Hope everyone is safe and getting in lots of miles. Many races for May and June have been canceled or postponed but things will be figured out and we will be able to race again at some point. The most important thing now is we stop the spread of this virus. Ran eight miles yesterday with my dog Daisy.

As many of you may have heard I unfortunately was knocked down at the start of the National Masters 8K Championships in Virginia Beach, Virginia back on St. Patricks Day 2018 and broke my left hip. It has been a slow process recovering but after a year of no running at all and some training at short distances I was able to go out and complete a 5k in 27:28 at altitude. Still a long way to go to get back to running in the 22 minute range which is where I was when I went down. So great to be back to running again but I don't recommend breaking a hip in your 70's.

So sorry to hear this Kelly. One thing I would do right away is buy some arthritis patches. I think they are about 1.50 each. When I had hamstring issues, I wore these patches day and night for a few days. I was able to run without pain in just a few weeks.

Good to have you with us Ron. Our focus is running but we know some people can't run any more. The key thing is to keep moving. Weight training is one good way to do it. If you can you should mix in walking too.

Ran my 25th straight Carlsbad 5000 on Sunday. Wanted to run 35 seconds faster but with the lack of training and up a few pounds it just did not happen. But I did finish 4th in my division. Top three get a special award. I have gotten 4th here at least ten times and just one third over the years. Fun event.

Hamstrings situations are not fun. Have you tired taping? I get a patch from CVS and that solved my issues a couple of years back. Just an idea...

Sciatic pain is horrible. I have it most of the time. Resolution depends on what is causing it. Motrin works fairly well. I wish you the best.

I thought how could he. He was really 1:29 pace. I followed them for last 3 miles and past them at end. At GU at mile 4 and 8 (Honey Stinger). Perfect weather. No issues with cramps or pain. Felt strong throughout race. Speedwork on track for both intervals and tempo is paying off. The long runs and 70 mile weeks has my endurance up there.

Finished the 60-day Yoga Challenge at Bikram Yoga San Jose. That was 90 minutes of hot yoga every day for 60 days!
Each class started with a breathing exercise, then proceeded into 26 postures, and ended with a breathing exercise. In between the floor postures, we did a 20-sec rest followed by a sit-up.
It took discipline to attend class every day, especially on the bad days when I had no energy or desire.

Just finished my 90 min yoga class at Bikram Yoga San Jose. Have been taking a 90 min class daily since July 1. This is their Summer 60 Day Challenge, where you take one yoga class a day for 60 days.
These are brutally tough classes in a hot(105-108F, 50% humidity) room, where we start with a breathing exercise, do 26 postures , and finish with a different breathing exercise. So I call this Yoga 26.2. It feels like running a marathon and takes the same amount of mental tenacity.
Missed my class Sunday, because of running SF Marathon and going to Marin park for group picnic, so will need to do a Double Yoga session in 1 day soon to make up for this.
Have been working very hard to improve my balance and flexibility and strengthen my spine.

Easy
Hot (81 degrees) and humid (87%) at 5am in morning in Singapore. Had to take salt pill, one can of electrolyte drink and two bottles of water on this short run. Completely soaked in sweat. 3rd day of running in heat. HR in high aerobic zone (140 to 148). Tried to keep under 150 but had to run slower.

Medium Long with SJ Fit up Aldercroft Heights to top of hill. Hot. Had to take 2xsalt pills, 1xgu, and 4 bottles of water.
On the hills pushed on way up until slight burn in legs.
Finished strong with the last 2 miles at 7:18 and 6:48 on the downhill, but heat took its toll --slight light headedness.

Take care of that hamstring. When I had this issue I put on a patch (day and night) and took some magnesium tablets and solved the problem in about ten days. Just an idea.

Mountains 2 Beach Marathon
Fast course - went out too fast and left pacer, who caught me at mile 21. I tried to keep up but my legs were shot.
I had a gradual fade from mile 16 to 26 but kept miles below 8 min/miles. This was the second fastest marathon and 5th fastest half marathon.
5 Gu's, two Stinger waffles before, one can of coffee, and carried water bottle. Tried salt pill but coughed it up. I had the speed but not the endurance -- need more 20-22 miles long runs. This was the 3rd marathon in 6 weeks.

I enjoyed the Double immensely. It gave me a challenge to run with many fast runners. The race was very well organized with well marked course and helpful volunteers at sign in and on-course. With the course change, I am amazed all the cones were out at every corner and path split. Every mile markers were painted on the mile and turn around points -- all accurate to my Garmin --well done.
As my goal races are the half and full marathon, I will continue use the Doubles to work on my speed and endurance. I tried even splits, but the excitement and competition pushed me to run harder. Thank you for a great race.

Good luck to everyone running our Palo Alto Double 8K on Sunday. Might be wet but we will make it fun. See you there. Start and finish at the Athletic Center near the PA Golf Course. New course this year since our last one is flooded.

And this is why we just bought a waterfront (lake) lot just north of Hilton Head this past weekend! While it was snowing and in the 20s back in Boston, it was 77 degrees and sunny while running the Hilton Head Marathon! I will be much happier watching boats go past my window as I won't have to shovel the lake after they are done!

Track work is helping. Tempo's seem to build the speed endurance.

Christmas Double: First time I ran second leg(5K) faster than first leg(10K) and I have done more than 10 doubles! The very cold weather may have been a factor, but I have run Pleasanton in cold and always slow down in 5K.
This is very unusual for me to run negative splits. However, I did start late in 10K and took it easy for first 3 to 4 miles, then picked up my pace around mile 4 and finished strong. So I had more in the tank for the 5K this time, but my 10K was slow for me.

I try to always run the second leg faster but sometimes I just run out of juice the last mile. Glad you were able to pull off the negative split. That works! Congrats!

For a very short time, I was with the 1:10 pace group at the double 8k, but what a great day for a double run in San Juan Bautista. thank you Bob for a great holiday event! Now it's all easy(LSD style) distance till next race on New Year's eve morning, just putting down some gentle recovery miles (3 last night, 5 today) while checking out Christmas lights this week!

Just 1.3 miles this morning. Pushed the last half. This brings my total running miles for the year to 1803. Need 22 miles by year end to average 35 miles/week for the year. Since I have run at least 30 miles weekly all year, it should not be an issue. Did you reach your goal?

Got in six miles today after racing the Double yesterday. It was tough but I needed the miles to reach my 30 mile per week goal. I am going for 1825 miles for the year (35 per week average) and I need 32 more miles by year end. Should not be a problem!

Followed another runner back for 5 miles and pushed the up the volcano and down the volcano to raise hr to 150's. Felt waves of heat as body overheated. Had to stop at a few water stops to cool head and lower heart rate.

Acclimating to the humidity. Ran before the sun rose along Diamond Head to small beach with island. Pushed up uphills and noticed heart rate too high (20 beats about normal at pace).
Took salt pill and drank some water. Had to keep heart rate in aerobic zone.

Sounds like you have figured it out. Humidity is the worse. I grew up in Kansas and we had plenty of it.

I realized today that I can't run another competitive race in the shoes I wore in Saturday's Half M so went and purchased a pair of Brooks Ravenna. I also own the Adrenaline but they are clunkier than I had expected (have had Adrenalines for years so either I have changed or the shoes are heavier). Hoping the Ravennas will do the trick....had to get B width as they don't make them in 2A narrow.

Ran the first 18 miles too fast. Then from mile 21-26 there was strong head wind. Kept cadence and heart rate even, but pace suffered. 2nd best marathon time overall, and best Napa Valley Marathon by 15 minutes.
Need more hill work up and down along with longer long runs. Also need to start slower by 15 seconds per mile for first 6 miles.

It is just in my garage which is fairly cold and no entertainment whatsoever. I usually set the incline at about 2%. If I had to really use it a lot, I would probably work in some more hill work, but for now, just putting in the time and ramping up the speed sometimes. That can be a bit dangerous for us old farts, but good for the concentration as long as nothing bad happens. Overall, this winter is pretty tolerable, we just have to figure out the correct layers to wear.

Bob, a farmer's carry, also called a farmer's walk, is basically carrying weights in both hands and walking with them. The weights can come in various forms. I use a "trap bar" (aka "hex bar") similar to that shown in this video clip. s://youtube.com/watch?v=BTQmg1s7nFQ
They can help improve posture and grip strength.

It is amazing sometimes that pain goes away as we continue. I did the same thing on Sunday. I was tired from running 13 miles on Saturday. I was only going to walk Sunday. Then I started running after only walking a quarter of a mile and ended up doing 13 on Sunday too (slower however). Good to see things are coming together for you. Take care of that knee.

Made the turnaround in 29:01, and most of its downhill; you know what that means. The 5th mile was 8:01 uphill, and 8:34 for the 6th biggest uphill mile. Finished the last mile in 8:13 over hills, and valleys; I'm getting stronger.

7miles to the lake, and back home in 65minutes. I think I'm done with rehab, no pain in the neck from the surgery. Running is getting easier it's time to start training again.

Long runs always amaze me in terms of the shear number of moods and emotions that pass through me over the course of the run. I was not trying for speed. As this is the longest run I have done in several years. I was able to be more conscious of my posture when noticing that my right knee was hurting, which is a good "wake up" call to prevent problems later on.

It is really oppressive now, 114 degree heat index at 5 pm, but much more tolerable at 6 am. I have acclimated pretty well to the humidity, but am not out there running in the real high temps. Usually it is below 80 in early morning. Weatherman said there would be 2 heatwaves this summer, and the rest normal to a little cooler. I think this is the 2nd one, so we should have clear sailing in another week or so. Or.........who knows??

I had to race off after the 5K, so could not hang around that day. Yes, I thought we were pretty lucky with the reasonable weather. I just don't know about the best race date, I know there was a color run or glow run or something like that the evening before. Then it is also the start of a big vacation week, but plenty of folks still are around home so that is probably not a huge issue. A lot of the other weekends seem to have as many as 8 to 10 races going on. And we really take pot luck all thru the summer as to when a heat wave is going to come through. Very tough to figure it all out.

July's 5K is finished! It's not about the time. It's about doing something good for my health and community. Just before the turn around, I saw a young fellow racer sitting off to the side. I stopped to see if she was okay. She said she was light headed. Her first race and she hadn't hydrated or eaten much this am. I was able to get help for her at the water station. She apologized for slowing me down. Heck, if I was having problems, I would want someone to stop for me. WIN! But epic FAIL, I didn't ask her name. :/

It was fun Bob, and it's a great park. We just found it that day. I broke off from grandma, and the kids for a power walk. The Dr said I could walk until I started to hurt, so for so good.

So bummed... this should have been the Double Road Race Indy, but it got cancelled due to low participation. Makes me sad. We have GOT to figure out a way to get this race known in Indy! No one I talked to about it [and I talked to several people] had ever even HEARD of it, and this was to be the 3rd year for it here! The race directors need to get in with a local running store or something to get the word out! Unknown whether it will be a final cancellation or just post-poned to the fall. Only ran 3 miles today instead of the 10k and 5k I was signed up for. :(

I'm finally considered a local class runner! I ran my best 5K time today of 21:53, beating my 7/4/14 time of 22:05. Very happy considering I had stopped racing 5Ks to focus on halves and fulls. With the break in half and full season, I started weekly speed training again, which has been a big help!

Yes, I'm good at "sounding" ready. I will of course wear the fashionable and stylish red Ujena Elite Racing Team singlet. Sure, I can run on the Club team... but I forget how to administrate this. I was just planning on running it for the beautiful course but, in any case... see you on Sunday.

I remember running up in the mountains above Colorado Springs and looking out from a ridge trail towards Pikes Peak. It was September. A month later the first big winter storm hit the area. By then, I was back in a Sunny California.

10.5 mile loop out on the levees. Beautiful morning. Felt good with comfortable finish. Stretching. Nice thing about a 5km race on Sunday is that it doesn't leave your legs trashed for the week.

I have a question regarding shoes. I have flat feet and neuropathy, so was fitted for shoes with arch support and gel lined. Now, my arches hurt terribly for the first mile or so. I am no longer having the leg cramps, though! Should I look further for other shoes, or give it time for my feet to adjust? Thank you for any suggestions!

My feet are flat too. I find if I have any arch at all it just does not work. This is also one of the reasons I don't wear socks. Sounds like you will have to decide what is more important. Seems like as we age we are dealing more and more with managing pain. Good luck.

Thank you! I've wondered about putting gel inserts in addition to the shoes with the arch support. Or, just gel inserts in my other shoes! Thanks!

I am getting ready and am looking forward to it. I have one more half marathon on 3/15 and then will take a break from racing for most of April, I may pick up one more half at the end of April. I've been racing consistently since October, so I'll benefit from some recovery time. Unfortunately, it will probably be humid on 5/17 unless it's an out of the ordinary day. If you can adjust the start time, a 6:15-6:30 start would be better.

Haven't been able to run this week and it sucks! I ran 20 last Saturday and then, rather than rest like I was supposed to, I did a 2 hour Spartan workout - which included some light running and some hard, fast sprints. Big mistake! My calves were already hurting some due to the 20 so I took some meds to alleviate the pain - it must have covered the pain so I didn't realize when I was hurting myself more on Sunday. I ended up with what I think is shin splints and calf muscles that are tighter than they've ever been. I don't think it's torn - light stretching helps and the weight lifting (quads and shoulders) seemed to help some until I was done. I have a half marathon on March 8th - hoping this is better by then so I can actually run it... Ugh

It was a good race Rich. Felt great during the 10k, especially the second loop. Powered up the hill both loops no problem. The 5k I went out harder and the last mile was just trying to hang on to pace!

Danger Will Robinson!!!! Running marathons isn't like running 5k's. You need to watch your recovery and space them out more. Like two a year. Don't mean to dampen your triumphal march but this is a good way to get injured. That being said, nice race.

Yes thank you for the advice Richard. I understand the toll that the marathon takes on the body. I spaced them out as best as I could in order to qualify as a Marathon Maniac. That was my goal for doing three in that time period. I always consider my health and pay attention to my physical state. I am recovering now and will not be running for at least 6 days.

Be careful with banked indoor tracks. They can screw up your hips, back and legs unless you reverse directions halfway through. Plus you get to play chicken with other runners.

Thanks; I know 16 (banked) is so short (27-28 sec. a lap). The one I ran on in Hays, Ks. was (10). In Texas It was 7/mile; it was 3 lanes around 3 indoor tennis courts. As we know everything is bigger in Texas.

I ran 5 miles on an indoor 20 laps to the mile highly banked track located upstairs in the Seattle Athletic Club. I could barely walk the next day. I reversed directions every mile but it didn't help.

Hi Bob, I did 7 miles and it is all trails. There is at least another 4 - 5 miles of running around the area, as there are some more trail loops around Garrods, and Fremont Older trails connect with the trails we ran. We start at Garrods because parking is way better than at Fremont Older.

Thank you Bob! It was an ambitious goal that I was hoping to meet since this was only my second full. I had it in my mind but would have been ok as long as I beat my last time of 4:32. I felt strong and ran a fairly consistent pace for the first 20-21 miles, slowed down from miles 22-25 and picked it up again the last 1.2. It was cold and my hamstrings didnt like that and tightened up toward the end.

That is what I'm hoping for. I like to imagine that it's a workout similar, in part, to having a tire tied to my waist and dragging it across a football field like an NFL receiver. Except I'm dragging it for miles.

