another hour

Another hour-long run today with the hoops coach. Starting to get back in a groove with my running.
Recovering well from each run. Not any soreness to speak of. Feels good.
Today's run was tough headed south into a good breeze. But what I didn't realize until we headed back was that wind was keeping me cool.
On the way back it was still, sticky, muggy. ughhh....
Got a little warm about 50 minutes in, but held the pace for 5 minutes and picked it up a little the last 5.
May or may not run tomorrow. May keep on a schedule of a day off between runs.
Feels a little like I'm starting over. Oh well....

I ran

After numerous days off, I ran again today.
It's been nice to have some days off from running.
Today's run was great. Weather was nice. Not sure how many miles I went, but I ran for an hour with our hoops coach. Felt great.
Ran up and down some neighborhood streets at a fairly quick pace.
I feel like my body is back to feeling normal.

No running

I'm still a runner, but I haven't ran since Tuesday. That run wiped me out.
I'll get back to it this week.
Trying to get a grip on some things in my life and with the situation with my mom.
I went to see her today to tell her "Happy Birthday." It's not her birthday. It's mine. Get it? 41 years ago was the day she birthed me. Possibly the best day of her life.

I played basketball tonight. We won. As if you care. I got knocked down and as I fell one of my teammates fell into the back of my head. Twisted my neck a little and I could feel things popping. Okay, but I have a feeling it's gonna be sore tomorrow. Ugh....one day I'll give up this basketball stuff. But not yet.

90 minutes

I went running for 45 minutes before meeting up with our hoops coach and running another 45 minutes. That's the first run of more than an hour since the marathon.
I was fine for a while, but started feeling the affects of the basketball game Sunday night. I guess that running, starting and stopping got to my legs.
I was especially sore the last 1/2 of the run. I feel pretty beat up right now. Kinda like after running a marathon. Really. That sore.
Not anything that I think will linger, but right now I freakin' hurt.

Info about my mom on my other blog.

Wanted the negative split on the way back and got it. Hard running in the dark on sidewalks.

Feeling better again. Nice to run a faster mile 4 than the previous three. Lots of slowing down during this run through town because of traffic and such.

Hope to get in a long run in the morning before going to visit my parents.

Went to the Rockets-Mavs game last night. Pics on my other blog.

okay, so I'm still a runner

I was sick all last week. No details, but know it wasn't any fun. It was horrible. No running from Feb. 3 until finally getting back to it on the 12th. ugh ugh ugh ugh
Monday - Got out for right at 6.5 brisk miles. Felt good to get back to running.
Tuesday - Ran a fast first mile and a fast .8 mile. In between were three slow miles with the watch turned off. The first mile and the last .8 were each ran around 6:40 per mile pace.
Today - The legs were sore. Really sore from the fast pace yesterday. The quads were especially sore. Ran 6 slow miles to try and loosen up a little bit. Feels a little better now.

i'm not a runner

Apparently, I'm not a runner any more. I haven't ran since Saturday. ughhh...
Sunday, I was just lazy.
Monday afternoon I started feeling sick. Just now feeling better. Really want to get out and run. It's killing me not to run.
I need to get out of the house and run. Soon.

Headed out to Surfside Saturday morning to volunteer at the marathon and half marathon. I see there's some bloggers planning on running. Look forward to seeing some of you.
I'll be helping with the parking.
