Did the half pig

Finished the 1/2 Pig on May 3. 2:34:01. Happy with my time.

Still chasing half the pig

Yes, I am still gearing up for the Pig 1/2 marathon.

Ran a little. Extra work and a sinus infection that won't go away is crowding out the miles.

Nevertheless, still on schedule for 05-03-09 the Flying Pig.

Feb 16-

Monday: I usually take Mon off from the office so I get a few more miles in if I want.
Today was 11 miles.

Feb 9th-14th...21 miles.

After a couple weeks off the weather was cooperative and the ice was gone so I hit the pavement.

The official numbers:
Monday: 7 miles ~ 79 mins. A little over 11 minute miles.

Two thoughts: (1) I'm OK w/ being slow. Although I do have a target of keeping it in the 10 minute mile or less range.

(2)After being off for two weeks you lose some endurance and speed.

In general I feel very good.

Tues: Storms~No run.

Wed: 7 miles in 74 minutes. Windy and got caught in a pretty good downpour.
Still sore from Monday.

Friday: 7.2 miles 82 minutes. New route. Out towards Visalia and back.

Jan 19-23rd Total 26.6

Jan 19th...Wasn't feeling it. Lumbered 2 miles.

Jan 20th was the day of 4 dont's. I don't like the cold. I don't feel like running.
I don't run well when not motivated. But the most important don't: I don't sit on the couch doing nothing. I run.

3.4 miles ~ 39 mins. Cold. Snow on the ground. Slow.

Jan 21st...7 miles. 79 mins.
Jan 22nd...7 miles and yes, 79 mins. Both runs to Licking Valley Baptist and back.
Jan 23rd...7.2 miles. 80 mins.

Thought about running another 3.4 to hit 30 but my legs felt pretty beat up.

Jan 10-17...29.6 miles

Got out to running after taking a week off to a popping left knee.

Sat Jan 10...5.8 miles 65 mins. Something like 10:50 per mile.

Mon Jan 12...8.5 miles 93 mins. I ate a lot during running and never felt exhausted. 11 minute miles.

Tues Jan 13...3.4...35:30 mins. Something like 10:30 mins. Weather kind of rough. Legs felt heavy. 1st mile was 9:40.

Wed Jan 14...3.4 34:42 mins. A little over 10 min miles. Wind chill 19 degrees.

Thurs...Single digit temps. Sub zero wind chill = no run.

Friday...Even colder! No run.

Sat...8.5 miles 93 mins.

7 day total...29.6

AAARGGGHHH!

I wanted to start the year off right, but it was not to be.

While @ a friends house on Jan 3rd I noticed my left knee was popping.

I have decided to give it a week to return to normal. I should be hitting the pavement on friday Jan 10th. ~sigh~

Having my first run in 2009.

For this week I am updating my runs on the previous post. But it hit me today that since I started running on my 40th bday (May 30th)I have logged approx 350 miles on ft.

I feel a ton better, I have dropped 4 pant sizes and my wife thinks I'm smoking hot!! Actually that last one is more my imagination. The other two are true.
