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 [...]

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 [...]
4 Mile Run
Who: Alone
What: 4 Mile Run
Where: Struble Trail
Meh. Not a great run. Equipment issues marred the first two miles. Basically, I put my footpod in a shoe pouch, and the shoe pouch kept… not staying attached. I think I’m going to need to put the footpod on my shoe [...]
7 Mile Group Run
Who: Team Challenge Training Group
What: 7 Mile Group Run
Where: Kelly Drive
A little disappointing that the ‘group runs’ tend to be sparsely attended. Again, weather might be an excuse, but it wasn’t as cold as forecast and it didn’t rain until it we were done. Yet, we had two intermediate runners [...]
