Got in 10.78 miles this am.

Next run in Mexico.

2009-04-11T07:56:00.000-07:00

Ran 13.86 between yesterday and today.

2009-04-07T07:51:00.000-07:00

Ran 14.28 miles between Sunday and today.

Out sick all last week. Trying to get back into the swing.

2009-03-24T14:42:00.000-07:00

Ran a slow and tender 10.75 miles this morning,

but I got it done.

2009-03-23T06:45:00.000-07:00

Spring has sprung.

Ran 7.32 miles yesterday.

2009-03-20T05:49:00.000-07:00

Got in 10.72 miles before the snow.

2009-03-18T10:36:00.000-07:00

Ran 11.08 miles this am to the new DECEMBERISTS album.

Who said the internet killed the concept album?

Brilliant sounds and story-telling.

The Boss should give Colin Meloy a "blumpkin".

2009-03-15T08:49:00.000-07:00

Ran 15.11 miles this weekend.

2009-03-13T07:21:00.000-07:00

10.72 miles today.

2009-03-10T06:25:00.000-07:00

Good 10.73 miles this am.

Second fastest of the campaign.

2009-03-08T16:58:00.000-07:00

Ran 10.86 tonight in the rain.

Love running in the rain.

2009-03-06T06:29:00.000-08:00

Ran 10.79 miles this am to the new Decemberists.

The Decemberists are (by far) the best band nobody's ever heard of.

Radiohead is the best well-known band.

Both bands make The Boss seem like the Jonas Brothers, sorry CL and DH.

2009-03-04T13:40:00.000-08:00

Frustrating technical difficulties this am.

Garmin GPS tracked only 8 of the 10+ miles.

Couldn't establish satellite link.

Listened to the new U2 album, which requires several listens,

but could be good.

2009-03-01T10:38:00.000-08:00

My video pick of the week:

The Spins Trio Band

Got in 10.75 miles today before the snow storm.

2009-02-27T05:48:00.000-08:00

Ran a fast 10.76 miles this morning.

Tried running to The Boss.

Felt like I was running to The Wiggles.

2009-02-24T07:05:00.000-08:00

10.89 this am.

2009-02-22T10:50:00.000-08:00

Ran 14.19 miles this weekend.

2009-02-17T06:57:00.000-08:00

Great morning for a 10.86 mile run.

Thanks Dave from HJHoffman Printing in SoNo

for the support. Maybe I'll try some trail running.

Looking forward.

2009-02-15T06:32:00.000-08:00

Beautiful morning for a 10.78 mile run.

Early Sunday runs are the best. No cars, no people

(except for the few regulars), only the occasional fox

or coyote.

2009-02-13T13:42:00.000-08:00

Ran 10.85 miles in the strong winds this am.

Felt like I ran 20. But, almost all the snow is melted

and the roads are clear.

2009-02-10T05:57:00.000-08:00

Got in a good 10.81 miles today.

2009-02-08T08:56:00.000-08:00

Ran 10.82 miles today s-l-o-w-l-y.

2009-02-06T06:15:00.000-08:00

Best run of the campaign this am.

The 10.93 miles felt good, even though my body's

"fighting-off" something.

2009-02-03T05:56:00.000-08:00

Got in 10.83 miles before it gets messy outside.

Felt good.

2009-02-01T05:42:00.000-08:00

Got in a good 11.10 miles this am

before the Super Bowl feeding frenzy

begins tonight.

2009-01-27T06:31:00.000-08:00

The large bucket of popcorn I ate last night,

while watching "The Wrestler", had surprisingly little effect

on my 10.01 mile run this am. Felt pretty good.

More snow is coming.

2009-01-25T10:35:00.000-08:00

Ran 10.82 this am.

Very cold (7 degrees F), but roads are mainly dry and free of ice.

Looking forward to Spring and losing the layers.

2009-01-23T05:53:00.000-08:00

10.77 today.

felt slow.

Note to self: "garbage in, garbage out".

2009-01-18T10:58:00.000-08:00

Ran 10.1 miles this am in the snow.

Didn't mind the icy roads, but frustrated

by foggy sun glasses.

2009-01-16T06:47:00.000-08:00

Decent run this morning.

Ran 10.89 miles in the cold (5 degrees F).

Key to running in frigid temperatures is

maintaining core body temp. balance.

2009-01-13T05:56:00.000-08:00

Ran 10.97 miles this am.

Felt good. Ice starting to melt off the roads.

Peanut-butter and Fluff sandwich last night

may have helped.

2009-01-11T20:18:00.000-08:00

Ran 3.87 yesterday, and 7.5 today.

Felt fast today.

2009-01-09T06:15:00.000-08:00

Better run today, despite the frigid temperatures.

Starting to adjust diet and stretching to accommodate.

First week's total milage: 45.05 miles

Good first week.

Third Run

2009-01-06T06:32:00.000-08:00

Third run today (10.76 miles).

Felt slightly better, but still needs improvement.

2009-01-04T11:36:00.000-08:00

Ran first race of the winter Boston Build-Up Series this morning.

Good local event, 10K (6.21 miles) around town.

Results not posted yet, but I think I finished 27th at 39:20.

Feel fat and old, need to improve. I will.

Next run is Tuesday am.

First Run for RUNFORITP

2009-01-02T09:38:00.000-08:00

First run for the RUNFORITP campaign was this morning, Friday, 1/2/09.

I ran 11.05 miles, as recorded by my newly purchased GARMIN Forerunner 305 (GPS-enabled training system). It was a hard run due to holiday diet, lack of exercise, icy conditions and strong head winds. I ran my usual course, which is from my house in Rowayton to the turn-around gate at the end of Long Neck Road in Darien, and back. Good start.
