I took a look at my June running, in particular a split I monitor. It’s about .43 miles of hill, uphill the one way, downhill the other. I climbed that section of hill 15 times in June running, descended it 15 times as well.
Going up it took me a total time of 1:14:23.51. Coming down [...]
June was an interesting month. Ran 57.5 miles and walked 40 miles. I also dropped some weight, about 4 or 5 pounds. Now on Sunday night I remember having the sensation that I was very light and it would be really easy for me to do a one-arm chin up with my right arm. Last [...]
I registered to run the Philly marathon today. It was $80, so about 3 dollars for each mile or so.
I covered more than marathon distance over the last week. 15.8 miles of running and 11.4 miles of hiking. I ran 8.2 miles on Saturday morning and walked 7.6 yesterday. The long run went well, I [...]
I ran reluctantly this morning. When the alarm came on at 5, I slammed it shut and asked myself why didn’t I set the alarm for 6. My blood sugar was 172, which was an improvement over the 292 at 1:30 in the morning.
I grumpily went to the bathroom to relieve my bladder and bowels. [...]
I was thinking about that this morning while I did some one-legged bodyweight squats. I do them using a chair, my flexibility isn’t good enough presently to let me raise the non-squatting leg up high enough to do them on the floor. So I stand up on the chair edge and one leg hangs off [...]

A good training week. Ran 14.8 miles with a 7.2 mile long run on Saturday. That’s the most miles I’ve run in a week since the half-marathon last November. I also walked 10 miles with a 6.2 mile hike on Sunday morning and carrying a 35-lb pack. 2 weeks ago I had walked 5.5 miles [...]
It’s been wet some here so far this month. Almost strange to see the sun today. The weather pattern here is the same one affecting Long Island where yesterday’s US Open saw play get suspended, not simply because of the heavy rain yesterday, but all the rain that has happened lately. The ground is soggy [...]
The last 2 years I’ve run in Nike Triax. I liked the 2007 pairs a lot, I trained up to running my first half-marathon and had no complaints about feel.
Last year’s model changed some, it had a somewhat different feel to it and the tread had changed and where I run the tread was the [...]
Saturday’s run wasn’t very good. Legs felt sluggish and tired, after the halfway mark I did lots of walking. I decided that since it was supposed to be an easy week no sense in trying to push through.
Yesterday’s walk was good though. I did it without a pack. Having done 5 and 5.5 miles with [...]
