Training Run #2

Running injury!  Running injury!

Ok, not much to write home about, but definitely bothersome.  This is on both feet, where the edge of my Vibram strap comes over.  It started yesterday.  Either the sweat made it rub, or I just did not have the strap tight.  Gotta work on that.

Another cold (teens) run.  Brrr!  Just ran down the Greenway and back, pretty short, as I was pretty sore from yesterday's run.

Training Run #1

And so it starts!  Pittsburgh Marathon #3 in a few months, and this time, Kerry will run it with me.  So excited!

Excited for the chance of yet another PR.  I haven't quite gotten back into my recent half PR shape, but I am getting there.  I think anywhere from 4:15 to under 4 is possible for this marathon.  Less weight, more strength, we will see.

Cold on this run, as you can see from the ice in this picture.  This was right down from the WRAL Soccer Fields.  Cold run to start, but I picked it up and ran pretty decent.

Let's Do This!

Signed up for my fifth marathon and third Pittsburgh Marathon.  About six months and I'll be at the starting line again.  Very excited, as I am running pretty fast these days.  Did a 1:52 half a couple weeks ago.  Most mileage under 9 minutes.  Woot!

My Inspiration for 2015

Start With the Finish in Line

Or actually start showing the finish!  Subtract about 18 minutes of waiting until we made it to the starting line from Corral E.

Marathon Day!

Spoiler Alert:  I'm a 2-Time RUNNER OF STEEL!

Boy, after the race, I flew home and life happened.  So my run report will be coming soon, it's written, and I will post soon.  All I can say is PR on a great, great, and surprising run!

Run #77--The Last Training Run

The end is here.  At least the end of the training.  A good run for the last run--Clay Pike at my folks, lots of hills, but lots of peace, except for some cows.  A pretty decent run going into the rest before Sunday.
