects were unbeatable. I would have needed a bee mask to run properly.

Wow, if I had to worry about bugs like that on my run, I'd probably quit altogether. As it is right now, I'm only battling heat and humidity, and it's killing all my progress. :\

Anyway, +4 sinch my last post

Yeah, NY must be the deer fly capital of the world. The little bastards are the worst. You might try wearing a ball cap with some DEET sprayed on it. They avoid my head and face and I just have to swat them off my shoulders and arms.

Heading out to face 'em now. Wish me luck.

We wound up doing 5 miles. Tapering sucks. On the bright side, I killed 6 deer flies. 😉

Nice numbers Scorch.

I was going to do my last medium distance run before the hard taper starts this morning but I got called in to work at 6:30ish and am still here. And the kicker is that I saw other people running as I drove in. 🙁

ps - the runners are out on the trails at Western States for those who are interested.
 
Ran my second 5k in three weeks today. Beat my previous time by about 50 seconds and came in at 26:30 gun start and recorded finish, no chips, so it was probably 20 secs or so faster, but oh well.

But, +13 miles since I last posted.
