Day 1237

2012-01-30T15:01:00.000-07:00

Back to a late 2011 training run. Been taking it easy for a month, but now pushing a touch more.

Tired today, thinking to skip karate, so pushing harder here made sense. A set of 7.1mph intervals for most of the second 10 minutes.

The Next Challenge

2012-01-09T16:19:00.001-07:00

I wasn't sure I'd still be running at this point, especially given how I felt around day 1000, but something happened. The back loosened up, I enjoyed baseball more, and I felt good. Even with regular aches and pains, I managed to keep up karate, albeit at a reduced pace after my black belt test in July.

And I'm still running, with only a couple days in the last 200 that I've struggled with. Some great group runs in the fall with friends while traveling, and a long one in Liverpool at 8:30 one night after I arrived. I got lost on that one, which was supposed to be a short 1.5mi run.

A friend just completed a marathon, and that has me a little inspired. My wife wants to run one, though I'm not sure she'll find the time to train in a busy life. I'm thinking that I'll get a 5K scheduled sometime here soon. I was thinking I'd run one with my wife, but the new puppy has delayed that. I'm hoping to do a 5k or 10k and see how I feel sometime this year.
