Day 238: 1..2..3..4..AH AH AH AH!

Four days and counting!  My legs were pretty tired today after my “form work” yesterday, so I tried to find a form between “good” form and my “normal” form.  I basically focused less on kicking my feet closer to my butt and focused more on getting my knees forward and feet down a little quicker [...]

Day 237: Day 3

Today marks 3 days in a row that I’ve run — all 2-milers. Today, however, was a little different.
I’m all too aware of the fact that my distance-running form is terrible. I was more of a sprinter growing up and never really learned to run long distances. Usually when I try to [...]

Day 236: Two In A Row

Today is a bit of a milestone for this year: running two days in a row!  I decided to change (start) my running plan this week.  I’m changing from running 3 days week with no back-to-back running days to running 20 minutes per day for at least 5 days a week.  I’m off to a [...]

Day 235: 20 Minutes

I put in about a 20-minute run today which ended up being a 2-miler.  I haven’t really had a set work-out plan since I ran a half-marathon in October, so I’m going to try something simple: run 20-minutes a day for at least 5 days a week.  I’m doing this partly because I need to [...]

Day 228: Running To Sleep

Every once in a while, I get a migraine headache. Luckily, I can tell it’s coming because my vision gets messed up before I have one (apparently, it’s called an Ophthalmic Migraine).  Anyway, while getting ready for church this morning, I could tell one was coming.  So, I had to stay home while the family [...]

Day 223: Morning Run

I don’t normally take morning runs, but I’ve been so tired at the end of the day recently that I’m having a hard to convincing myself to go run.  So, I figured I’d give dawn a shot.
It’s evening now when I’m writing this, and I don’t feel any more tired than I normally do.  Perhaps [...]
