  • Run

    Day 218 Finally got my training started for this season. Maybe when I have time I will post why it took two months to get it off running. I blamed it on Post-Marathon Blue. I will cheat a little and count the Sunday in San Diego as my Day 1/ 0. -Sunday: 26.2 miles. ran […]

  • Middle of a long run

    Day 156 Boy is it hot! I am 7 miles into my long run and now stopped and got sidetracked here. I had my biometric taken for the TSa pre check screening. That is another story. I am not so happy to pay a load of money so that I don’t have to go through […]
