First Run of the season.

1.3 miles in 14:03

I really have a long way to go....

I need to do 13.1 in three hours, that's a lot further than it sounds, and faster.

HollyB is such a motivator

"Quit whinin like a little girl! Butch up and move!"

Caint you feel the Love?

She's right, and I did, slowly.

Three more last night, but somewhat faster, Ibprophen before bed, I may live.

Two days off, then stomp around the loop again.

I think I've ruint myself,,,,,

.
The Love of My Life is very persistent, she ran a half marathon this fall and I ran with her. Key words, with her, and I still do.

She has been running some since, I have not.

Last night we ran together, three miles, 36 min. Sometime between 2330 and 0630 this morning, rigor set in. If it moves it hurts.

Meds are now on board, decaf ( I know, horrible) waiting for the continuous cuppa. I have work to do, an arbor to build, and I need to get a fill in job so my retirement won't be so tiring. Now I have to wait until the meds take effect.

Whiny beyotch that I am, I will get up and move shortly.

Rock and Roll half Marathon

The Love of my life and I finished the race close to each other this Sunday. I ran the race with her until I was sure she would be able to finish, and then I went on ahead a little.

Up to this point in my life, if anyone made me run 13.1 miles, about half way there, we would have to stop and scuffle, 'cause I have never gone that far. We are laying plans to do it again. This time I ran her pace, because I wanted to run with her. That was my commitment and what I did.

It was a great bonding experience.

The youngest completed the course, mostly walking, but ahead of a lot of people.

I and seventeen thousand people have a medal, and a memory.

The overall winners are professional runners who use this as a tune up for another race. They finished in 1:02 hrs.

Mutants.

The greatest champions were the afflicted ,who completed the course on walkers, even though getting one foot in front of the other, for just one step, is more of a battle than some of us faced doing the entire race.

A new goal

The Love of My Life and I ran six miles last night. Endorphins are wonderful things. Sunday will be the day.
13.1 miles, God willing.

Running log

Tonight: four miles in 52 mins, 80 or so degrees and 70 to 80% humidity, the great part is, we had some left, and could have gone longer.
