We’ve been without power for the past 5 days. It’s an inconvenience but we have hot water and I’m able to charge batteries at work. Mona is having a rough time w/out a hair dryer.

Ran for 1 hour today, felt great. It was cool and the trail is almost clear of debris. I looped up to north broadway and back down across the lane avenue bridge and back up ackerman. I went up to como to finish out the hour.

Yesturday I ran 5k on the trail and almost twisted my foot on a rock. It’s very dark in the tree covered areas. Today I took my headlamp.

Hot long run today. Clintonville to Worthington. I carried a water belt, its more comfortable than I remeber. I was drinking 3oz every 15 minutes. I walked about 3/7 of a mile towards the end.

Celebration breakfast at TJ’s (waffle, 2 eggs, bacon and decaf)

My pace ended up at 11.23

I’m looking forward to the 1/2 marathon in October.

Went long this morning about 6 miles 55 minutes, mid 50s was a little cold

Found a great iphone app called ishape to track diet very cool check it out.

Needed a long sleve shirt and hat this morning …..brr

A short 30 minutes, stayed close to home with the threat of heavy rain. Legs didn’t want to move, low energy.

I took monday off and got a little extra sleep after my long run on Sunday.

Ran 8 miles (2 big hilly loops of Sharon Woods) pace ended up around 11.20 per mile.
Mona and Concetta ran/walked as well. We went to waffle house for a post run feast of a light waffle, eggs, bacon, and decaf coffee.

Life is Good 🙂

5k 9/3 Amazing morning run before sunrise, the trail was blanketed in mist.

5k 9/4 The trail looks completely different at 6:00pm. Lots of commuter bikes and other folks out for a walk run or spin. I wasn’t planning on running this afternoon, but my shoes called to me . They didn’t get a run this morning.