Thanks for asking. It was a great race. Although it was a Disney event, I ran it seriously. It was very fun to have the that environment around us as we ran. Since it was my first time racing at that distance I wasn't sure if I would stick to my plan or if maybe I would break down near the end. Luckily, my training paid off and I had a great time. Now, I need to see if I can train up for a marathon. But, that is going to take a lot of time and I need to do a few more of these first.

Glad you had a good experience. I do think it is best to own the half distance before moving up to the marathon. But the marathon is a good challenge. Pick the right marathon. Find one that is flat and a fun course. 26.2 miles is a challenge enough. No need to make it even more challenging the first time out.

Heheeee, right you are, but there was no wind today and full moon still up before sunrise so it was actually pretty fantastic out there. Toughest part is the extra 15 minutes or so figuring out all the correct layers--that's the danger period because you can talk yourself into a day off!

I've been running consistently for 4 years now so the fitness level tends to plateau at this point. I liked running shorter races, mostly 5k for 3 years and now I really like half marathons - why? Longer runs = more rewards.

What I like about it Bob is that if you start at Alviso you have 1/4 mile signs starting from 0 and on the way back the same signs count you back down to the finish.

The timing company made the adjustment for the affected runners so the results have me at 1:49:32 net. Without the adjustment I was at 1:51:57, which was not a PR.

I couldn't believe it Richard. These freight trains are very long! This is a new course from past years and is much better than the old one except for the train. Race organizers checked with the necessary railroad people who told them a train was scheduled to come through after 8. Well, it came through earlier than expected.

I was in a 3 mile race years back where I was on track to run in the low 15's. It ended on a local high school track. Just as I was approaching the entry to the track a big delivery truck pulled up and blocked the entrance. I couldn't believe it. Eventually enough people yelled at the driver to move but it was too late for me. It cost me 30 seconds.

It was an incredible experience. I learned some lessons and I think there are some other races I will do before I do NYC again. The wind was though and despite getting on the ferry 30 minutes before I was recommended to get on, I was late for my wave getting to the starting line. That put me in wave two and fighting through the crowds from mile 3 till the end. Cool experience, second marathon in under a month, I am going to change my focus to Triathlons for some time, of course you need to run during a triathlon. Thanks for all you do for running. By the way, November 4 was five years of streaking for me.

Forced myself to take a couple of days off because I know it's what my mind and body needed. Have a 10K on Sunday and then half two weeks from that. Racing season will be in full swing!

Very smart of you Asya. Rest is as important as the training. Many people don't think of it as such. You will race much better fully rested.

Thanks for the encouragement Bill! I've been fortunate to stay healthy throughout my past 16 weeks of marathon training and hope to stay healthy and strong for all of my races.

Today was my first lunch-break run! I work at a Kindergarten and have two and a half hours to kill during nap time, so I changed, put my clothes in my backpack, and ran home! It was great! I could shower then return to school on the subway, and wasn't smelly! The run itself was easy, just meant to gauge how long it would take to get home. I had to dodge a few crowds occasionally, but that's everywhere in Shanghai! Can't wait to do it again!

Went over to do the Alviso loop and felt good from the get go so decided to do a progressive tempo run (each mile split faster than the previous). Not always easy to do when the fatigue starts to set in. Well guess what? I managed to pull it off. Splits for 8.8 mile loop were: 1@9:00, 2@8:17, 3@8:01, 4@7:35, 5@7:34, 6@7:31, 7@7:28, 8@7:20, last .8@7:07 mile pace. Last 2 miles the discomfort set in a bit and the mind took over. Light stretching, core and weight training afterwards. Overall pace for the 8.8 mile loop was 7:47.

Splits for 8.8 mile loop were: 1@9:00, 2@8:17, 3@8:01, 4@7:35, 5@7:34, 6@7:31, 7@7:28, 8@7:20, last .8@7:07 mile pace. Last 2 miles the discomfort set in a bit and the mind took over. Light stretching, core and weight training afterwards. Overall pace for the 8.8 mile loop was 7:47.

It was really pretty good for about the first 2/3, but it's all catching up with us now! I was happy to snag a 21:21 for 5K over the weekend, 12 seconds slower than last year. Mark ran 19:16 for 5th overall.

decided on an easy run to the farmer's market on creek trail recovery from the double 5k.. fun trying to find my long dormant sprint speed yesterday... enjoyed the double 5k but have to admit, I think the full double is the best (15k)...glad the hamstrings held up on the second 2k :-)

I liked the two sprints... very fun to try to get speed going. the wait felt really long as I've only done the regular double prior, but it did allow for basically a full recovery

Intended to run an interval workout with 12 220's in the 37-42 second range but have a glutes issue which made running fast painful. So I just strode through the 220's as best I could. 1.3 easy miles before track work and 2.1 miles after. Did a sets of 25 squats between every other 220.

Today is my 67th birthday so I wanted to celebrate by running something special. 67 miles seemed a bit extreme so it was either 6 or 7 miles. I opted for the 7 miles. Felt good considering I've been sick and haven't run the last 4 days. Didn't get out until after 10 AM because everyone was calling me to wish me a happy birthday. Temps were in the 80's which was a test. Stretching afterwards. Serious preparation for the upcoming Humboldt Redwoods Half Marathon on October 19th.

Hey, Bob-Thanks-It is supposed to be a fast 10K course but it looks a little tricky. Like Boston it is a point-to-point and finishes slightly lower than it starts. But also like Boston it starts out flat or downhill, throws in a hill around halfway then resumes flat followed by some rollers around 4 miles and then a couple of significant uphills in the last mile or so. You have to go out fast but keep something in the tank to surge up those hills towards the end...It'll be interesting.

Another day on the road-stopped in southwestern Connecticut east of Waterbury. Found a quiet neighborhood near Ragged Mountain Park and ran a tempo run with some fairly serious hills--didn't measure the run but it took a little over 31 minutes and the pace felt below 8 minute mile so guess it was around 4 miles. Felt good after 7 hours in the car.

On the road to Maine, stopped for overnight in Clarion, PA-ran up from motel to golf club and back plus other running around for 37 minutes--at least 4.5 miles but not measured. One long gradual hill of about a third of a mile-ran up that twice plus some short sharp uphills-so more of a hill workout than I was planning-supposed to be an easy 4 miles or so but not so easy in fact.

Excellent hills workout at Eagle Creek park. 8 minutes warm-up on flats, rolling hills and then slope down to bottom of 'bowl,' To the north, a flat 100 meters followed by a fairly steep 1/6th mile climb; to the south a fairly steep rise for a minute followed by a little over a half minute of flat followed by a rise of another minute--about 0.3 mile hill in all; to the east a more gradual slope but steady up for about 1/4th of a mile. That's 1 set: run up to the north and back down, run up to the south and back down, run up to the east and back down. First half or so of runs down is recovery, 2nd half accelerated to close to normal pace. Working up the hills of course. Did 3 full sets plus 2/3rds of a final set for an overall workout of 57:53.

Ran easy 9.2 miles or so with some rolling hills. First 6 miles felt pretty good...then from 6 to 6.7 or so not so good--esp in the arch of left foot. Realized I had slowed a bit so picked up pace and focused on my posture and stride--felt better after that-finished pretty solid over last 2 miles or so without further pain at low 8's pace. Overall time about 1:16:57.

I think so. Yesterday i would have said for sure. Today I ran 9 miles and it wasn't a great workout. I was going to run in a race on the 4th but my daughter was home visiting from Massachusetts and it didn't make sense. I'll do my first fitness check on Saturday the 12th. There's a USATF certified 5K in town. Pointing toward Beach2Beacon 10K in early august--then USATF 1 miler in Flint in late August (plus probably run the 10 miler too).

1.5 mile warm up and 1.8 cool down. Sandwiched in between some light speed work on track--2 counterclockwise (normal ) and 2 clockwise so overall balanced turns...Luckily only 1 other person on track jogging in outside lane. I ran in lane 5 for gentler turn and run a true 440 by not taking the full stagger. Speed is still there--89.9, 89.4, 85.5, 82.6 so quite satisfactory. Next week I can start on more repetitions of 440 or 880 intervals. Marathon recovery has been going so well I may run in a little local 4.5 mile race (don't ask me why 4.5) on the 4th just to see where my fitness for racing is.

Ran Charlevoix Marathon-very tough-, but not bad for a first Marathon. I was not in as good shape as I had hoped. So I went out in 1:34:55 (which I thought was conservative--as I was hoping to break 3:10) but I started to have some leg cramping between mile 20 and 21 but was able to slow down and recover...and then another set of leg cramps right after mile 25. Final result 3:18:37--40th overall out of more than 600 runners (I think) so not a disgrace by any means--just not as good as I had hoped. And i was totally wiped at the end-everything hurt but especially my right shoulder (rotator?)...but also feet, hips--Did recover but took a while.

It takes at least 30 days to truly recover from a marathon. 3:18 is very good. My first was 3:15 ( run in the dark ages ) but I started slow and ran the last ten miles fast. If you don't have the mileage or the experience it's a race that will bite your tail off.

Thanks, Bill and Richard. I appreciate the encouragement. After a day and a half of recovery and reflection, I feel better about the experience. I wasn't giving the Marathon the full respect it deserved. I was fitting it in when i could to try to get a Boston qualifier. The marathon could have smacked me down but instead just gave me a gentle reprimand. Next time I have to train longer and harder. But I finished the race and mission accomplished-got a Boston Qualifier-yahoo!

Thanks, Bill!! Doing a bunch of track stuff now its hot here in Houston .. you can get used to these short races!! (Still putting in some long training runs, though, to be ready for the Overland Park Double next weekend.) Broke 5 mins for the 1500 for the first time today (Saturday), which was great.

I know you have prepared well Paul. With all the speed you have be sure to divide the effort equally over the entire distance. Hydrate well during the race as well as take in some sort of nutrition. My last marathon I started out agonizingly slow and ran each mile faster as I got into it. Takes focus. Good luck my friend.

Thanks, Bill--As a newbie Marathoner, I appreciate the kind wishes and the sound advice. I am planning on a GU gel and drinking a bit of Gatorade before the race starts and then every 45 minutes or so repeating that. I've been taking GU during my long workouts and 45 minute gap seems to work well. I have been thinking about running the first ten miles slower than target pace and see where I am at that point...but I will try to listen to my body and adjust as necessary. With luck, I'll find a small group to run with.

Long Easy Distance (LED) at Eagle Creek Park organized so most hills are just rolling, not steep. 12.4 miles at a bit under 8.5 minutes a mile pace (estimate). Felt good. One advantage of doing the longer 20+ runs in prior weeks was that these 11-13 mile runs are starting to seem fairly routine. If Bob is right, doing the Double helps too, 2 weeks to Charlevoix Marathon.

10.2 mile run at Nisene Marks State Park with some pretty fast company. 1:34:00. Fast road and trail combined with some tricky single track and hills. Felt pretty good overall. Strong return.

8 miles at marathon pace was on the schedule. it was very successful overall in that I finished the timed 8 miles in 56:46, a little under 7:06 per mile. My aim was to average 7.2 minutes per mile or about 7:12 per mile--that's my target pace at least for the first 10 miles of the marathon. If the goal was to get used to a 7:12 per mile pace, it was not very successful as I never settled into a regular 7:12 per mile pace. I hit 7:12 for the first mile, but only by pushing after seeing 3:40 at the half mile mark and accelerating up to 3:32. Then I stayed right around 7:00 per mile for the next two, turning at 3 miles in 21:09--so too fast. My fourth mile was about the same so I tried slowing down a bit figuring I had burned off a bit of my 'need for speed.' But then I hit the next mile in about 7:22 (too slow) so speeded up to try to hit 7:12 again but overdid it and hit 6:58. Then I relaxed a bit too much again and hit 7:23. I did the last mile in 6:55 to bring it in strong. Oh well, maybe I'll do better at finding a steady 7:12 (or so) pace next time.

Tempo-type workout of 6.7 miles over somewhat rolling terrain. First 2 miles easy--around 8:00 per mile, next couple of miles same overall pace or a little faster but with surges of a couple of hundred yards or so. Last two miles or so at faster pace, perhaps around 7:30 or so from the feel of it. A little tentative at the start but after the first quarter mile or so, felt better and improved during the course of the workout. At one point was worried a bit about a pain in the left leg and then actually enjoyed that as it had been the right leg I had been worrying about before. You know you're an over 60 runner when you are grateful for a new and different [minor] pain. By the last couple of miles I was cruising along with no worries, though and felt good after the workout too.

Supposed to have thunderstorms all day so switched Wednesday and Friday workouts to be sure i could fit it in. Ran hill workout at Eagle Creek Park instead of 8-mile at pace (which I run at a different location). In Eagle Creek park there is a location I refer to as 3-way-bowl. The lake is behind you (to the west); there is a solid 90 second hill to the north (with a 30 second flat cruise in to start), a 2:30 hill to the south (more gradual than the first and with about 30 seconds of flat in the middle) and a 2:15 hill to the east (including a jog to the north uphill at the end--first 30 seconds is steep and then a gradual incline for the next 1:30 and then a steeper bit at the end). After an initial 12 minutes of easy running go into the 3-w-b, run up each hill in turn, turning round at the top and returning to the bottom...and repeat until you're done. Today I was done with 2 full sets and the North and East hills a third time. 52:34 all told-a good workout. I'll do the 8-miles at pace on Friday instead.

Last l-o-o-o-ng run before gradual taper for Marathon on 21st of June. Didn't feel great at the start [residual minor stiffness and aches from Double RR yesterday] and didn't feel great from mile 14 to mile 17 but there were some good miles otherwise and finished well. Conscious of my achilles tendon during the third full loop [each loop = 5.75 miles] but apparently did no damage. Still, best thing I can say about that workout is that it's over and I don't have to run another 20 mile+ workout again for a while. [GU Energy gels worked great--I guess that's a positive--and all flavors seem to be ok so I can rely on the selection of flavors at the aid stations during the race and not worry about carrying my own.]

I felt better today than I did the day after my long workout 2 weeks before the Double so you may be right. This is my first marathon so I'm trying to be cautious. I have layered goals. Bottom layer--finish the race and get a Boston qualifier. As that only requires 4:10, I should be able to get that easily, as long as I finish. My 'realistic' goal is to break 3:15 and not have the marathon 'break' me. :) And I have the aspiration to maintain at least an 87% age grade as I have for other races but that would require me to go a little faster. Pace will probably be a race day decision and then adjust as needed.

Ran an easy 6.0 miles today on a paved trail (major rainstorm last night so wanted to avoid potentially sloppy conditions on towpath). Felt surprisingly good after Double RR Indy on Sunday and 20+ run on Monday. Still have slight nagging pains at beginning of workout but doesn't seem to hamper much once I'm rolling. Was able to roll along at 8:40 pace for the first couple of miles and then averaged 7:40 for the last 4. Probably ran faster than I should but it felt fine. Now we'll see what happens tomorrow when I'm supposed to run 8 miles at Marathon pace.

Half-mile warm-up & then Double Road Race Indy--41:37 for the 10K and 21:14 for the 5K, adding up to 1:02:51. Hoping for a better performance but it was warm. Still 12th overall at age 68 [fun to run with the young folks!] and second overall age-graded at 87% plus is not too shabby. First in 60-69 age group and wound up on the winning Masters (40+) team for Ujena Fit Club--and a real treat--got to meet and race with Bob Anderson.
As far as I can tell from what I can find on the website, I cracked the top ten times for the over 60 crowd and apparently broke (or established) the age 68 double road race record. Thanks, Bob for a great new experience in road racing!

