Finishing the Year!

Finishing the year with a 4.5 mile run through the misty air is satisfying.  December has been an interesting month of running.  Returning from an injury has taught me quite a bit about running and training.  Listening to my body is important.  Next weekend I will start running with the Grand Rapids Running Club down at John Ball Park to get ready for the Riverbank Run.

Happy New Year – I am thankful to have friends to run and “compete” with through life – we will hopefully all be healthier  and happier as a result!

Violation

I violated my “rule” of not running over 5 miles in December today, but the weather was just perfect for a run.  6 miles isn’t much of a violation anyway.  If the December tally gets too close, I will pull out the early month miles if need be… hehe.

 My thought is to give a post at the end of every week from here on out – unless something of interest occurs – which is highly unusual!

Evening Run

My run on Christmas was really discouraging – but tonight was a better run.  Christmas was a heavy foot run – each step was way too much work.  Tonight was quite nice for a 4.5 mile run – after the first 2 miles things got easier. 

Healthy competition… what would the world be without it?

Christmas Run

Merry Christmas!  My Christmas run wasn’t fantastic, but I took a nice leisurely jog through the evening air.  My body still isn’t completely used to running again but I will keep on just to keep my monthly running totals higher than others I know…

Spreadsheet Please!

Garry and I are going to run the Riverbank Runthis year, therefore the readers would like to see a spreadsheet (google) tracking our training for the next 6 months.  Thanks for creating this Garry, I will fill in the information if you create the file and send me a link for editing. 

I ran a snowy 4 miles this morning – the cold is good!
