Just what it says…General

Good one…

BTW, there is some science behind the n-second rule…n being 60 versus 5!

ME LOVE RUNNING!

3/4 CU, 270 cals: BOOYAH!


Training Journal – 2/15/12:

  • Current plan: 10K Training
  • Today’s session: 3 mile easy run @ 11:28
  • Comments: Beautiful morning for a run: ground just a bit damp, crystal clear with a nice crescent moon, a scattering of stars, and nice comfortable ~42 degrees. Went 4.4 @ 10:13

So sad.

Today is a rest day, but I’ll wear on tomorrow’s long run:

Sized

With ~110 lbs less of me around, I finally broke down and had my ring sized…

…no turning back now, baby!


Training Journal – 2/10/12:

  • Current plan: 10K Training
  • Today’s session: 3 mile easy run @ 11:14
  • Comments: Again, in the vein of sticking to what is on the “plan,” I only ran 3.2 this morning…@ 10:51 [doh!]. After yesterday’s speedwork, an easy 3 mile was probably wise. I guess those plans are thoughtfully developed!

 

This Morning

In my mind:

In reality:

A rainy day treadmill run.  yuck.

But it was training none the less…and a nice dry environment to do an inaugural run in my blues.


Training Journal – 2/7/12:

  • Current plan: 10K Training
  • Today’s session: 4 Mile Easy Run @ 11:21
  • Comments: Treadmilling it is not a favorite, but I did have negative splits this morning and stayed dry.  Pace was 9:40 – still fast against plan…

Interactions

Read this today.  Pretty clear guidance on interactions … though often a challenge:

Never speak harshly to an older man, but appeal to him respectfully as you would to your own father. Talk to younger men as you would to your own brothers. Treat older women as you would your mother, and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters.

Chomp! CHOMP!


Training Journal – 2/5/12:

  • Current plan: 10K Training
  • Today’s session: 11 Mile Long Run @ 11:21
  • Comments: What a wonderful morning for a run along the rolling East foothills.  The pacing challenge continues: I TRIED, but still can’t seem to hit the goal.  Today’s average was 9:58.  Splits were pyramid rather than positive or negative in shape…  giddy-up!

Tired

Call it the “post-vacation blues”, exhaustion, or whatever, I simply seem to be more tired from one week back in the office than six days of activity in Hawaii.

A return to the Islands might
be a prescribed remedy…

…and possibly a weekend!


Training Journal – 2/3/12:

  • Current plan: 10K Training
  • Today’s session: 6 Mile Easy Run @ 9:55
  • Comments: Another day with the “pace abiding” goal: planned was 9:55, achieved was 9:16 (Oh well.)  I did have negative splits and a sub-60 minute 10K!  [I also discovered myself humming “smooth” at least five times during the run!]

I stumbled across a simple fitness and nutrition plan for busy people that I thought I’d share…

  • Comments: Nice run back in my own environment.  I do miss running in warmer weather though…only a few months until we have that here on the mainland!

Each day at our resort, hundreds of these Mynas wished us “Good Morning” and “Good Night.”

They seemed to like the courtyard of our tower the best!