Warmed up with a quarter mile mix starting with jog then strides then speed bursts then a little stretching then more jog. Then 10 miles at (marathon) pace--aiming for low 7 minutes per mile. Early morning so figured first mile might be slow and it was--7:30 but then second mile in 7:15 and then down to low 7's. 71:18 for the 10 miles so average of 7:08 per mile for the full ten miles and about 7:05 for the last 9 miles. Cooled down with a 1 mile plus jog. 68 degrees at start of run and 77 at end so definitely warm. Fuel- a few swigs of electrolyte replacement liquid at start and sucked on an energy chew for first 7 miles--then another swig or 3 of electrolyte liquid and another energy chew. The chews work well for me if I just hold them in my mouth and don't chew.
Some extra stretching exercises and light weight work this afternoon but not enough to count as extra workout.

Half-mile intervals today along a dirt-packed canal towpath with milestone markers (in this stretch) at quarter mile intervals. Some shade but majority in open sun. Very warm--77 F at start and 82F by finish. Swigged a little electrolyte replacement drink before and after. Jogged a half-mile to warm up-included some stretching and speed bursts at end of half mile. Ran a 3:16 half to complete the warm-up. Then 2 minutes of jog [about an 1/8th of a mile] to recover, reset watch and step to line for 3:08, 3:08, 3:05, 3:04, 3:03, 3:08 each with about an 1/8th mile recovery jog in between. Then quarter mile jog followed by last fast quarter mile in 89 seconds. [I am including the jogs in total actual miles run.] Last real speed workout before Double Road Race Indy although I will do a hard [marathon] pace workout on Wednesday if all goes well.

Sprained my knee during half marathon on Sat. Was doing so good! Then mile 10 my knee gave out.. Still finished, terrible 2:27, but still think it's not bad for hobbling the last few miles! Still was so much fun! Now I find myself on the elliptical and rower for cardio and skipped leg day. But will be strong again soon!

Ran the Boston Marathon. Felt great and was very optimistic but had one of the worst races of my short 5 year "career". Felt good at the start but unfortunately around mile 8 one wheel fell off the wagon, at mile 11 another wheel broke, soon after the wagon flipped over and burst into flames. It was downhill...actually uphill from there as I dragged the flaming and mangled heap up the hills of Newton and eventually over the finish line.
So I'll get the wagon fixed, put the wheels back on and run another marathon next month in Vermont. And while I'm extremely disappointed in my performance, this years race was not about me but about healing a wounded city. And without question it succeeded. Congratulations to everyone that was lucky enough to be a part of the race. Regardless of the time, we are all winners.

Thanks Bob and happy I could actually be an inspiration for something John. lol It was an incredible event but personally it's been a tough 48 hours. Had such high expectations, felt great and can run every mile of the course with my eyes closed. Stupid "rookie" Boston mistake of coming out too fast (no one in front and 9000 behind me) and the increasing heat/sun was a lethal combo for me. Hopefully I can redeem myself next month in VT.

Ran on the streets of Hays 5 miles in 41:35 Friday, ran each mile negative the last one in 7:51. This is good because 6 weeks ago I had a TIA (pre-stroke), and the meds they put me on were slowing me down. I've always been strong at the end of a run, and the heart rate was low (you know) I was fatigued, and dehydrated (lots of cramping, & high heart rate). Looks like we have it about right, heart rate back down, and running strong at the end. Is anyone else on blood pressure medicine, and have some advice. I felt very old the past few weeks.

But the issue is I take it around 5/6 miles and by the next mile I have REDICULOUS heartburn! Then I'm fighting heartburn the whole time.. Drink water.. Ok for 1/4 mile .. Heartburn.. Drink water..ETC... Slows me down and it's all I can think about! Anyway, long story short, I'm new to this, anyone please have a suggestion! :) :)

Hi Michele, don't worry about changing your source of energy. Basically your muscles deplete their glycogen (natural sugar) storage after 45-60 mins. of any workout. Replacing it is simple, just consume a sugar product. There is a lot of marketing on how gu is better than cliff shot, etc. but in reality all you need is sugar. I've used gummy bears, hard candy, lemonade and other sources. Fat takes longer to digest so choose a fat free option. Most liquid sources also have sodium and potassium, the electrolytes that also deplete but not as drastically as glycogen. Hope this helps!

Sorry to hear about that (as a fellow Achilles injuree). Tendonitis or tendinopathy? The approach depends on what you are dealing with. And both courses of action always come with the suggestion to identify the cause and prevent it happening again.

It is a tough workout, but really worth it. My run times have improved quite a bit. I am very new to endurance training. Went from very slow, to not that bad in a very short period. I would say it's an awesome addition to my training and prep for doubles since I placed in the last double! :) it is also working muscles not used in running. Big bonus to help prevent injury! I'm running my first marathon in October and have 3 halves lined up. My goal is to run the whole marathon, not necessarily beat a time set in my head. My second marathon I'll be trying to make better times! My first us to finish! Haha

It's very discouraging to run the Big Sur half this past Nov at a time of 1:48, to struggling to finish the 14 miles at a time of 2:19. I was signed up for my first full in May but am now rethinking.

Plyometrics, also known as "jump training" or "plyos", are exercises based around having muscles exert maximum force in as short a time as possible, with the goal of increasing both speed and power. This training focuses on learning to move from a muscle extension to a contraction in a rapid or "explosive" way, for example with specialized repeated jumping.[1] Plyometrics are primarily used by athletes, especially martial artists and high jumpers,[2] to improve performance,[3] and are used in the fitness field to a much lesser degree.[4] *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plyometrics

Walked and jogged the Los Gatos Overgrown Fatass marathon yesterday in a slow 9+ hours as a recovery for Saturday's Double. 8000+ feet of climbing very steep, rocky terrain in the Sierra Azul wildnerness...only the Pike's Peak marathon in Colorado is more difficult than this, but I consider this good recovery training for Way Too Cool 50K in March.

Easy run after yesterday's double. Very happy with yesterday's result in San Jose. Beat my Pleasanton Double time on, what I felt, was a more challenging course (with a hill we got to do three times!).

You're probably feeling the commercial lure of nearby Santana Row. It sucks people in. You're running along minding your own business and the next thing you know you're at Ann Taylor running up the totals on your credit cards.

But as embarrassing as my performance was and as painful as my breathing was I absolutely can't wait for my next run!

Finally went back to the pool tuesday night after feeling like I had been through some sort of rigorous physical fitness test the last time. I got to swim alongside Danielle Z. and had a great workout. Only a 25 yard pool so I had to commit to a large number of laps to get me to half a mile of total distance swam. I am hoping that adding several pool workouts to each week will make it easier to get back into running and help me shed a few extra pounds in the process. If nothing else then at least I will be helping the lotion companies stay in business.

Interesting comment on weight and its impact on times. I have lost 30 pounds since I started serious competitive running about 6 years ago, which would imply a 1 min/mile improvement in pace. Looking at my performance stats, this is almost exactly the improvement I have made in that time. Of course, there is age to overcome (about 3.5 secs/mile/year), so in the same period I should have fallen back by 20 secs/mile in pace - so training is doing some good (besides the weight loss).

Cool. That's my goal this year, is to improve my pace. I met my goal last year of running half on a decent pace but this year is more about the quality of the run, not the quantity of the mileage I would accumulate :-) Are you going to the Feb 22 event? I will be there

After covering 24.93 miles of mountain biking for 2 days @ Quicksilver and Fremont Older, did run today for 3.19 mile at Campbell and legs feel a lot stronger. I think the bug that I have is already gone. Doing something different this time.....will start focusing now on improving my time for this year.

Wow, it's almost like rejoining this place was a curse! (Nah, just coincidence.) Can't run today, have my brother's birthday dinner.

Yay, Snow Cheap this wednesday! I think I'll have to brave the West side and join Fleet Feet Ridgeway for their friday Happy Hour run (I think the East vs West side thing is mostly bull, but I'm a nervous driver when going to new places), and maybe their Monday Fun Day run too.
Either that, or get out of bed early and run by myself. Which I'll have to start doing soon anyway, if I want to prepare properly for the Flower City Half Marathon (yes. Yes I do). For now though, gotta finish my tea and get my lazy butt to work (maybe morning workouts are a good idea...).

2 miles warmup, 8 x (400m + 90 sec rest), 2 x (200m + 200m jog), cool down 0.5 mi. Most of the 400's were 1:45 +/- 1s, but one was 1:23. The two 200's were 37s and 38s.
Ran Friday also: easy fartlek on paved trails at Shoreline park, about 5 miles total. Set my garmin for autolap every quarter mile, and chose different steady paces for the alternate "on laps" ranging from 9:30 to 7:30, with easy jogging for the "rest laps."

I see walking as part of the post-run conditioning .. I generally do 1/2 - 1 mile walk, then do 2-3 circuits of stretching, roller, sit-ups and weights for 30 - 45 minutes. Hopefully guards against injury ...

Weather should be near perfect, so a chance of a good result - it's also the US National Half Marathon Championships, so there is a great elite field, led by Meb K. New course, though, which may impact.

Short Story - I've been injured with a stress fracture in my foot. So, I've been taking time off from all weight bearing activity (or actually...pretty much all activity) up until two weeks ago.
For the last couple weeks, I've dabbled in the gym - doing some Pilates, light weights, abs and used the row machine (which only rocks my booted foot back and forth and has very little weight bearing activity to it).
Yesterday, I went over to the community center to use their pool during their open swim. My time spent in the pool consisted of 4 laps of kick board (forward/freestyle kicking), 2 laps of breast stroke, 2 laps of breast stroke kicking, and 6 laps of running in the water (no weight bearing and no belt). Each lap for running in the water started at 4 feet (I'm 5 foot 2 inches, so it works) and then went to the deep end. It took me 60 - 75 seconds each lap. I took 30 - 45 seconds break. I was in the pool, doing work for 30 minutes. Running in the water was actually pretty hard! I look forward to getting back to running, but for now I am focused on recovering and slowly getting fit again. :)

I missed it here--how did I end up staying away for so long? D: My sense of time is terrible as it is, so maybe I was more depressed than I thought; looking back, that sure seems to be the case.
Thank you Fleet Feet and the Winter Warrior program for getting me out of my unintentional hibernation! SO glad I finally "manned-up" (or whatever more appropriate phrase) and signed up instead of just thinking about how fun it could be like the last two years I tripped over that page. I think joining the Newton Running Form Clinic at Fleet Feet on a whim reminded me how much I like running (when I do it right, that way my back doesn't hurt) and got me to finally get a new pair of shoes--trail shoes, so I also signed up for the Snow Cheap race series.
My goals for this year are still a bit muddled since I've never had a good track record for accomplishing goals, but I've got more race information on a handful of post-it notes so that's a good start. Also, finally got my bike (it was my birthday present! [My birthday was in May :p]) so maybe I can do the duathlon I've been eyeing for years if I manage to get myself fit enough in time.
We'll see how long this unnatural optimism lasts. Until then, I will enjoy it. Okay, enough of my long rambling sentences with their multi-embedded trains of thought: First decision is whether or not to do the Flower City Challenge Half Marathon.

Thanks for the welcome back--and that is most definitely true! The bright side though, is that once you've opened the door, it's easier to open again, which makes the next time easier, and before you know it you're just doing it.

No, that was treadmill again, but temps are going to be 'nice' for outdoor running by the weekend. The paved trails will still have icy sections where they are in the shade. Really good for mental focus, but really bad to fall at our age!

Lots of runners have stayed or gotten in good shape running on a treadmill. And when it is cold outside, maybe it is the best way. As much as possible I like to get outside but then I live in Northern California...it was 65 degrees today!

I run with my 18 month old in a jogger and some days when I want to go further, she just doesn't have the same agenda. It can be extremely embarrassing when running along with a crying toddler on board, "I swear we are on our way home and mommy is going as fast as she can!" Although I realize the added tension can definitely make for a good workout if you think about it afterwards!
Today my time was 51:30 which is a 9:28 mile pace (my best for running with the jogger)

Bill: Treadmill is highly tedious, but I use it a lot as in summer it is generally way to hot outside, and in winter it is dark when I finish work. And it may have the advantage of giving a softer landing, and thus may be easier on the knees, etc. I do note I run significantly slower on it, though - contrary to what I have read. Happy New Year to you!

10.6 mile run out on the levees. Very cold going out against a sizable wind but fast return with the wind. Strong last mile like last week. Tough workouts make tough competitors. At least I hope so after today's run!

Ran and walked 8+ miles from 4mph to 12mph and 2.5 degree to 5 degree inclines. I hurt my shoulder moving furniture a couple of weeks ago. I've loaded up on ibuprofen with very little movement, it's getting better now. I could only sleep on one side, and woke myself up every time I rolled over.

Bob sorry I didn't get back to you before now, busy with work, and stuff. Shoulder is on ibuprofen all the time. I'm having some of my best workouts ever the last few times out. The key word was few, but the rest days or not working out days must be about right.

Had me a great two and a half hour tennis workout, but we did not come prepared. We got at the court and it was nice and warm when we began. But as the sun went down, the temperature dropped and my partner and I did not bring anything heavy to wear. It was not too cold, but the perspiration makes the clothes feel cold, anyway we did have a great workout and played a couple of sets.... ;-)

I looked at it as a "recovery" mow plus in exchange my wife made me chicken parm which was awesome! As far as the medals, it really was an impressive array especially for such a small race (~200 runners each day).

LOL! If you only knew my sensitive side Richard! As far as running, I had to do run/walk and ran anywhere from 4:30 to 4:59 but rounded up to 5:00 to go along with the 5 marathons, 5 days, 5 states, theme. On Friday, one of my friends hurt his foot and ended running with one shoe and putting duct tape on his sore foot. Ironically, I felt the best on that day and could have possibly set a PR but friendship always trumps everything else so I stayed with him. Ended up at 5:39 which was rounded up to 5:55, my PW. ;)

Ran 7 quarters @ 11.2 mph every other quarter with the last one @ 12mph , with the in between quarter down to 8 mph after a half mile warmup @ 8 mph. Did the 4.25 in 30 minutes on the treadmill then walked a two minute cool down. I plan to run under a 6 minute mile this weekend at the Halstead track meet.

It's really nice out this morning. I went to the track and ran 5 miles with 25 lunges at mile intervals. I also did grapevines, suicides and 15 sets of bleachers. No upper body today as it is a muscle recovery day.

I'm a little more than halfway into my half marathon training schedule. I am running my first half on October 6th 2013 in San Jose. The Rock and Roll. It should be so fun. I'm running it with my 3 running buddies. We have run many races together and during our last 10K while on a runner's high we all agreed to sign up for this half marathon. Today I ran 10 miles without stopping so now I am confident I can complete the race. I am sticking to this training schedule like glue because it is working. :)

I do like the Vibrams, and have considered them to be 'cross-trainers'. I have had them a little under 2 years. My first couple of runs of 2-3 miles gave me really sore calf muscles for the next couple of days, so I thought that was some training I really needed that I wasn't getting with any other shoes. Now I wear them once every week or two and for just about 3 miles. I have gone 5 in them, but that is probably the longest. I don't get sore any more but still think I am getting something good out of it. I start out about a minute per mile slower than my normal slow first mile, but by the finish I am a lot closer to normal pace, maybe up to 30 seconds per mile slower. Here is a private little dirty secret--I usually wear them on a day that I seriously considered not running at all, so then I don't mind that it is both a short and a slow run--at least I did something!

