My first meal in Montreal was pizza. I haven’t had pizza in a long while since having had to abandon the consumption of food that has gluten in it. Sometimes to satisfy my longings for a pizza like food I’ve used corn tortilla shells, Ragu pizza quick sauce, and mozzarella cheese to cook small flat [...]
Now I’m back here at work again.
The title of this post is an understatement. Last week was the best week of my life ever. I got to go see the woman I’ve fallen in love with and it was amazing. I remember coming up to find the exit from the secure zone of the airport [...]
Aye yi yi.
I’m starting to get excited nervous about Saturday and traveling to see Chantal.
Ran 5.35 miles this morning, pretty much easy pace. It felt like my legs didn’t have much extra to give, so I’d be better served by a run to give the legs some easy work. When I was finished, my legs [...]
I love good sleep. Love it, just absolutely love it when I can wake up without feeling wrecked. That week I had a couple of weeks ago where my sleep was messed up sucked. It’s not good losing out on quality sleep, I think that’s when the body is peforming a lot of repair work [...]
So I got that hill about a half mile from me and I’ve been running it all last month and this month so far. I did some totaling.
Last month, 15 running ascents, an average pace of around 11:30 minutes per mile. 23 running descents, an average pace of around 9:20 minutes per mile.
So far this [...]
Yesterday, I had a great run. I ran smart and I ran at a level that was a huge improvement over where I’ve been throughout June and the start of July. I had been seeing signs of improvement and on Thursday had a solid run that showed improvement was taking place.
I did 9.3 miles yesterday. [...]
I picked up Brad Hudson’s Run Faster yesterday to add to my literature and sources of reference as I try to figure things out for myself.
I especially felt I should get the book with seeing what I did on the run yesterday — lots of good signs that my running velocity is improving and [...]
All right. I’ll get to this morning’s run, but first I ought to cover what I did yesterday after getting home from work.
Yesterday was a walking day, although that’s been evolving over this past month. At first I would jog some on the downhills to help move the walk along. And lately I’ve begun incorporating [...]
I pretty well knew when I woke up Saturday morning, too early, before the alarm, feeling like I had slept like shit again on a long week of shitty sleep nights, that it wasn’t going to be a good day to run hard in a 5K.
I soldiered on about waking up and getting ready. While [...]
Yesterday when I went out for my walk, I put on my running gear. Shorts, tank top, running shoes. The plan was to run the downhills for the most part easy and throw in some uphill work too — some short uphill sprints in the range of 8 to 10 seconds and some longer uphill [...]
