Just over two months to shape up for the Little Rock half marathon!
2011 Running Resolutions (Sorry for the repost)
There’s really only two:
Run a half-marathon.
Run a full marathon.
Little Rock will serve nicely as my half. I still want to run the full some day, but there’s just not enough time to train between now and March.
After reading Runner’s World’s January issue, I think I found my first full marathon. The Scranton, PA Steamtown Marathon in October. It’s supposed to be...
A new route is all mapped out (since I’m in a new house). The excitement of an impending race is coursing through my veins. The running clothes are unearthed from the boxes and boxes of junk.
Now, I just have to wake up on time tomorrow.
Oh-Noes-Update: Right now, there is a 70% chance it’ll be raining tomorrow morning. I don’t want to wuss out, but I also don’t want to...

Since it was my day off, I decided a daylight run might be nice. It’s definitely warmer now than it will be tonight, anyway. I actually broke a sweat!
I know I did just around 3 miles, but I have no idea how fast. I forgot to check my phone when I kicked off since there was a stranger running about three feet in front of me. I was trying not to run her down on the narrow sidewalk, but I...

Went for a walk with Buddy since he was feeling under the weather and even with it being 5 degrees colder, I was a lot warmer. Wind makes a ton of difference. Maybe it’s the company.
34F and dropping.
But I’m going out on the pavement. Spending all day couped up in this place has got me antsy. Plus, if I don’t run, I’ll just have to pack and clean. Yuck.
The shorter runs I’ve done in the last few weeks have been going well, and I’m ready to get back to stretching my distances. So tonight is going to be a 5 mile loop I ran a lot during training. The abundance of...

2.35 miles. 29 minutes. 12:34 pace.
I swear I’ve been running between the last post and now, it’s just… you know, tumblr. Buddy and I are still working out how to run with each other, so our runs haven’t been blazing or anything. He may be faster than I am (which is good because it pushes me to be faster) but I think I have the upper hand on endurance (which is good...

Bad news bears. Shinsplits (i.e. your shins splitting in half). But we tried.

Running Buddy was in charge of this run today. I let him pick the place (the bike trail) and the time (8pm when it’s really starting to get cold) and set the pace. So of course it turned out to be more of a run than we’ve done so far. Brisk warm up walk out, steady paced run back. Total 2.5+ miles.
This was also the first time I’ve ever seen a opossum in real life. It was a baby...