Thanks for the input. I've been using them to replace my flip flops and I also practice with them in the grass. what happen was, the first time I had them, I started slow on the dirt trail and got over confident, I run 3 miles with it and it destroy my heel for almost 2 weeks (I'm a heel striker). My heel is better now but not 100% anymore since then :-(

Gerry, I definitely recommend to anyone to start out really slow in incorporating the Vibrams. Sorry that happened with your heel. I think if you do use them gradually enough to avoid getting hurt, that your running form would improve over time and you would evolve into more of a midfoot striker which I think would be beneficial for the rest of your joints long-term.

yah, that was I was hoping for, is to evolve into mid foot striker. So for now, I'm using Newton shoes to re train my feet and so far, it's doing it's job and I'm slowly noticing the difference when I'm walking with my Vibram. I only run with it for now on the grass area. although there are times that I just want to give up and return them but I know that overtime, i will reap the benefits of running mid foot. Thanks Bruce for your advice and knowing that it would work in a given time :-)

I didn't get much training time in and had only run 5 miles 1 time before in recent history. When I was younger that was my normal route distance. Needless to say, it was great to do the 10k and test my endurance with the 5k. The recovery period was awesome. I am so excited about running again!!

Head for the Cure 5K today in Corporate Woods in Overland Park where we hold the Double Road Race. I did most of the course for a 2.8 mi warmup which was very helpful, then a couple of easy miles after the finish of the 5K. 21:09 today for Age Group win by just 4 seconds. It took a pretty big kick the last quarter mile to make it happen. Mile 3 was fastest at 6:45, then the fraction to the finish was at 4:24 according to my Garmin. I was pretty surprised to get that much speed, but worried that 2 guys in my age group were trying to chase me down, and didn't want to look back to see!

Bob, thanks--I felt like I lost most of two months training earlier this summer, but the last 3 weeks back close to normal have been a great help. I am signed up for Indy Monumental Marathon on Nov 2, but it's a flat course so hopefully I can duke it out with you on Nov 9--that would be a lot of fun!

Having been course marshal at two Double events I have to say that is one heck of a concept. Of course none of the front runners could chat with us as the ran by ( lol ) but the runners in the middle and back of the field were really great. It was fun to interact with them. The course monitors did a great job by the way. I must have high fived over 100 people. My hand is still sore ;-)

Got to the tennis courts at 500pm and began our hitting session at 515pm. Worked on stamina and cardio, which means we try to hit as many shots as possible. Working each other from side to side and hitting at all kinds of pace. It was 97 degrees, we hit for two hours. I wore t-shirts for the first 45 minutes, was soaked and then put on a light shirt for the rest of the time... great workout... ;-)

Ok; after 6 hours of yard work I ran 4 miles (32:18) on the track. Yard work is a good workout, but its not running. I was tired and my legs were hurting, and the deal was just run 30 minutes and go home. After an 8:30 first mile my legs started to work better, and it (the run) was one of the good ones; I was definitely warmed up. I need to be a runner every day, if I'm going to be competitive again.

I did my arm workout this morning, push ups, chin ups, pull ups, wide arms. No run. I have 2 moves today. Both are 3 story to 3 story. That means I will be running up and down stairs all day carrying boxes and furniture. Yeah, you can call me the stair master!

Ran the same 4miles on the track, but the body wasn't the same today. I thought I could run right where I left off yesterday at a 7:30 pace. The first mile was slow, and I got slower; my legs were heavy, and it felt like I was running in muddy boots. I need to run every day, you can't use rest days to get stronger, and faster. The mind is always the toughest opponent we have. I kept slowing down, and I was ok with it until I hit the 3mile mark, and I didn't want to run slower than 33minutes for the 4miles. Finished the run at 32:43, and I thought I could do it in less than 30minutes more base running needed. I've got a long way to go.

I decided that now that I am getting older it is time to get back in better shape so I joined LA Fitness which is a really great place to workout. I am doing general toning to begin with and then I want to gain lean muscle, size and definition. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Ran 4 miles on the track; sluggish at first but at the end I was running stronger. It feels so good to run with no pain.

Ran Joan Benoit's classic "Beach To Beacon" 10K in Portland,Maine this morning. Very impressive elite field including Meb K (4th), Ryan Hall (10th), Deena Kastor (7th), and Kenyans Micah Kogo (28:03)and Joyce Chepkirui (31:23) who won the race. Always nice that Joan Benoit is at the finish line personally shaking hands and congratulating most of the runners for at least the first hour.

Ran the PAUSATF Road Mile Championships this morning in San Rafael. Strong field as usual. Finished 6th 60-69 but was only 5 seconds out of 3rd. That is how the mile appeals to so many. It's a tight pack all the way home. Felt great but suffer alittle from not being the youngest guy in the field anymore. Lot's of fun!

I went to the gym for a couple of hours today. I have not been there in two days. I walked the treadmill and watched some TV there. Then if was machine training of the arms and leg and back. I followed up with free weights and circuit training. Then I walked L.B. after cutting the grass for 3 1/2 hours.

Friday was a hot one, about 95 degrees, but we still got out to the court about 530pm and hit until 745pm. We did take some rest, because we were doing cardio tennis and working on service game. Did not do anymore because I was getting ready for my match Saturday morning... good workout... ;-)

I was safe Bob and was constantly stopping for water breaks. At the 16 mile point I just started walking as it was too hot and I hadn't had much to drink for previous 5 miles. Fortunately at that point I was within 300 yards of a convenience store which was taken into consideration when I mapped out my route the night before. Even though I was extremely hot, it was one of the most beautiful routes I have ever run.

Welll had one of two of my tennis matched today and it was humid. Got soaked but at least I won. We met at 615 and began to play at 630. Had some long points at first, but once ahead late in the first set, I got comfortable and began to hit most of my shots. Took the second set pretty easy, except for a few mental mistakes at the end, but finished it off. Very good workout in the humidity... ;-)

I finally made it to the gym this week but I did a good workout. I took my time though and didn't overdue as much as I used to but I managed to do 5 miles walk on treadmill, 60 min. Vinyesa Yoga, 300 crunches and a few machines.

Walked 5.3 miles in one hour, the back hurt until I started to walk faster. We always need to keep our form, and the right pace makes it easier.

The first 1.25 mile was the end of the Dog Days Community workout where we ran a couple of steep hills - one of them backwards. Managed to hang in there on the hills except the last part of the last one. Very hot evening. The rest of the run was relatively flat but had a stiff wind going in one direction.

Five miles of walking. My leg is still not right. Went in for a sports massage. Seems like it helped. One way or another I will be able to race the Double on Sunday. However, not fast!

I'm with you Bob it's one thing to run with pain, and another to do damage; let's both hope for the best. It's tough to come back home to run when you're not a 100%. I love going home (Belleville) to run; I always feel stronger, and faster I hope you get the same kind of charge.

I ran 20 minutes and 30 seconds today. My HR was average 138 and I probably was running around 9 minute pace. I kept today easy, continuing my ramp up from being sick. I plan to run 36 - 38 minutes tomorrow. Today's run felt very easy.

My tennis partner and I had a nice hitting session to day. After my grueling match Saturday, I am glad we did some concentrated hitting and then played two solid sets. Nice shots and very decent points. We began about 515 and finished about 745. Since it was 95 degrees, we took a few more brakes than normal, and we were the only ones on the courts. Great workout!

Tough run today. It's been awhile since I had to take a 3 minute walk break in the middle of a run. Could have been time of day, humidity, wind, tired legs, or any number of things. Oh, well - the tough ones make the good ones seem even better!

OK I can run again, but no cardio after very little training time the past 7weeks. I was running 2 minute 1/4's for 2 miles then it went to 2:15 avg. for the next 4 miles, then went to 2:30's to finish. The time was 1:27:38; I was going to run it without stopping, but couldn't, stopped to get water after 6.5 miles, and was going to walk home. I talked myself into trying to run again to finish the 5k. I had to run by and away from the house twice to get the mileage to 9.3; our mind is always the toughest opponent we have to beat. I'm not sure who won this time, I got the mileage in but it wasn't pretty. This is what 90 minutes run looks like on a 60 year old man in 90 degree heat, and wind in Hays Kansas.

Well got to the court at 730am and began to warm up and get loose. We began our match (league tennis 4.5 level) just before eight. I was a little sluggish, I had to shoot a fashion show the night before. He quickly jumped ahead 4-1. I tied it, but lost the set 7-5, then I began to get steady and hit the ball harder and with control. I held serve to win 7-5. By the 3rd set I was on all engines and won 6-2, totally broke him down and exposed all his weaknesses. We walked off the court at 1030am. I was exhausted, but got a great workout. I wish Bob would give more points for the level of tennis I play. I know some runners would not be able to play 3 hours, much less stop and run as we do at the level I play & use the upper body as we do... Oh well, ;-)

I once played two games of tennis the day before a 10k race. Didn't think much of it. Tough game. Good opponent. Next day when I woke up I could barely move. Big time DOMS. I ran the race but was way off my normal times. Stiff, sore. Took five days for it to go away.

Francie Larrieu was a top runner at the same time that remember. Teri made the 80 Olympic team in the 5000; I believe? One of our first date she came to the door ready to run. She had to do a 10 miler, she said I could run with her as part of the date. I did; plaid shirt, Hee Haa overalls that was in style in "72", and my Puma's. The inside of my thighs; well it made a lasting impression

She had to do a 10 miler, she said I could run with her as part of the date. I did; plaid shirt, Hee Haa overalls that was in style in "72", and my Puma's. The inside of my thighs; well it made a lasting impression +reply by Richard Stiller Friday, 6/21, 2013 3:42 pm
I remember Francie. She was a Cindergal in San Jose plus her brother Ron was a good runner. I finally went head to head against her in 1981 at Bay to Breakers. Somehow I beat her even though all of her PR's were better than mine. Tough runner.

Nice going Richard; beating an olympian is good for the ego. I beat Dave Wottle in a 2000 meter devil take the hind most race in 1984. Teri was a Cindergal too; she left Kansas and me to follow the dream.

At the time Augie Argabright was one of the top women's running coaches in the USA.
Yeah, I beat Francie but as fast as she was, she only got better. Doubt I could have beaten her 3-4 years later.

After i finished my walk and hit the stop on my watch the stupid thing restarted and both the walk and the fartlek activity where gone I really wanted to look at this and fine tune the workout it was the first time I had ran it and it dose need a little work.

Even though I was hitting the ball much harder than my opponent, he was still getting it back. Several add games both ways, when it was all said and done, I lost 6-7, 6-7, at it was 1030 at that time.... wow, great workout and I was soaked with perspiration.... ;-)

After some sunshine, Mother Nature decided it was time for some rain. So, I went to the high school and ran the stairs. Then came home for the side leg lifts, crunches, push ups, plank and ended with stretching. :)

I went to the gym for a workout. I walked the treadmill, rode the bike and did some abdominal training and weight machines. Then I polished it off with a long walk with Little Bear.

It was good to be able to run pain free; ..3weeks from the Double in Overland Park. Cardio is down after not being able to workout for over a month. That's what we get at this age, so I'll make the best of what I have.

I met Michael at the Los Gatos Creek Trail this morning and I was planning on walking six miles. Michael was running 13 miles like what we have been doing the last seven weeks. At about the half mile mark I decided to try to run. At first it was not much but I kept with it. Before this morning I had not run more than one step in 13 days. But I kept going and ended up running four miles. In fact one mile was 8:52. My leg does not feel perfect, not even close, right now but I am glad I was able to do this. I ran another mile off and on. I covered ten miles in total. This brings my total to 35 miles so far for the week. I am a happy guy!!!

Ran the Marin Memorial Day Race 10k this morning. Weather kept everyones times slow but the competition was fierce. Everyone was there except Bob. At 5 miles I was 8th place 60 and over. With a solid headwind the last mile and .2 tenths everyone started to suffer so I put my head down and pushed with all I knew. Kicked with about 600 meters to go to finish 4th. Beat Porteous this time but Goldman beat me by 11 seconds to win the 65-69. Winning time for 60's was only 19 seconds ahead (41:46). It is possible to be disappointed in one's time and still be happy with how the race went. I was hurting big time when we hit the track with 300 meters yet to go!!!

10.5 mostly on the biking trails thru Overland Park and a little bit in Olathe as they border each other, 9 min fairly easy pace, a little humid, today probably like it will be for next week's Hospital Hill Half. Met a new running buddy, Steve Johnson, 50, will have to see how soon he signs up for Double Road Race, I think he is excited for June 30 in Overland Park. He is also running Hospital Hill next Sat.

This is now four weekends in a row my long run has been at least 13 miles. The first weekend after Boston I was still running easy but the following weekend I ran 16.2 miles. Then 13.1 the next two weekend and then again this morning I ran our Los Gatos Creek Half Marathon course (starts at Forbes Mill and turn right after passing the Hamilton Underpass to return). My time today was my best...I ran 1:44:43 and we ran easy the first 1.5 miles (like 9:02 for the first mile) because my big toe is still bothering me from Boston. Michael really pushed me from mile three to six. Always a fun morning to run with Michael and then have breakfast afterwards.

Felt good from the start so pushed the out (mostly uphill) to the 5.65 mile turnaround then pushed the return as best I could. Last 2 miles tough as I was tired, hot and the wind was blowing off the ocean. Afterwards while walking a recovery I couldn't help but feel some pride that I put the hurt on myself like that.

So, I have been away, but I haven't actually been away from fitness - I am currently working hard to train for a few events this summer - a ten mile race and a couple of triathlons. I am also training with CrossFit.
One more exciting piece, I just got some samples from Athletic Alliance - a Canadian supplement company. I am excited to try them tomorrow before working out!

Got to the courts at 745 this morning. A little hung over and a little tired, but that is the best time to workout. Today was a running, serve and rally day. This means I run for about 15 minutes, serve over 200 servers, and work on hitting the ball for a very long time. It all builds up stamina and wind. Plus work on technique and strokes. Finished right at 945am, great two hour workout....;-)

Hit the courts on Monday and hit them hard. I must say I was a bit tired and had not got much sleep the night before. But once we got to the courts at 515 and began to warm up, I began to feel better and better. We worked out until 800pm and the weather was perfect.

Thanks, Bob. It was good anyway, but that was a big, thick coat of icing. First sub-2 since I turned 40! 5K split to start was faster than my 5K race time, and the AG % is edging up. Not the PR I would have liked. Still hungry. Sore in all the right places. Geist half in two weeks. Not as crowded, but hilly. We will see what the day will allow.

Took the day off from running today - light week this week (goal - 25 miles). I walked to the farmers market, and did some pushups/situps.
Feel great after yesterday's run and this past week's mileage of 42 miles (running) and 5 miles (walking). Yesterday I ran 6 laps on the track - 6:43 for the first mile, then I increased my pace every 200m for the next 2 laps. First mile was meant to be 6:40, but I was struggling with consistent pacing. Last 800 was 3:10; think last lap was around 93 but I wasn't looking closely at my watch. This felt very comfortable and I was with myself the entire time. Thanks Phil for helping me and good job!!!

