This Post Has Become Legion
I’ve been bad about posting, so this is a huge catchup post. I’ll deal first with the holidays, then with the half marathon stuff after a cut.
So the holidays were good. We went up to Montreal to visit with family and friends, and a good time was had. There were dark clouds [...]
11 Mile Run
Who: Alone
What: 11 Mile Run
Where: A treadmill in Planet Fitness Downingtown. Seriously.
When: Sunday
I’m having some motivation problems here and there. Part of that is the cold weather, I’m sure, and it’s also likely manifesting as… unforgivable lag in posting these entries.
Last weekend’s long run was canceled due [...]
45 Minute Crosstrain
Who: Alone
What: 45 Minute Crosstrain (Elliptical)
Where: Planet Fitness Downingtown
Just another crosstrain. I had the juice tonight though, because it was a fairly fast elliptical workout…. for me, anyway.
That’s it.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Summary: A good Star Wars story and some interesting design ideas encompassed in a mess of execution and repetitive, linear gameplay. Worth renting for Star Wars fans only.
Read on for the full take.
4 Mile Run
Who: Alone
What: 4 Mile Run
Where: Planet Fitness Downingtown
Technically it was a 5 mile run on the chart. I am altering the deal. Pray I alter it no further.
Cardio-wise, I was fine. Even my toe, which I complained about previously, was okay, though the sock was again red. (And [...]
7 Mile Tempo Run
This post is subtitled: Can’t Sleep, Clowns Will Eat Me
Who: Team Challenge Group
What: 7 Mile Tempo Run
Where: Kelly Drive, Philly
It was supposed to be a 10k race by the training chart, but there simply aren’t any local 10k’s going on so we did a group tempo run, which should be similarly [...]
45 Minute Crosstrain
Who: Alone
What: 45 Minute Crosstrain (Elliptical)
Where: Planet Fitness Downingtown
This is not meant as a brag. I swear. I’m as amazed as you are. But after doing so much running, I feel like I could go forever on the elliptical. I did 45 minutes for crosstraining and didn’t feel [...]
5 Mile Run
Who: Alone
What: 5 Mile Run
Where: Planet Fitness Downingtown Treadmills
Nothing really to report. 5 miles indoor on the treadmill, though it was warmer today and I might have been able to do it outside if I had really wanted to do so. But it was late, dark, and I just wanted [...]
10 Mile Run (!!!)
Who: Alone
What: 10 Mile Run
Where: Schuylkill River Trail, Valley Forge start
When: Saturday
I’m really bad about posting on the weekends, aren’t I. Sorry about that. But here I am on Monday posting about my longest run to date, and the first double digit mileage.
First, the important thing. I did [...]
5 Mile Run (Pace)
Who: Alone
What: 5 Mile Run (Pace)
Where: Planet Fitness Downingtown
Did 4 miles at 8:27 pace and a 5th at sub-8. I would’ve thought that was crazy at the start of this.
That’s all.
