dreaming of Boston

well took two days off for the weather to warm up and the wind to die down, nice run after school temps in the 40s could  be a little warmer but not bad , ran in the big town of Union

pop (1800) littlle soreness but coming down the home stretch for the half marathon

went 6 miles on this windy Sat. morning temps once again in the 40s heading for a high in the 60s so winter is gone for the time being, I change shoes so have a little soreness hopefully

that will be over in a few days, two weeks to the Frost Bite Marathon going 12 in the morning,

please no wind

humidity returns to Mississippi, very sticky with temps around 60 at the start of the run, average just under 10:00 miles (yuk) very sore will take a few days off

finally got a run after the tornado threat had passed, temps around 70 strong wind out of the southwest light drizzle, ran Ok still have some soreness in my feet from the 12

early morning run at 6:00 it was still dark so I put my little headlight on and went running in the pasture across the highway, much cooler with temp around 38 just eight days to the half

marathon

good nights race great run this morning, ran in the pasture to stay away from the concrete,

temps around 32 but really still and nice, have a question,  my half marathon is next Sat and it starts at 12:00, what do I need to eat in the morning and what time? thanks

six days the the Frost Bite, good run this morning little windy temps in the low 40s, saw three deer while running in the pasture very pretty, will run a couple  more times this week then it is off to Starkville

what a day , we woke to the first snowfall in eight years, we had  a inch of snow which for us is a blizzard, the race was is Starkville, MS population 22,000. Starkville is about 90 miles North of Union but there was no snow in Starkville. The weather in Starkville was Partly Cloudy NW wind around 15 with temp around 40. We boarded the bus at the fitness center and we were driven 13.1 miles to Phoebe, Ms population 300 . THe run from Phoebe to Starkville is rolling hills few houses and lots of cows. I ran with my good friend Hugh. He had never ran that far before but he left me at the eight mile mark and finished in 1:44. It was very cold to start the race but once the race began I was too hot. Next year will not wear as many clothes. I kinda struggle the first couple of miles but I hit the 10 K mark at 47:00. The next next two or three miles went pretty good but I struggled around eight and nine. I hit the 10 mile mark at 1:20. The last three miles a really tough. From mile 10 to mile 11 you gain 90 feet in elevation and the hills keep coming to the finish line. Overall I was very pleased with my time and hope to build on it .

still real sore from the race, will probably run a little Saturday or Sunday, get back on track on Monday

nice run on a Sunday afternnon, sun was finally out with temps in the 50s, ran through the pasture, will start training for 10k in April

stormy day in Mississippi forced me inside on the treadmill, i stayed between 8:20 and 8:40 pace, really wore me out, running on a treadmill is hard work

and another rainy day forced me inside, but this time just ran around the gym, went about 4, will get outdoors on Sat with temps in the 60s should be nice

forced to go inside today, bad weather and tornadoes, made the loop in the gym for 4 miles, hope to get outside and do some tempo running this week but the weather does not look like

it is going to cooperate, oh well summer will be here soon

early Friday morning run, temps around 38 , ran through the pasture, not a bad run

got up around 7:15 and had a real good run, temps were real nice, ran in the pasture, grass much nicer on the feet than pavement

got up around 7:30 and went for a nice run, felt kinda tired, with coaching tennis I can't spread my days out just have to run when I can, went about 7