Preparing for my first 10K on June 2nd in Pleasanton (home of my first 5K through Bob's Double Road Race.) I am running the Rave Run in Silicon Valley with my kids May 11th, then the Hook and Ladder 10K, and then a 5K called See Jane Run. I will continue this journey throughout the year. A very fun way to stay fit. :)

Ran a very nice loop today from the Los Gatos High School track out to Lexington Reservoir and back (4miles). The view from the St. Josephs Hill trail was beautiful, perfect time of day. And we finished off the rest of the distance by running around the baseball field at the school. Kept an avg heart rate of 160 bpm, felt great. Recovered with a gigantic supreme chicken burrito from my favorite local taqueria! Thank you Danielle for the wonderful run!

Ran from Los Gatos HS to Lexington and looped around through the trails back to down to the HS where we finished the run around the baseball field on the grass. HR was on average 148-150; however, it did dip up while going up a few of the hills. I made sure to just take it easy when I found I went above 150, and I recovered. Felt pretty good considering the heat and my long run yesterday.
I also did push-ups/sit-ups when I got home. Getting stronger.

Thanks Bob, I was pretty happy to put up that time. They advertised a flat fast course, but the first half was hilly and 4 miles into headwind. The Boston runners who were not able to finish Monday got to have a special finish here and it was very moving. Some of the Topeka runners told me they are going to have a team in our Double and they were excited that Billy Mills will be here.

I ran at lunch today - from my office down Peter Coutts, meandered in the back streets until I hit Stanford's campus, ran down Campus Dr to the track, and then ran around the track and back to the office. Kept it nice and easy. I forgot my HRM, but I kept it slow so I imagine it was probably around 148.

Yasso 800's X 6 10MPH / 7MPH

Today I decided to replace my normal speed workout with something that is suppossed to derermin your marathon pace. The goal is to do 10 sets at 10MPH and and I have three weeks to do it. I was planning on starting with 7 sets today but 6 sets where pretty tough but will have to make up a extra set in the next 3 weeks. I don't have access to a good track so I'm using a treadmill at 1% incline.

Walked three miles at lunch and then ran 2.2 before dark. I have dropped a couple of pounds and I think at sub 3:30 in Boston is possible. However, running from the back is going to be tough. I am so excited to be running Boston with my son Michael.

I normally don't go to the gym after a photo shoot but I had to after todays shoot. I had a lot of fun at the shoot but I was so bloated from eating Kosher chicken the night before, not knowing its soaked in salt!, I felt like pumpkin. Anyway, I did a 5 mile walk on treadmill, it took 80 minutes since the last 20 min. was just casual walk but I felt much better after. I also did 200 crunches and a few machines.

I finally made it back to gym after a 3 week slump. I did everything but yoga and gonna try to go back for yoga in the afternoon. I did 4 miles walk/jog on treadmill so 65 minutes. I am not making progress there cuz of all these slumps but I am happy with what I did. Then I did everything else like abwork, machines and more machines. I did increase crunches to 300 now instead of 250. Overall happy with the workout :).

I usually run a half min per mile slower in the Vibrams, but today I just took it a little easier. Nothing was too sore from the weekend, the calves got a good workout in the Vibrams, so all set to start pushing through the rest of the week.

14.5 mile run on the newly paved Quadalupe River Trail. Ran south from Alviso to downtown San Jose and back. Felt good going out (some miles under 8 pace) but turned around and had to run 7.25 miles back into a good headwind. Some ups and downs on this route as you must go under alot of bridges. Under 2 hours never the less so overall a strong effort (8:16 pace).

If you can ever develop a technique where you can tie your shoelaces while continuing to run, you'll ascend to the pantheon of running Gods. Until then you might consider just double knotting our laces. It's a peasant level solution but it works.

10.2 miles on treadmill today, as trails still full of snow and not enough clearance on streets with piles of snow. I decided to do a modified Double Road Race training run--1 hr treadmill run (7.1 mi.), then about 25 minutes of weights, nothing real tough, but a couple of sets on 7 or 8 different machines, then a 5K pushing medium-hard for 23:30. Seemed like it made a real good workout and something to try again every 2-3 weeks. I badly need the cross-training with the weights--on the actual Double Road Race day, just doing stretching and staying loose will seem easier before racing the 2nd 5K.

Thanks Bob. So are you and Mike. Every mile you guys put in between now and Boston will make the end result all that much better. I'm only preparing for a 10 mile race but every mile I run between now and then will make the last few miles race day that much easier. Let's stay focused!!!

Walk-.3mi, Warm-up jog- 1.7miles, INTERVALS - 3@1.25miles(8:40, 8:41, 8:50), Cool-down -2 miles. The last 1.25mi(2000m) was tough, I probably ran the first two too fast. If anyone reading this is interested on 1/2 Marathon training, I have taken most of the workouts from "Run Less, Run Faster" older edition, page 86-7. This along with "Daniels Running Formula, Second Edition" in which I prescribe to the VDOT methodology value tables, assist me with planning my workouts as well...Go Niners!

I did a triple workout at the gym. I started with 30 minutes on the crosstrainer eliptical maching then 50 minutes on the treadmill. I only did 3 miles, was pretty out of shape from not working out for 2 months. Then I did abwork and about another hour of machines. At end of evening I did an hour yoga class. I am not sore at all yet but I am sure I will be sore by tomorrow or next day. It was a great workout though :).

Do you do the Tabata drills on the rowing machine? I've read about them, but haven't tried them. They sound simple in principle, but very high intensity. I'd be worried that if I tried them in the gym, someone would be dialing 911 when I got to the tenth one.

Hi Gary, yes, these were on the rowing machine. As you know Tabata training lasts 4 minutes and has 8 intervals in total lasting 20 seconds. Within those 20 seconds however, you are going all out followed by 10 seconds easy. Go all out for all 8 intervals where they should hard enough so it makes you sweat and breath during a interval, however easy enough so you can last the whole Tabata session. Go for it. Best to you..../r, EPR

Ran my first race in 2013. The Mission Ten in San Juan Batista, CA is always a fun event. Just after three miles there is a tough hill. I don't handle this hill well. I hit three miles in 20:12 and then drop to 8:30 for mile four (up hill). I make up some coming down the hill but it doesn't make up what I lost going up. In any case, I ran 1:13:06. I wanted to get under 1:15 and I did. Finished 4th 60 plus...first 65 plus. Bobby ran a great race. This would be a good spot for a Double Road Race...

1 mile treadmill run followed by 1 hour cardio core work. Heavy bag work alternating with a rotating set of targeted core exercises switching at 30 second intervals. We talked about the increasing interest among our members in running, and encouraged all to enjoy their fitness levels. We now have four signed for the One America Indy 500 Mini, and at least twelve more verbal commitments to participate in the event. While time on the pavement is a traditional training staple, the core strength we strive for serves us well not only as we fight against the effects of Parkinson's daily, but it also creates surprising base of strength for those who can run.

Went from 60 degrees to 30 degrees overnight it was cold today and I really did not feel like running a solid pace plus my normal rout was closed due to construction. The rout I ran today was a little harder then my normal rout but it was just a out and back. 3/4's of the last mile was up hill so it was kind of hard to beat the first mile since it was 3/4's down hill but I did get close and the workout intensity was only moderate.

Run felt pretty good today by miles 5 and 6 my leggs where starting to fill the workout really good. First 4 miles where easy on both levels the 5th mile seemed a little harder then the 6th mile even though my 6th mile was on the faster end. I feel good about how the start of the year is turning out and belive by the end I should be really close to hitting the goals I set as long as I can keep focused and keep running.

A tough run in harsh winter conditions, but a great way to close off 2012. It was a fantastic year of training and racing. I'm looking forward to 2013 and have already registered for 11 races.

You did have a good year. You ran 42 races including many marathons...I think two were under three hours. Not bad for a 53-year-old guy!!!!

I have never run a 5k before so this Sunday will be my first time. Is it ok to train the day before or should I rest? Also, should I dress for warmth or will I warm up fast?

I've been running every single day for the past few weeks even while having a cold and traveling. I am able to run the complete 5K now which is a huge accomplishment for me. lol I never thought I would get to this point. It seemed to take forever and I was never feeling like running was that much fun but once I got to the point in my app where I was running 10 minutes and walking for 1 minute , it started to feel really good. I wish I hadn't waited so long to get that far in the app. The turning point is definitely running for longer periods of time and letting those endorphins kick in. Plus the feeling of "I can do this!" I'm looking forward to my first 5K this coming Sunday the 23rd!! Should be fun.

69,69,68sec 50-60sec recovery.

Almost the entire track was block by soccer equipment, soccer players and chairs. The workout felt easy and that was the plan. But the people did not understood that we were running there hard and that they needed to move. Sometimes I think that this people don't have any brains. At some point we were running through the bags and around people, very close to them and they didn't care. I kind of sense that Cheyne wanted to collide with them in a good way, so they can learn their lesson. We were not angry but in shock that they did not care or refuse to understand that they have to move. There was plenty of space for both of us.
Its all about respect and love for the sports and community something that they need to learn. This reminds me of a friend that used to get really angry to the point that his coach had to bring a speaker to get the people out the way. His name is Yong-Sung Leal a true legend of the sport and a runner that runs hard to point of exhaustion. Back in 2011 I was working out with him at Chabot College where he run amazing splits for the 10k and 5mile run. Every run was a tempo non stop and very hard pace. 10k under 30min, 5mile under 24min. Sometimes he was running the last two laps in 65,60sec. No problem.

I am still nursing the sores on my feet. It has been eight days now. I have to get rid of these before the 15k on Saturday in Central Park (NY). I can hardly believe I only have three races left in my challenge. I need to avg 7 min/mile over these last three races to reach my goal.

Walked for 45 minutes at DFW airport waiting for flight home. Legs felt good which I attribute to spending 10 minutes in ice cold saltwater pool after the race.

Thanks Bob and Gary. Just hate constantly using heat/humidity as an excuse. I was in the top 1/3 of runners so I take some consolation in that. Plus I already convinced 9 other people to run at least the 1/2 marathon next year so I will be back to try again. Ironically Gary, there was snow on the ground when we left this morning! One day too late! lol

I am back on pace, finally. In fact, I am one second ahead in total. I do enjoy racing in Golden Gate Park but this DSE 10k course is tough the last 1.2 miles. I hit the 5 mile mark at 33:40 and I thought I had it in the bag. There was not time in advance to view the course. Maybe I pushed it too hard the first five but I just did not have anything left. My sixth mile was 7:47. I finished in 42:50. More details coming in my blog with photos...

Have decided to focus on an 8K (5 miles) that has a strong local following: the 2013 Juana Run on March 2, 2013. That's 12 weeks away which seems like enough time to get back into some kind of running shape. I ran this back in 2007 and am hopeful that I can improve on that time.

The Marathon in Sacramento was crazy. It was raining from start to finish and it was really windy. I got out of the bus and went to the Elite Tent and stay there until 10min before the start. I didn't warm up at all only a few short strides.
The first mile was really windy and I decided to stay with the leaders as we all pass the first mile in like 5:30pace the 2nd mile was faster and I slowed down but the rain and wind never stop. After 6miles the wind was terrible. My split were 5.9mile in 32:00, Half way 1:14:36, 20mile 1:53:31 and finish with a time of
2hr 29min 01sec.
I was very please with my time because the weather was a factor for a slow race. I manage to pass a lot of the top runners with faster times than me and my place was 16th overall not bad at all. I felt strong the second half of the marathon and I am back to racing well again.
Brian Davis drop out at 20miles and my friend Cheyne Inman with a PR of 1hr 8min 09sec at Humboldt half marathon in October and 1hr 08min 34 at Clarksburg Half marathon in November couldn't keep up the pace and finish with a time of 2hr 33min 24sec I passed him at mile 16 or 17.
I want to mention again that the weather was horrible and the major reason for many top runners to drop out and slow times. Anything under 2hr 37min was a great performance. And Daniel Tapia won the race that was a shock to many runners but he has progress over the years and he's a great runner now. I have known him since Community College and competed agains him as well.

Your 2:29 was a gutsy race. Also pretty even paced as far as the half way split was in comparison to your second half.

the important thing was that I was able to finish strong without slowing down dramatically. it was nice meeting you Bob, see you at the Double Road Race. I will train smarter from now on because Tapia inspired me with his win to be a better runner and good training is the key of success.

I was going to run a race today but I did not. The weather was just too bad to run a good time. But I did run seven miles with Mike about an hour later in the city (SF). It was still raining but the wind had died down.

Workout at Chabot College with Kyle Robinson the head coach at Chabot in Hayward, CA. and two runners from chabot team. its preseason for them.
I warm up 2.5miles easy and 4x400m @ 75,73,74,72sec 2min jog 4x300m 52,51,53,54sec 2min jog
4x200m 35,37,33,33sec 2laps cool down.
PM: 6mile shake-down run for the legs in Dublin CA. During this run I felt good and hopefully I can recover for the Marathon.
I will only run easy Friday and Saturday. I should be ready for a fast time but I am afraid I will hit the wall
again because getting out at 5:20pace could be a dead sentence. If I get out at 5:30 for the first 6miles I am sure I will be in a better position but I want to run a fast time and my ambition could be my downfall.
I know I am fit but I have no idea what I can run and I don't like that.

Take it easy, Ivan. You have a marathon on Sunday. You are tough. You should just go for it and hang on for as many miles as you can. When the going get tough, just think about making it to the next mile. Then the next one. Break it down. Keep focus on the finish line. Let it pull you to it. But don't run much Friday or Saturday. Drink tons of water on Saturday. Get a good night sleep and GO FOR IT!!! Be sure to eat a Glu before you start, one at about 10 miles and another at 18. The night before, eat some protein along with pasta. Just some thoughts!

Two races this weekend...5k in the morning and 4 miles in San Francisco on Sunday...by Monday I will only have four races left. Hope to pick up 45 seconds toward my goal this weekend...then I will only be 36 seconds away from averaging under 7 minutes/mile for my challenge!

2 X 1 Mile Repeats (5:50 pace) 1/4 Mile walk.
Just decided to get a couple quility miles in today for some reason I am realy tired and just dont have the energy to run hard. Think part of the problem is the jacked up diet I have been on since thanks giving part is due to the weather but I think the biggest part was the two weeks prior to TG week. I was running my slower longer runs a little to fast. I felt easy while I was doing it but I belive that may have pushed my leggs well beyond there limit. May take some time to recover from this.

Today I run with my friend Josh Mcdonald at Lake Chabot and we did the bike loop which is 12-13miles of trail running. Josh has a PR of 14:30 5k and sub 9min steeple chase and runs for Liberty University. He was in the roster when Sam Chelanga competed in his las year at Liberty.
Josh likes to start fast from the gun, so we hit the first mile in 6:14 and kept the intensity the entire run. This loop if full of hills and downhills. The last 3miles we pick up the pace to 5:29-5:50 and the last mile was hard and fast. I manage to feel really good and finish very strong. I pick up the pace to 4:55 to 5:20 up hill and 4:40 downhill last portion 4:45-4:55 and 5:07 last 100m. Josh couldn't hang with me for the last mile.
PM: I decided to go the CVHS track. 7laps easy and 3x200m 34,33,31sec 200m jog then 3x300m 48,49,49sec the soccer girls were blocking 5 lanes but I still manage to run good times.
My last interval was a mile in 4:42. splits 1st lap 68sec, 800m 2:19 1200m 3:30. I did felt a lot of pain but as usually I did not give up. Sometimes its all mental. Cool down 3laps.

