Well, I'll be "dammed" (Hey, I'm known for those lame comments): I finished, and I did better than I would have guessed. My pace was faster than any of my distance training p... read more

Today was an illustration why man invented wheels. And 100-proof whiskey. After six miles, I was pulling a boat from the campground. I was stunned at my time when I finished. Figured I'd b... read more

Hot and windy, but it felt good. This training thing pays off. I usually hurt like an extra in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre after running in this heat.

If you think this is hot...just wait till you're running in July & August! This ain't nothing yet!! :-)

good Cedar Rapids- North Cedar Nat... 8.1 mi 01:04 07:54 pace
Great weather and a trail through woods and farm land... and flat. Lots of runners here.

At that pace you must have not hit the Southern Comforts too hard.

Au contraire... that was the fuel:) I was trying to run away from my own pores. Actually wanted to run farther but part of the trail was closed. Amazing what your pace can be without hills to climb.

good Red Rock park Volksweg Trail 11 mi 01:29 08:05 pace
Felt better than last week... the grueling miles of 8 through 10 this time were easier cuz I told myself how tuff they were before hand. Amazing how that works. What a beautiful area... recommend... read more

Pushed it a bit since it was a short run so surprised my pace was so slow. Really thought it'd be faster. Next time I won't run in army boots (duh).

Long run in a beautiful place; felt great until mile 9 through 11, 90 percent of which was up hill. Burned. Not as good as last last week, but longer than I thought I would go today. Planned o... read more

blah Newtonia 5.4 mi 00:43 07:57 pace
Hot... felt like I was pulling cantaloupes across the desert. I hurt. Worst I've felt since i started running. I should think about slowing down maybe.
-
Slowing down can make you a better runner. I am equally convinced from personal experience that run/walk/run will eventually lead to faster paces. Experiment!

Ran to the track today and watched the 8k runners drive past for the "Rubber hits the road" race. Almost everyone waved. Runners are great. I hope one day to be one of them. Not sure ... read more

Awesome run and pace! I too have not been one to say, "I'm a runner." But when you always think of the next run and can't wait to lace up, then I believe we are in that category now. :-) Job well done "The King."- Did you think to yourself today, "8k?!? Wusses."

Your post says you ran 10.2 miles at a pace of 8:14. I'm confused. Seriously, am I missing something?

Yeah... went better than I thought. I've locked in the things I did before the run to try to duplicate them. Steph... did you drive past me too?
