My first half marathon....DONE. I wish I could have powered through to a sub 2:00 finish, but I'm pretty pleased that I got at close as I did (around 2:02). Not bad for an old-ish dude's ... read more

good Home 4.17 mi 00:41 09:43 pace
Last few days tapering down before the HM on Saturday. This was the comfiest run in ages. Maybe a bit too comfy, but I'm trying to get over my hip flexors ALWAYS being sore when I run. I'... read more

RUN
alright Round the hood 3.5 mi 00:32 09:08 pace
Time's a guess as I ran electronically naked today. No watch. No tunes. Just my heavy breathing and cussing when I had to run through mucky grass.

RUN
alright Home neighborhood 5.03 mi 00:46 09:11 pace
Dang I hate morning runs after a huge rain. The choices are run in traffic (in the dark), run in muddy grass, or run through ankle-deep puddles on the sidewalk. I always opt for the puddles but it&... read more

blah Around home 5.02 mi 00:45 09:00 pace
Was way dragging this morning. Don't love running in the dark at oh-dark-thirty, but sometimes that's the only way to squeeze it in. Wish I could get my dang hip flexors to settle in and ... read more

I know what you mean about the stretching. Paying for the lack of it myself with my knee right now.

I hear you 100%. I did a one hill workout back in February and my hips have truly never been the same. And as much as they bother me you think I would stretch more than I do. If you figure out the secret to getting them better let me in on it. Nice 5 miles.

RUN
good Park West 5.07 mi 00:45 08:53 pace
Brisk pace for me for 5:30am and > 5 mi, but I was running late and had no choice but to huff it a bit. Felt great though.

RUN
alright Park West / Dunes West 5.19 mi 00:46 08:56 pace
Decent run. Knees feel a bit like old man knees. Will prolly take a rest day tomorrow.

RUN
good Park West as usual 4.85 mi 00:45 09:10 pace
Expected to be in rougher shape given that my Saturday run was my longest ever. This wasn't too bad. Loving my new Soleus GPS watch.

RUN
good Dunes West, Park West 11.04 mi 01:43 09:21 pace
Dear 10-Mile-Run...just wanted to make sure you and I are ok, you know, given that after 41 years I finally conquered you. Let's be honest...you've taunted me me for, well, my whole life.... read more

RUN
good Out to the PW schools and bac... 5.05 mi 00:47 09:13 pace
Long slow distance (except probably neither as long nor as slow as should have been). But was lowest effort run in a long time. For once I felt like I could do another 5 without too much difficulty.

Looking forward to trying out my new present to myself. Finally no more mapping out every single run on Google maps (hopefully). Pretty pleased with what this GPS watch seems to be able to do for $... read more

You can also try the Nike+ app its pretty good. Maps your run, calories and time and pace. Just have to carry your cell phone. But its a great app

alright Park West and Dunes West 5.81 mi 00:50 08:37 pace
The more relaxed, definitely the faster the pace for the same effort. Best pace ever for > 5 miles. Now if only I can keep that up for 13.1 in September.

good Park West to pool, around tow... 3 mi 00:27 09:07 pace
Good, easy run. Still trying to coax hip flexors back into cooperating. Need to rest up but still need to up the mileage before HM in Sept.

alright Park West including school loop 6.17 mi 00:54 08:49 pace
Little more like it. 20 deg cooler makes all the difference.

RUN
tired Park West 6.48 mi 01:00 09:18 pace
Not sure if it was the heat (87) or the week off during vacation last week, but this was no walk in the park.