Today I woke up late for my 2mile time trial with Jesse Chestnut and Nolan a senior at Washington High school in Fremont Ca. He will race at Footlocker xc trials. The actual time for the 2mile race was at 10am but arrived there at 10:25am anyways I only warm up for about 6laps and 1x800m in 2:42 to feel better for the race.
Nolan's Father was timing the 2mile time trial and telling the splits for every lap. He was a great runner and also competed in the Olympics trials in 1988 or 1984 I just don't remember and I forgot his name. I really don't know why I always for get names. So I hit the first lap in 70sec and pass the mile in 4:49 at that point Jesse hit the wall and slow down dramatically but Nolan stayed with me for another two laps and then Nolan's father said to me its time Ivan you guys need a 71sec lap, so that woke me up and hit the 7th lap in 72-73sec my finishing time was 9:46. My second mile split was 4:56.
After that Jesse and I did 3x400m at 67,67,66. Jesse did the 400m 3sec faster.
for my PM Run: I did 9.33miles easy with hills
total mileage 15miles

10 Mile Run (7:30 pace) 1/4 mile walk
After feeling like crap on Tuesday I decided to take a few days off. This was my first run since Tuesday and besides feeling a little stiff it was ok. Took about 6 miles just to get in the grove but over all the run felt pretty good.

Today I had a great day because I did the best Marathon workout of the year.
I started my run with easy 10miles around lake chabot Castro Valley Ca. very hilly course and
then I started running hard hitting the 1st mile in 5:28 and kept the intensity for 9miles. A loop around the lake in 52:29.
That's a very fast time because the course is hilly and not easy for the body. I felt so much pain in my legs but I didn't give up. My cool down was 30min easy for a total of 22miles. The hardest part of my morning run was the cool down because I felt a little light-headed about 10% not that much.
PM: 2miles warm up at the track and 3x200m 33,32,32sec 200m jog and 1x300m in 50sec total 3.5miles.
This workout show me that the morning workout was crazy but I still have my legs and muscles and hopefully ready for a fast marathon. I will not do any long workouts anymore because the CIM Marathon is next Sunday and I have done all the training.

I woke up early today for a 4.5miles easy at around 6:45am. I saw a group of runners at lake chabot my friend John and Steven Chavez were there. I arrived at 9:30am for the Elite mens 5k at downtown San Jose. Warm up for 20min and did some drills.
The race started at 10:30 and I passed the 1st mile in 4:48 and I knew I was on serious trouble and asked myself oh god here it goes again, I am going to feel extreme pain. I hit the 2nd mile in 5:07 and last split in 5:37.
My actual 5k time was 15:33 and my training partner for CIM MARATHON, Cheyne Inmar ran 15:10.
I didn't cool down but overall I am happy with the time not a sub 15 but I will break the barrier another time.
My number one priority is the Marathon in Dec 2nd at Sacramento.

I had plan to run about 10miles flat but end up walking 3miles with a friend of mine and when I started running I saw my friend Jesse chestnut (he runs for las positas--chabot college xc and Track & field) and we run around the lake which is a 9mile loop. I really felt tired and beat up as well. I have been training hard for about 13 weeks and racing almost every weekend. I know I need a big break but I have so many races coming up and that's not an option. The pace was about 8min but no speed workout for today only mileage.

8 Miles (7:00 Pace) 1/2 Mile walk.
Since I took off yestarday figured I would make today a easy/mod workout. Ran the first 6 Miles around 7:05 then started to speed up 7th mile (6:50), 8th Mile (6:15). The work out felt pretty good the last mile was moderate to hard but not to hard the rest felt pretty easy and comfortable. Trying to get used to doing negitive splits I have alread learned how fast I can take off and last the duration of the run without stopping now its time to see how fast I can take off and still get a negitive split. My plan is to get both sides of the house figured out and put them togather to make my races have the first and last mile the fastest. At least up to 10k its almost impossible to have that race style at distances longer then 10k and will be hard at 10k.

I thought they were odd age divisions, 26-35, 36-45, 46-55, and 56-65. No one over 65 ran it, and there were only 5 in the 56-65. I came in 25th overall out of 218 finishers. That was 8:33 per mile and I had a negative split which I was very happy about. Mile 31 was my fastest at 7:07 pace -- I just wanted to get that thing done!!! My buddy Ken Beach, a new 60 year old, ran 4:52, so he has the 3rd best 50K in MO for M60-64, and I have the top 2 times. All others are over 5 hours. It is not a highly competitive category, but I will take it until someone else comes along who can do it faster.
I was running right at 7 miles per hour, or 8:34 pace, give or take maybe a minute at the most over the first 4 hours, then pushed it in to the finish. A 48 yr old ran right with me for about 29 miles, then I smoked him in to the finish--he came in about 90 seconds later.
They had a marathon going at the same time, and my son ran it for his 9th marathon, and 2 of his buddies ran their first marathons. Dean Karnazes was there to greet everyone and add some motivation!

We have not been able to set up auto-updating on races. BUT if you list your upcoming races and then post the results as you run them, it makes it easier to keep things updated. That is what I do....

Mental is the worst thing you can do when you play tennis. Especially when you are playing someone you should beat. Getting cocky and lazy does not win matches, and that is what happen to me.

2.5 mile warmup
5k Race (19:20) 3rd OA
I had not planned on running another race this year but last night I decided to run one anyway. Even though I had a pretty hard training week and the course was a difficult one with half of the last mile being up hill I still did ok. I may end up running a few more this year at least till it gets to cold (below 30). I really belive on the right day and the right course I can hit 18:30 or better.

One more week of cardio rest for my legs. They are healing and recovering nicely! Still do my weights training. Legs - used heavy weights for building 3 sets, 4th set to failure. Pressed 190lbs on the Leg Press, thrilled with progress! Finished with shoulder work, since leg work releases growth hormones - make it pay!

First three miles where pretty easy the 4rth mile was pretty tough. I belive the pace was probally a little fast for my 4 mile though I belive the main issue is my leg strength my breathing was pretty good through out the intire workout but my legs started to burn out. I belive doing more hill sprints would probally help me more then anything at this point. Will have to make sure to include those onto Thursdays workout.

Just working the stifness out of my legs today spent all weekend waiting in lines doing paper work and of course my anual flue shot :S. The run felt really good today that the pace felt pretty easy basicly just ran out of daylight and it was getting colder.

4 Mile Tempo Run (6:35 pace)
1.25 Mile walk.
Today decided to do a true tempo run. The run itself felt pretty good it was easy to keep that pace but my legs did start to burn at the end of the fourth mile maybe due to the steap up hill sloap I was climbing. I don't think my heart rate was where it should have been my avrage was around 164 my target was 170-175 the only time it got the high was going up the hills. I really belive these runs could do alot of good for me on my longer distance runs and I belive they could help fill the gap on my shorter ones.

Including warm up and cool down = 38 mins cardio. Cross-training with the elliptical, waking and steep incline walking 10 mins each = 2.5K or 1.55 miles.

1 Mile warmup (7:20)
1 Mile Goal Run (5:20)
1/2 Mile walk
Today I just decided to do one thing and that was just go for the goal :). I picked the fastest 1 Mile portion of my normal running route and went for it. The first 3/4's felt pretty good and I held steady around 5:17 / 5:16 but the last 1/4 I felt my form starting to degread a little but still only lost 3 seconds and did 9 seconds better then my goal which was a sub 5:30. This was my last goal for this year now its just time to try and keep running while at the same time staying warm and hopefully not loose any of the prgress I gained this year.

Had my final tennis match of the season and now getting ready for the playoffs. We began at 600pm, we warmed up for a about 10 minutes. I was a little off and he won the first set 6-2. I finally got his game down and beat him the next set 6-2 and took over the 3rd set and won it 6-1. I am such a slow starter. Tennis is so mental, but years of experience got me through. He tired out and asked me if I got tired. I said, of course, but it in the mind, you have to over come, keep focused and hit away. We finished at 845, so we played about 2 and a half hours. Great work out, the weather was perfect. ;-)

This was one of three weekends of the year that I did not have a race. So yesterday I spent the day with my best friend from high school that I had not seen in 40 years. Dave worked with me for one year when I started Distance Running News. Then today Mike and I ran a 32 mile Relay from our house to the Ocean. I ran 16.7 miles and wow are there hills on this route. Nearly 50 miles for the week. I am going to be ready to run my last 10 races.

8 Mile (7:15 pace) 1/2 mile walk
Ran the first 6 miles around a 7:30 pace nice and easy. I started to speed my pace up a little on the 7th mile running it in around 7:05 still felt easy on the 8th mile decided to speed up some more. Looked down about half way through to see what my pace was I was running around 6:25 ended up running the last mile in 6:02 and besides my leggs starting to burn just a little it felt pretty easy also felt as if I could have ran another 6:00 mile. I think that last marathon has really given me a boost to bad I want be racing anymore this year :S

3 mile walk with Lucy. Knee bothered me throughout. I will be glad to find out Monday if I have a meniscus tear or if this is just tendonitis. The location of the tear ( if there is a tear ) will have a great deal to do with me running again. Can it heal itself? Does it need surgery? Will I be able to run after surgery? If I can't run going forward will I feel cheated? I have 45 years and a hundred grand on my legs so I doubt it. I have accomplished everything I set out to do in running. I may end up being a gym rat. Elliptical and stationary cycling. Walking as cross training. However I'll still go to "the club" with Bob and have a burger now and then. I'll still swap old running stories with Bill Dunn. I might even get an Eliptigo....

1 Mile warmup
10k Race (39:54)
decided to run the 10k today just to try and get my 6 mile goal. I ended up doing even better by breaking 40 minutes on the intire distance. The course was not an easy course and had some pretty tough hills around miles 4 and 5 and the tempreture was not the best either around 35 degrees. I ended up finishing 4rth over all and 1st in my div and this will probally be the last race for this year.

The second was a little bit less time and he won the second set 6-4. We sat down to enjoy some sports drinks at 8:01. Both of us were tired and soked, great workout....;-)

8 Mile Run (7:40 pace) 1 Mile walk
Tested Heart Rate: 150 (avg)
Tested Recovery Heart Rate: 49 bpm
My avg HR was probally lower then that for some reason as soon as I started to run my HR jumped to 160 and climbed all the way up to 171. May have been bad data while my watch synced up to my HRM. I have not used it for months. Over all the run felt great I sprinted the last .2 miles with very little effort and was barely out of breath. Defiantly a huge improvment from before. My goal for avg heart rate on slow days is less then 150. Last time I tested my HR was on a 6 mile recovery run at around a 8:20 pace on the same route my avg was the same. Another thing that supprised me was my sprint at the end. My HR climbed up to 167 but my effort felt the same besides taking longer faster strydes. I belive I could have ran a full mile at the pace I was going which was a sub 6 pace.

1 Mile warmup and a few srpints
5k Race (19:16) 2nd Div
Even though my leggs where tired and the weather conditions where pretty bad (upper 40's and rain) I still managed to get a much better time then I anticipated. When I crossed the first mile the clock had me at 5:29 but my gps didnt hit the first mile till 15 seconds later so guess I can't count that as my Sub 5:30 mile. I did start off alittle fast though my starting pace was around 3:50 mainly just to get away from the crowed and I also go to enjoy being first for the first 1/2 mile :) This will probally be my last race for a while but I am confident that I will be in the low 17's by the end of next year.

You went out WAY too fast. It ain't who's first at the beginning. It's who's first at the end. Your overall pace was 6:12-13. You paid the price. Still a good time but you probably cost yourself 30 seconds overall on your finishing time.
But the fact you hung in shows that you are strong.

Your right it was a little too fast and I new it would be but sometimes runs like this is good to test your strength. I have pretty much started all of my 5k runs too fast this year. My avrage starting pace on all of my races under 10k distance have been around 4:20 to 4:45. I find pushing myself really hard during the time I have the adrenaline rush at the begining of a race really helps improve my speed and strength. I can't get this during regular training runs but I can during a race. I wan't even think of being conservitive on a race until my runtimes get low enough for me to compete with the avrage wining times for the race I'm running. The avrage winning finish time for this race was around 15:30 over the last 3 years.

This year was more about building up then winning next year I plan to start working strategy more and actually run a few races with predetermined goal pace times.

It was just to nasty out side today the tempreture was in the low 40's and was raining pretty good. I figured it would probally just be better to hit the treadmill instead. I set the incline at 1% and went at it. I really hate running on treadmills but its better then nothing.

5.7 mile run. 2 mile warmup, 6k@ 24:25.1(9 seconds faster than last year), no cooldown. 6th place 60-79 age group, 15 seconds out of 2nd place. Didn't feel all that great which makes the whole race a bit frustrating again. It's been one of those seasons where I've been on the wrong end of the train! Hans got 3rd overall 60-79 after running a 1/2 marathon 6 days ago. He passed me and 2 other 60's in the last mile. Wow!!!

I think it is significant that you are bettering many of the times you ran last year. You can't control the competition. Just your efforts. To me this is a great run on your part.

Today my leggs where not sore at all but my stamina is going to take some time to recover. The first two miles I felt heavy but the third mile felt pretty good. Guess this will be a good indicater that I will need around a 2 mile warmup for the 5k tomarrow. Don't exspect a great time but I would like to keep my pace under 7 minutes but i know 5 days after a marathon for me that may be dificult but I plan to have some fun anyway.

I still managed to push through the pain and finish in 03:18:03 which is a new PB for me so can't complain to much. May quilify for Boston another time :S. I still belive I could have ran a 3:05:00 but I am sure I will have other opertunities.

Yea it is! I never really hit the wall but the blister made me want to quit more then a few times by mile twenty it reached its most painfull moment and I actually started to run with a limp. Just figured I would keep slowing my pace and maybe the pain would stop. I knew I would basicly have to start walking not to get a PB by that point and thats what motivated me to keep going.

Today there were some fall colors and leaves on the ground plus the temperature was perfect with the sun out. Went out easy as there are some uphills on the way out and hammered the return ( 48:54.68 out/ 43:14.63 back ). 1:32:09.31 total. Felt great! Ready for XC Race #7 next Saturday.

Tennis in the morning. Began with a good cardio warm-up at 830am. My opponent arrived at 900am and we began to warm up right away. We bagan at 915 and I had no problem putting this one away. He was a lesser experienced player and I just did what I had to..anyway won 6-0,6-1. We finished at 1030, I wore two t-shirts and worked up a good sweat. ... ;-)

Wow, killed my legs workout! Pressing more than my weight on the Leg Press. Took time to get here! Squats, glute work, cable supersets and calf machine. Sprints/walking interval on treadmill, covered 2.25 miles in 38 minutes. Would have ran outside, but conditions weren't the best. I'm fit to run the 5K next Sat, may not be 1st, 2nd or 3rd though! :)

Today I had my tennis weekly league match. What got us today was the weather. It had been about 78 degrees the last couple of weeks, but today it got to 92 degrees. We had a good 10 minute warm up and then played two sets. I won 6-3, 6-1, but I could tell the my opponant was a little off today. He hung in there and we both felt the heat. We began at 200 and ended a few minutes after 400. Good workout overall...;-)

I worked my chest (flyes, push ups, presses) with good intensity. Later, I did a sprint/walk interval outdoors. Since today was technically my leg "rest" day from weights previous day, my legs only wanted intervals. I have more chances this week to event prep for the 5K! :) Total workout time: 1 hr 45mins.

