8×400 Repeats
Who: Alone
What: 8×400 Repeats
Where: Outside in the dark. It’s a little warmer today.
There’s a part of me that enjoys these speed workouts. And unlike the tempo runs, they are usually over sooner than long runs. I suppose if I said they feel almost like a break I’d be admitting [...]
4 Mile Run
Who: Alone
What: 4 Mile Run
Where: Planet Fitness Downingtown Treadmill
Monday runs are hard mentally for me, apparently. Especially now that I’m doing runs that are pretty long for me, I think. I mean… 8 is still my farthest run. And midweek runs are getting up there.
Confession time. It was [...]
6-8 Mile Tempo Run
Who: Team Challenge
What: 6-8 Mile Tempo Run
Where: Trail into Philadelphia that originates out at Valley Forge.
Coollllddd morning. I wore compression pants and looser fit pants over them… and on top, a loose compression shirt, a tight compression shirt, AND a running jacket. So the run was just weird because [...]
4-5 Mile Recovery Run
Who: Alone, in the cold. Brr!
What: 4-5 Mile Recovery Run
Where: Struble Trail
Again, nothing to note, really. I did work a pretty significant hill into this one. It starts at the 2 mile mark, roughly, and goes almost straight up from the Struble into a housing complex. Like, .4th [...]
4 Mile Run
Who: Other gymrats
What: Four Mile Run
Where: Downingtown Planet Fitness
Ugh. So I felt okay before this run. Then, I jumped on the treadmill… and immediately felt all energy drain.
I did it. And it wasn’t even hard, physically. Between 8:40 and 8:50 miles pace, on average. I just… didn’t [...]
8 Mile run
Who: Team Challenge participants. Okay, not many showed up.
What: 8 Mile Run
Where: Kelly Drive, Philadelphia
Okay, I’m lazy. Well, as lazy as one can be when one does an eight mile run then volunteers for a museum event, both on Saturday. I’m only now logging this one.
The run was in [...]
3 Mile Run (Pace)
Who: Alone
What: 3 Mile Run (Pace)
Where: Planet Fitness Downingtown
Nothing really to note here. I did the run on the treadmill to avoid rain. Won’t be able to do that tomorrow in the group run! At least it has been warmer.
5 Mile Recovery Run
Who: Alone… well, plus other gym people
What: 5 Mile Recovery Run
Where: Planet Fitness Downingtown
Not much to say here. I ran the quarter mile up to the gym. I ran 4.5 on a treadmill, because I wanted to avoid dark and cold. I ran the quarter mile back from the [...]
Wrath of the Lich King Slouches Slowly Toward Bethlehem…
… Pennsylvania. Then it will complete its trek to my home.
Uh. This post is my cryptic way of saying our copies have shipped. Because I am clinically insane, I ordered… two collectors editions. One for Ali and one for myself. Ha.

A little tip for Garmin Forerunner owners. If you are running at night and want the backlight to stay on constantly, just go to Settings -> General -> Display -> Backlight Timeout and set it to stay [...]
