> 7 miles (some faster, some slower)
> Miles for week: 23
> Miles scheduled for week: ~35?

Ran 4 miles at the track. 3 @ 8:30 pace and one at about 9:00. Sometime during the day I came to the stark realization that not only have I not done ANY speed work to speak [...]

> 6.5 at a slow 9:45/mile
> Miles for week: 16
> Miles scheduled for week: ~30 something?

Here we go again with the chronologically perverse nature of blogs. If you’re reading this and haven’t read the previous post, then things might be confusing.
Like ANYONE reads this?
I wasn’t going to run today, but felt guilty, etc. [...]

I know this is Thursday, but what with President’s Day and this being a busy week, I’m finally getting around to finishing this post about last weekend. I am truly on top of things!
I ran last weekend. [...]

> 3.5 miles easy (9:45 pace)
> Miles for week: 15

I’m ambivalent when it comes to this holiday. I understand that it has roots that go back to the middle ages and it’s not a completely made up holiday like National In-Home Nail Care Provider’s Day, but it still [...]

A Not-in-a-Blizzard Run

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

I made the decision toward the end of yesterday’s 6 mile run that I would take today off. After listening to the radio on the way in to work and after having phone conversations with folks on the east coast, I decided to lace ‘em up for a short run under sunny skies [...]

> Miles for week: 5.5
> Miles scheduled for week: ~38

Took a full week off due to illness.
Back on track today with a breezy 5.5 out to UCSB and along the Pacific shoreline bluffs. I feel like a runner again, after just one run. It’s odd how, regardless [...]

> Nada. Taking the day off
> Miles for week: 0
> Miles scheduled for week: 38-40

I watched THE BIG GAME yesterday. Don’t want any hassles with the NFL for mentioning the word “bowl” and the word “super” in any particular order or proximity to each other.
OK, it was the SUPERBOWL. [...]

I finished January with 68 miles in the log. Not an outstanding month, but my running is definately getting back into gear. I’ll get somewhere near 40 this week and I’m on my way to bigger [...]

Auditory Edification

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

OK, I’m going to blatantly steal some information from another site. Is it not stealing if I link to it?
I mentioned a few weeks back that I’ve been enjoying listening to books on tape and also old radio shows occasionally when I run.
(Standard disclaimer about the dangers of blocking out ambient sounds [...]