6 mile (7:06 pace) 1 Mile walk
I ran 1 mile around 7:20 pace to warm up a bit then ran 5 miles around my anticipated marathon pace. The run felt pretty good but my legs are still not 100%. If the marathon is flat and my leggs get to 100% by Sunday I am pretty confident I can achieve a 7:00 pace on race day. If not maybe a 7:10 or 7:15 one things for sure I will get a new pb this round unless something goes terribly wrong even if its only by a few minutes.

Double Road Race simulation - Bob, thought you'd be interested, that today I actually did a sort of "practice" Double Road Race" run during the Shoreline X-Country race. I didn't do the race, I was there to support Bill Dunn. So I ran for 46 min., on the X-country course, then took a break, socialized with runners, then ran another 23 min on the same X-country course. My break was about 15 min. I felt great for the 2nd part. So without knowing it I realized, "Hey, I just ran a practice "Double Rd. Race", so I was just experimenting with my training for this.

My legs were tired from the 5k race and 10 mile hill run with Mike yesterday...so I walked three miles before dark. Want to have fresh legs for the half marathon on Sunday up in the Redwoods...

Ran a very hot and humid 5.25 miles all around the University Of Florida. Campus is huge!
BTW, speech that I gave last night at Cystic Fibrosis fundraiser there went awesome. I had over 500 people wiping tears from their eyes after watching my video ("The Most Inspiring Video You Will Ever Watch") and helped double their normal donations ($15K vs 29K)! I also convinced ~10 people to run the 2014 Gainsville Marathon with me. Even if just 3 show up, I'll still be happy and did my job. :)

Ran the Berlin Marathon today and while I beat my PR by 9 minutes, still failed to break 4 hours, finishing at 4:04:59. Was doing fine until the last 3 miles where everything fell apart as the heat finally got to me. Yes, the curse continues! lol Well fortunately there's always another marathon in my future and it's name is Dallas in December where I will try and improve on my time.

Had my tennis match this morning the number one player in my division, I am number two. Great match, I got there early to warm up, since I had not played in about 10 days (weather and flu). Did a 45 minute warm up and it helped allot. We began to play right at 900 and it was close all the way, we finished at 1100. Several nice rallies, an array of shots and he pulled it out 7-6 (8-6), 7-5. It came down to a few mistakes on my part and some nice put aways on his part. I have to say it is fun to be 55 and play a 19 year old college freshman who was number one in his high school the last two year. We sat an talked for a good half hour after the match, Great tennis for both of us...;-)

Probably no way to tell. I checked the MM website and there are 109 listed but obviously there are a lot more. My "claim to fame" I suppose is that I did all 5 within two years (Chicago 2010, London and NYC 2011, Boston and Berlin 2012). That said, one guy did all 5 in one year (2011) which means he did London on Sunday (04/17) and Boston on Monday (04/18)!

Ran the BAA Half Marathon today. Since I ran the Berlin Marathon a week ago, I convinced myself that I would be slow so I decided to not look at my Garmin. Finished and realized I was only 17 seconds off from my PR ending up with 1:55:08. In retrospect, I could have easily pushed myself a little harder and knocked at least one minute off. Lesson learned!

Ran a nice paced 6.5 mile recovery run from Sunday's BAA Half Marathon which was a recovery run from the previous Sunday's Berlin Marathon run. So extrapolating this out, looks like my run on Thursday will only be 3.25 miles and then run a 1.75 mile race on Sunday which doesn't exist. Time to revamp the training plan. lol

20 Mile Run (7:45 pace)
6 Mile walk
The run felt good today even though I decided to drink a little last night. I am sure I should have been more hydrated then I was but over all it was pretty easy. The 6 mile walk however, didn't seem like it was ever going to end :S. I talked my wife into meeting me at mile 13 and handing me off a bottle of water just so I would not have to carry one.

20 Mile Run (7:45 pace)
6 Mile walk
The run felt good today even though I decided to drink a little last night. I am sure I should have been more hydrated then I was but over all it was pretty easy. The 6 mile walk however, didn't seem like it was ever going to end :S. I talked my wife into meeting me at mile 13 and handing me off a bottle of water just so I would not have to carry one. She was also nice enough to go down the road a ways so that I could drop off the empty bottle. Today marks my longest training run todate and also the start of my Taper down period.

Went with my uncle and little cousin to the beach to blade on boardwalk after church this mornin. It was only about 85 today as opposed to the 103 we had two days ago!! Great day for an outside workout followed by a healthy soup & sandwich lunch. :)

I went to the gym after work for some cadio walking on the treadmill 1.2 miles, bike riding, and machine work on the legs, arms and abdominals. Then it was a short walk with L.B.

Lots of good times by Ujena Fit Club members at the San Jose Half Marathon. I ran okay for the first 5k...21:05 which was 6:48 pace. But I just didn't have it today. I didn't fall apart but I just lost the grove. My legs seemed fresh but my tank was dry. I finished with 1:34:43. More details later...

I ran a 5K in 58:55! First time since I've been training for it. Considering my kneecap issues, I needed the weeks to build up my stamina for it; and to expand my training from pumping iron and some cardio to include running. :) Warm up and cool down 1:20:00 total cardio time. Later I weight trained my back. My 'light weight' switches from exercise to exercise, it's the 20lb DB or the 5lb DB (lol!).

9.0 miles running out on levees. 8.67 miles @ 1:08:41/7:55 pace. Felt good from the start which was a bit of a suprise after yesterday's tough cross-country race. Had just enough left to do 4 very steep hill climbs of about 100 meters each (quad burners) afterwards. Getting beat lately by such close margins in these XC races only drives me to push the body just alittle more (carefully of course). Left upper hamstring thankfully is cooperating.

A fantastic day. Perhaps the highlight of my running career. Ran my 100th marathon in a time of 2:57:17. This was my fastest time since 2001. Special thanks to my family and friends who came out to support me, The Valley Harvest Marathon Organization. And the 100's of people who wished me well and offered congratulations afterward.

6.0 mile run. 2 mile warmup w/ strides, 5k XC race @ 21:30, 1 mile cooldown. Very fast 1st mile as I was feeling quite spunky, 2nd mile very hilly so some of the wind came out of the sails, 3rd mile pretty strong overall but got out sprinted by a young 60 year old with about 20 meters to go. Frustrating!!! Ended up 4th instead of 3rd. 20 seconds slower than last year ???? Left hamstring hung in there thankfully.

My legs are still not fresh but I am hoping they will be in the morning for the San Jose Half Marathon. I am going to stay off my feet, drink a lot of water and start focusing. Walked one mile this morning, ran an easy mile on the track and pushed one mile in 6:32. It was a little harder than it should have been but that's normal...I really hope to run under 1:31 on Sunday.

Prerace warmup 1.25
Race 8K 31:28 1 OA
I had never ran a 8k though thinking about the actual distance the active 5 miler I ran earlier this year was closer to a 8k the 5 miles I managed to nocke 2 minutes off my time compared to that race. The run itself felt pretty good I managed to get a pretty good lead at the start running my first mile around 5:40 and held a comfortable lead the rest of the race. I belive If I was pushed I would have been able to run even faster. When I finished I was not to tired and it almost felt like a regular training run. I think I am ready to tackler my up coming marathon with a new PB time as long as nothing goes wrong.

Its about winter time so hopefully I will be able to just maintain what I already have until spring. I have about another month to improve but the marathon will prevent that but I think I will have a good jump start into next year and hopefull get my times down into the lower 17's upper 16's

6 mile Fartlek 1 mile walk
I decided to keep doing speed even though I race almost every weekend. I think a fartlek run would be a good replacement for my normal speed workouts. Seems to allow me to run a few extra miles and still get a few sprints in without over doing it. Today I just sprinted all the hills and one down hill which gave me around 7 intervals over 6 miles. The intervals ranged anywhere from 10 seconds to 20 seconds long.

A new month, a new round of workouts. My warm up is longer this month, since I have a 5 day split. I did board walkover pushups, flyes, decline presses, presses and pullovers on the stability ball. Didn't think I'd get to my cardio today, fighting off a sore throat. But I felt restless. Bundled up and power walked for 45 mins! Glad I did.

Run felt good today ran the first 7 miles at nice comfortable pace but decided to speed the last mile up a little. The run felt really relaxed even the faster mile felt easy but the weather sucked. It was sprinkling a little when I started then it started raining pretty hard I bet I gained 10lbs or more from water collecting in my cloths but I can't let the rain stop me now I have less then a month to prepare for my second marathon and I will be ready for it :)

It was sprinkling a little when I started then it started raining pretty hard I bet I gained 10lbs or more from water collecting in my cloths but I can't let the rain stop me now I have less then a month to prepare for my second marathon and I will be ready for it :)

Took the dog out. Great morning for a pre-dawn run. Unfortunately, I didn't get back out until 8. A little wind chill, but a good run.

Probably should have gone for the beer Gary! lol As far as the race, it was the most international race I have ever run. Very flat and the weather started out in the 50s, slowly got to 60s and with no clouds, felt like the 70s. I would definitely run it again if I ever get back over this way but will probably do Rotterdam or Paris next year.

9am -
2.5 Mile warmup
5k Race (19:57) 1st OA
1pm-
River Dash Extreeme 5k Obsticle Course. (45:00)
The river dash turned out to be really fun but after hundreds of runners had ran through the course most of the trail was thin slick layers of mud that was about as slick as ice. It was really hard to run but I manage to run all the trail portions, walked the creeks and did all 36 obsticles. Out of the intire course it was the mud pits towards the end that made me stop for a few seconds to get a breather. The mud was well over Knee Deep and we had to climb up some steep enbankments to get out of it. It was defiently tiring. Good news is I came out with no issues. Probally will be my last mude run though chanch of getting hurt is pretty great. one guy broke his legg in two places twords the end and nother split their legg open but over all think there where only a few that actually got hurt but the risk is still there.

Another multiple hour gym day, making up for recovery and flu absence. Back at the heavier weights (10 - 20lb DBs) for chest work, no triggering my neck. My light weight days paid off. My tricep superset presses went well! Abs - back to leg raises routine, only 3 sets to protect my neck. It worked! Cardio cross-training: 4 mins stair-climber, 16 mins rowing machine and 10 mins cycling. Nice stretch, warm up and cool down walks!

Decided to take a walk down the obsticle course today that I would be running tomarrow evening I ended up walking a little over 1.5 miles of the course then it went into some areas that I was sure to get muddy just trying to walk so ended up just walking back to the car from there. The first half of the course has mostly natural or slightly modified natural obsticles with a few inserted obsticles. The terran for the most part will be slipery mud with the exception of the starting line which will be grass. I think it would be really good to get under 25 minutes on this course with all the rain that we have been having over the last 3 days it will be a really hard course but the good thing is its not for time for me just doing it for fun since it was free hoping just to keep under 30 minutes but even that could be a challange. Think theres once spot where they created a 40' slide that dumps you in the kentucky river then you have to move along the side of the river to a set of stairs leading out. never made it to that obsticle but that could be rather fun.

It was another day of triple workout at the gym :). I started with 1 hour yoga then 40 min. cardio in addition then abs and machines so about 3 hours at gym today. I started to workout biceps a little too today. I have not worked out biceps in a few years because they build easy and I don't like how it looks but I feel like I need to work them out a little just for added strength :).

Very busy exercise day! I pushed through bent rows, good mornings, one arms rows, reverse flyes. Then with biceps I completed 4 supersets of various curls. My neck was feeling static-y; an old injury was being woke up. So I scaled back on the heavier weights during biceps. For my abs, I focused on my lower abs and twists. My cardio was a jog. 1 Hour in total, with 30 mins covering 1.25 miles jogging; the remaining 30 mins warm up, cool down and getting my distance in. I logged in 2 miles total. A weaker leg day :) still recovering from last week's efforts.

My energy levels were lower today, but I still completed my workouts. A ton of squats, step ups, more squats and presses; then shoulder presses front and laterals. My low back is much healthier, so I continued on with my plank routine. My knee felt a bit off, so I briskly walked on the flat boardwalk tonight for my cardio requirements. :)

8 Mile Run (7:25 Pace) 1/2 mile walk
Tried my new compression socks out after my 16 mile training run yestarday wore them yestarday evening and today at work. Went out for my run and my legs felt better then they ever have on a monday after a run. I could barely tell that I even ran yestarday much less 16 miles. I defiently belive these things will be a huge help in speeding my progress up. The run today felt easy on the breathing my legs started to get alittle tired towards the end but i could expect nothing less normaly an easy pace would be around 8:00 to 8:15 the day after my long run.

30 seconds faster than last year and exactly the same place. Porteous was 2nd and he's 66, Goldmen was 5th and he's 67 and Hans finshed 4 seconds in front of me and he's 72.

Beyond the Badge 5K to honor and remember police officers who have died in the line of duty, and raise money to support the education of their children. A moving experience: a short chapel service, remembrance of Jason Baker who was ambushed 11 years ago, and a run through Crown Hill Cemetery. The race included passing the James Whitcomb Riley tomb, the highest point in Indianapolis, so mile two included a little hill climb. Although it was not so much about the time, 28:22, AG 2. Thanks to cross-training at Rock Steady Boxing, I remain fit enough to do this.

3 Mile walk
Was going to run a 20 mile today but on mile 15 started to get really thirsty so cut it short. I figure running 16 miles at that pace with no food or water during the run was plenty good enough for today. I was 3 miles from the house so thats where the extra long walk came in.

This race was a little diffrent then most about a 1/2 mile from the finish line they started setting out stuffed animals off the course. I was running a great pace when I spotted the first one which I decided to run off and grab it had to be the biggest one to lol I never new how much diffrent it would feel running holding on to a 3 ft stuffed animal. At the end of the race you exchanged the stuffed animal for a prize (gift card for roadID) wich means a new pare of socks for me :). also came in first over all and recived a 20 gift card to dicks so maybe a new shirt also.

I was sore from the triple workout yesterday but made it to yoga class today. Usually Friday is an easier yoga class but we had a substitute instructor who was more of a challenge style teacher. It was fun to try to keep up but glad I did not have to do a full workout after that class. It was a good workout in itself :).

Only once I walked for about 45 seconds, due to a pressure build up in my shins. It went away and I resumed running. I've been starving ever since! :) And my throat aches a bit from all the intense breathing. Should go away.

With my trainer studying, I learned I was lifting weights too heavy and too slow lately. So I've pulled back the poundage a touch and increased the speed on my reps! Love this! My presses, inclines and bench pullovers went well. I'm careful to not drop my arms below chest level during presses as I learned this causes stretch marks and shoulder injury. My triceps burned! I was able to return to my plank routine. But I couldn't put the walking planks back in yet, it stresses that healing area on my low back.

