13 miles

Today Dave, Eric H., And myself ran close to a half marathon distance. It was very cold & I felt a little sick, but we ran it anyways. Again we forgot are watches so it was a guess on the house clock. We finished it in about 2 hrs. I felt pretty good when it was over.

3 miler with intervals(Brooks)

Today I ran 3 miles on the treadmill. I would run at a comfortable pace for a mile and then sprint for a half mile. I worked up a good sweat. My overall pace was 7:24 for the 3 miles. Eric H., Dave, and myself are running 13 miles tomorrow. Pray for Sun!

7 Miles

Dave and I ran a easy paced 7 mile loop past IHC to Gillette Road and back to the high school. We actually slowed a bit to check out some scenery along the way. We finished it in 59 minutes and a few seconds. About an 8 minute and 44 sec mile. I am trying to gauge what a 9 minute mile feels like. My plan is to hopefully run VT close to that.

5 Miler

Again Dave and I ran in the school. And again we finished up in the gym on the treadmill. This time I concentrated on raising the treadmill track for most of the run. Eric S. has not run with us in a week. I hope he is getting in the miles.

6 Miler

Today Dave and I ran about 5 miles inside the school. We then ventured over to the gym to stretch out. I also ran a mile and a half on the treadmill.

3 Miler with Brooks

The weather has been bad and the roads are pretty crappy. Dave and I didn't want to brave the elements so we ran the treadmill at Watertown High. I did 3 miles for a pace of 7:37 a mile. I didn't raise the treadmill so it was a flat 3 miles. Shins are a tiny tiny bit sore, so I may take the weekend to rest. I may ride the bike one day. Next week my long run will be 12 miles if the weather permits.

11 miler

Today I ran in snowy, icy, very windy weather. It was tough, but I did it. I ran the hilly park route plus a mile in the cemetery. I also ran my neighborhood for the remaining distance. I forgot my watch, so i guessed on time from my kitchen clock. Give or take a few seconds it was around a 9 minute pace. I ran early in the day because we have a lake effect warning this afternoon.

6 miler

Eric, Dave and I ran the usual 6.2 miler. We ran from the high school, to IHC, up to woodside Dr. , around the side streets and back to the high school. It was slow since the traffic kept us at bay. We had to stop at some intersections. We finished it in about 54 and a few seconds. Eric is getting a little stronger.

5 miles

Dave and I started out at my house. We ran down Cook Road, up Brookside Dr, around the cemetery, and back home. The weather was pretty nice. A little chilly, but very sunny.

9 Miler

Today I ran a comfortable 9 miles. I tried to to pace myself around a 9 minute mile. I finished it in 1 hr and 19 minutes and a few seconds. So, it was just under a 9 minute pace. I have to learn to control my pace. Today's run was very hilly. The weather was nice!

6 Miler with Brooks sneakers

Dave and I ran 6 miles inside the high school. We ran some intervals & did some stairs. We ran for exactly 48 minutes. Tomorrow or Sunday I will run an 8 miler.

5 Rainy Miles

Eric and Dave couldn't make it, so i ran it alone. It was a light mist with much standing water. It was also quite warm out, so I was not going to pass up the run outside. I am trying to rack up the miles. I am also losing some pounds. I have gone from 170, at x-mas, to 163 as of today.

6 miler

Dave, Eric, and myself ran a 6 mile loop around the high school neighborhood. Dave was beat, since he cross counrty skied 6 miles earlier. He ran about 3.5 miles. Eric ran about 4.5, while I did the full 6.

4 miles

Today we ran outside, since the weather was nice. We ran the neighborhood around the high school and up towards IHC. There were some hills involved, but I felt pretty good.

8 Miler

Today I ran 8 Miles with my brother-in-law Eric. We ran the Turkey Day loop, as well as some side streets. The temps were in the lower 40's. Great day today. Tomorrow will be a rest day.

5 miles OUTSIDE

Dave and I ran outside tonight. We started from the high school , ran past the park, made it to Ohio School and finished back at the high school. Shins barked a little, but not too bad. they are not 100% yet. I am looking forward to a long run tomorrow.

5 Miles again

Today we ran for 43 minutes and 31 seconds. We ran some stairs, sprinted a few halls, and picked up the pace on the bridge to case. We figured that we ran about an eight minute pace. It was way too cold to run outside. Maybe on Friday we can venture out.

5 with stairs

Dave and I ran about 5 miles inside today. The roads were a little slick so we played it safe. We have been picking up the pace, as well as working our legs. We climbed many stairs, especially at Case. My calf muscles are exhausted. They have been cramping up a bit. I have noticed that it getting darker later. The days are getting longer.

5 with stairs

4 miles

Dave and I ran inside for about 4 miles. We ran in the high school utilizing the bridge at Case. Tomorrow we will either run outside (weather permitting) or stay in and run some stairs.

5 Miler

Yesterday I ran around my development. I finished it up with a run around the cemetery . It was a nice run with a little bit of snow in the cemetery. Shins just a tiny bit sore last night and today. I will run again tomorrow.