Practice makes a good day of workout. We began to hit at 515, it was 87 degrees, so that is cool for us. We worked on several strokes, game situation type. Wishes allows for hitting one ball for at least 20-30 times each one of us, so 40-60 shots. Anyway, I got drenched and felt great, not to hot and just right. We were getting off the court at 735pm. Loved it...;-)

4 X 1/4 Mile Jog/Sprint (2 Miles)
1 X 1/2 Mile Sprint 1/4 Mile Cool Down (3/4 Miles)
1 Mile Cool Down (7:20)
1/2 Mile Walk
Today decided to do something diffrent with my interval workout. Instead of creating splits for each interval I decided that my time should stay under 7 minutes at the end of each mile. So the slower the cool down run the faster the interval run. Not sure how fast my interval runs where but I do know my cool down runs where around a 8:20 pace and I managed to get all my mile splits around 6:50. It really didn't feel like a hard fast pace but I do belive the interval pace was around 6 or maybe alittle lower will have to wait till I get the data uploaded to analyze. Over all felt good to strech my leggs out and I feel ready to tackle my next 5k this weekend and possibly get another PB or at least close to my old one.

giving my upper body a break and completed a not so hard workout for my lower body. Eric says I need to give my body some breaks so I will probably be running the rest of the week.

With warm up and cool down included, I finished my cardio in 45 mins. I jogged, sprinted and brisk walked in intervals. Because of my quick heavy leg press exercise yesterday, my legs were feeling achy today. So I didn't press it. But I managed 2.85 miles nonetheless!

8 Mile Declining Pace (7:27 1st Mile -> 6:35 Last Mile) 7:08 avg
1/4 Mile walk
Did not get to run this weekend due to field training and lack of showers so going to make up for it this week. The run today felt really good and only felt moderatly hard. I ran the last two miles under 7:00 and belive I could have kept the pace around 6:40 for another two to three miles. My slowest mile was the first mile and each mile was faster then the previous with the exception of mile 5 I ran it a little slower then mile 4 as a resting pace but really picked up the pace with very little effort for the last three. The last time I ran 8 miles this fast was a few weeks before my first marathon and it was not nearly as easy.

I needed a good run. I wanted to go 11 miles but I just did not get enough sleep last night and I was tired. So instead of pushing it I ran an easy six miles and pushed the last mile (7:01). I can hold that pace for ten miles I think at the end of the month...at least that is my plan.

I started with an steep incline brisk walk on the t-mill. 5K Cross-training. Time in over 1 hr, but including warm up and cool down. Distance: 3 miles! I got back on the horse with my regular back training. I used the tips my physical therapist gave me about posture and abs tight - I feel pretty good! With studying my trainer's text, I don't feel bad taking the weight down a notch as needed for my biceps. But I still pushed up to 15lb dumbbells. My hanging leg raises are going beautifully. My intensity is high! Tonight I'm going to spend 15 mins in the steam room, to try to off-set any DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness).

Well if I had not been a slow starter, I could have finished earlier. But instead, I was down 5-1, then tied it 5-5 then lost the tiebreak and first set 6-7 (4-7 in the tiebreak). Then I woke up and began to concentrate and won 6-0, 6-1 respectively the next two sets. We began at 630 and finished at 845. Overall a great workout...;-)

With yesterday's treatment by the physical therapist, I had difficulty performing many of my drop sets on my bench press moves. But I managed! Just with a lighter weight than expected. Like the 10 - 20lb dumbbells instead of pushing higher. My triceps went great. Mid way through, I realized I should switch from dumbbells to the barbells for my lying extensions. Word! Worked beautifully. I'm temporarily hi-jacking my regularly scheduled abs routine involving planks, to accommodate my low back. So I did plenty of grueling hanging leg raises and weighted crunches.

I ran 10k this morning. Not fast however. I am leaving in the morning for Disneyland with the family. No race this weekend. But I still have to get in 15 miles over the next few days. Always tough on trips but I will figure it out. I think this is my third weekend of the year without a race. I am doing four doubles (two races on the same day) and that is why I have been able to take off a few weekends. Going to be a fun trip...

2.5 Mile warmup
5K race (19:46)
I had not ran this varation of the course before and I new on my warmup that this would be a hard course. The first 1/4 mile of the race is uphill then it levels off a little then starts to climb agin. It was a out and back course with most of the out being up hill with a few down hills and flats. I really messed up going out because I was trying to keep my first mile around the same time as my previous two races. I was able to keep the first mile around 5:50 but after that my legs just could not keep the pace anymore and I started to loose alot of time. I still managed to keep it below 20 but it was pretty hard to do and when I hit the finish line I was exuasted. Guess I should learn to stratigize a bit on diffrent course lol. Still got first in my Age group so thats a plus :).

Yea my leggs where still kind of tired from the previous weeks I Know I can only improve so much before I have to take a step back to recover. I have already went fare beyond my goal yea so I am still pretty happy with my time. I have to say though I don't think I have ever been so tired after a race on the third mile I was actually thinking of walking thats the first time I have though of that since the half I ran earlier this year. The thing that kep me going was the fact that I really wanted to keep my time under 20 minutes and I knew If I didn't stop I would make it. I am debating running next weekend the only reason I may run a race is because I have drills the weekend after I may just pus on until drill weekend then use that as a race break. Have not really decided yet. I know racing has become sort of a addiction for me not sure I do know this if I race my only goal will be to keep it below 20 think that should be easy enough to do even on a bad day now.

If your racing and speed work consistently top 10% of your weekly miles on a rolling average, you'll eventually tank.

I woke with problems in my low back, it caused trouble bending and getting up. But being the athlete I am, I trudged over to the gym to see what I could do. Unable to complete my workout as prescribed by my trainer, too painful to perform bent rows, face down incline rear flyes, etc. I amended as needed using the big machines instead of free weights. The assisted pull up machine shot pain up my erector spinae - so I dropped to simple lat pull downs. No prob! Biceps were good. Again with abs I had to swap exercises. No plank routine today, so I did hanging leg raises, weighted crunch machine and weighted twists for obliques. Physical Therapist appt tomorrow!

Up at 5:15am and worked out at the 6am Strength Training class by Amanda! It included some cardio introvols along with some circuit training for a overall workout, one hour. Personal training from Ajay. He helped me with some wrist strengthening because I'm not sure my wrist has recovered to 100% from when I fractured it last March. I continued for a full hour of more weight and some cardio on the rower.

6.2 miles running. 2.25 mile warmup w/ strides. 5k cross country race @ 22:18. .75 mile cooldown run. 7:10 pace. One of the toughest xc courses I've ever run. I'd not run this course before so the warmup run was a bit of a shock but I'm glad I knew what was coming before hand. Course started out with a quarter mile of grass absolutely solid with gopher holes ( a sprained ankle just waiting to happen ). Someone on top of that decided to water that grassy area before the race to make sure we had plenty of mud stuck to our shoes by the time we reached the dirt trail. Another quarter mile of heavy shoes before the mud came off, followed by a cement culvert you had to negotiate just before a half mile climb the 1st half of which was rather steep. 1st mile split after all that- 7:29. 2nd mile started with a slight downhill followed by a sharp turn up a ridiculously steep quarter mile hill followed by a steep downhill followed by another hill. End of 1st loop followed by a second loop in the opposite direction that was moderately rolling which included the 2nd mile mark ( I didn't even bother looking at this stage ). We finally hit a nice downhill which was the section we 1st went up followed by a long sweeping bend back to the finish which only had two slight ups in it. Whew!! Was 3rd in my age group in a tough field which took some of the sting out of my legs afterwards. Anybody want to run cross-country?

Cardio: I cross-trained to prep for the Cabo Ujena 5K run/walk. 39 mins total, including warm up, exercises and cool down on the elliptical with increasing resistance. My legs routine involves a ton of different types of squats and step ups. I like the plie squat with heel lift! After legs, I worked my shoulders with drop sets - medium heavy. But for this precision work, a lighter weight is ok. I worked my abs with various types of planks. Considering I have a small (tendon?) muscle pull on my lower back lately, I completed my abs astonishingly well!

Big day (for me). Ran 55 minutes on the roads and then circled Foothill doing 10x200 (100 jog) striders.
With a walking warm down afterwards, did a total of 75 minutes. Weather was spectacular. 60's, sunny and very little wind.

It was, Richard! The Achilles didn't like the long run sadly. It swelled up and is very tender now. I am wondering whether it needs more time and trying to train for CIM in December is just too soon? Maybe I can stick to shorter distances and ease into it more slowly? This injury is persistent :-( Just when you think all is well, it presents itself all swollen again.

Another light day = 2.5 mi jog. After my 50 mile week, the reality hit that this was too much too soon, or perhaps just too much. Felt OK, but could see the clouds forming (low energy, etc.)

7.5 miles running. 1.5 mile warmup with strides, 7km x-c race @ 29:01, 1.5 mile cooldown run. Felt good enough but not racey like 2 weeks ago. Never the less I was 20 seconds faster than last year. 3rd place 60-69 with 1st a good solid 1 minute ahead but 2nd place was only 8 seconds ahead ( passed me about 1/2 way ). Hans Schmidt dogged me the whole way and was only 1 second behind at the finish. What an animal!!!

Barry, Rich was correct in saying they are all on different courses all over Northern California. They also range in difficulty from moderately hilly to semi-insane ( Presidio ). Also the distances range from 5k to 10k. Tomorrows race is 8k on the same course that was used for the World Veterans Games in Sacramento recently. Some courses have deep sand, logs to jump over, grass, steep ups and downs. Not for the faint of heart!! I love it.

Fianlly got to play some tennis after about a week. We began at 515pm. It was about 96 degrees, but slightly over cast and windy. Made it easier to tolerate the heat. We hit and did not play a match. This way we could work on our strokes and hit more balls, in a match you hit less. Timing was a little off, but maneged to get it back and had a great session, we were very tired when we finished....;-)

Head for the Cure 5K today in Corporate Woods in Overland Park KS. Over 4000 participated in a light mist, 70 degrees and humid. About half were walking or jogging to support the charity. I was trying for a fast time, as I have gone sub-20 on this course 2 years ago. Finished in 20:11 which was good for 2nd in M60-64, the winner passed me with 3/4 mi to go and finished in 19:59. Not having done very much speed work in training, I was going at full throttle when he went by, and I had no answer. 27th place overall out of around 2100 who were timed. Mile 2 has a hill, but not steep, otherwise a fairly flat fast course.

Bill, it's a trail on the other side of Page Mill from the Dish. Although it has "Creek" in its name, there's no water in sight. :) It only has a short section of "trail" which is dirt and gravel. The rest is bike path and road. I like it as an alternative to the Dish. This web page has one loop, that I run parts of. http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=1724271

5k Warmup Testing the rout
5k Race 2nd OA, 1st AG, FT: 18:56 New pb :)
The elevation chart for this course was off it mist one big rolling hill at the very begininig of the course which was kind of steap going out and around .1 miles long but was about half the length on the way back and alot steaper. I managed to power up the hill pretty fast but burned my self out doing it. I almost cought 1st place coming up the hill but going back down the other side he managed to get his lead back. Just happy to get the time I got on the course. The bulk of the course was mostly flat so that defiently helped. Wander if its to much to get a sub 18 this year? I will sure give it a shot...

I managed to power up the hill pretty fast but burned my self out doing it. I almost cought 1st place coming up the hill but going back down the other side he managed to get his lead back. Just happy to get the time I got on the course. The bulk of the course was mostly flat so that defiently helped. Wander if its to much to get a sub 18 this year? I will sure give it a shot...

Steven, congrats on the new PB! If you can find a flatter course and cooler temps, it wouldn't surprise me if you challenged sub-18.

7:48 overall pace, some speedups, lots of cruising, then the one big half mile uphill--you would handle it just fine! Go easy on that hammy for awhile.

Had a full day of work and editing. But it was easy and the time went fast. Got some serious deals our to the way, businss wise and hit the tennis courts at 500pm. It was hot, but not too hot. My partner had to leave by seven, so we cardio hit for 90 minutes. Got soaked and was tired, took two short breaks to bring our body temperature down. But great little workout...;-)

Back on track this week with workouts and my body is really feeling the effects. Last night's group run of 5 miles was nice, and I've signed up for a really exciting race on Labor Day. "Conquer the bridge" is a 5.3 mile race over the Vincent Thomas Bridge which links the cities of Long Beach and San Pedro here in SoCal. It's an amazing suspension bridge which will be killer on the quads I'm sure!

Yea I never win any money wasnt much but did cover the entry fee :) I actually got lucky some of the faster xc runners didn't show up so that only left a few fast runners to compete with. I was not fare behind 2nd but honestly dont think I would have been able to pass him even if I did catch up My legs where starting to get the burning sensation. I hope to get down in the 18's by this fall and attempt to keep it through the winter. If I do next years goal will be sub 17. It would be alsome to get into the 16 minute rang and I can actually see it now. When I started just thinking of running that fast for 3 miles seemed impossable but now it dose seem to be in reach. I know the first two miles where pretty easy on this race ran a 5:45, 6:08 but the third mile is what got me mainly because of my legs. I did notice my last .1 miles was in the low 5:00 pace range and I didn't even feel like a sprint. I can tell a huge diffrence from when I started.

Eventually you just have run consistent higher miles. I was under 17 in my first 5k on 35-40 mpw but it took 60-70 mpw to get under 16. Of course we're all different but speed work just didn't get me there. It was miles.

I only do speed work once a week with the exception of my race wich could be considered a speed workout also I suppose. I am building my base back up had it up to 50 before I ran my marathon ended up dropping all the way down to less then 20 after the marathon and started building back up. Over the next few weeks I plan to be up around 60 and I have even considered running twice a day a few days a week to achive this. Need to get the miliage back up to prepare for my second marathon this fall.

Well, best of luck. To be good, really good you need to keep your mikes up at 60 year round except for a week or two after marathons. By the way, it's the marathons that will shorten your running career. One a year is enough. Get faster at the shorter distances and your marathon will be faster.

8.0 miles running. 2.25 mile warmup w/strides, 4 mile cross-country race. 1.75 mile cooldown. Race felt great even though the 1st mile is a real grind ( steep, rocky, crowded and warm ), 2nd mile is uphill also but not as bad. After the turn around and a short time to recover it is a fast downhill, especially the last mile ( tricky footing ). 21 seconds faster than last year and managed to keep the pace under 7 minutes. Strong field!

This was my first time doing a Sunday yoga class, it was a slower version so good to learn new poses and techniques. After that I did cardio, 400 calories, and and a few machines. I am doing new machine for side and upper back, called the Bilateral Lat, its the same as the Unilateral Lat except you can do both sides at same time so I like it better :).

Jogged Matadero Creek Trail: 10mi@12:15/so including the 6 mi r. t. from home to get there. 800 ft elevation gain with some dirt/gravel paths. Saw only 4 people/so; since the sun was setting, kept a watchful eye out for rattlers and other critters. Nice route, will do it again.

11.3 mile run on my favorite Waddell Creek Trail w/ redwoods, flowing creek, rolling hills. Warm. Ran 1:33:29 (49:48 out,43:41 back ). Felt fairly decent overall considering yesterday's effort. Light stretching.

I wasn’t able to post my workout the past few days as I was driving back down to OC. So my workout once I got here was pretty awesome, despite being excruciatingly HOT!! Played some beach volleyball at Huntington Beach with some old friends I haven’t seen in years! Even though it was 100 degrees, it was great b/c between each set, we took a dip in the ocean... So happy to be back home!! <3 <3

Today, I did another hour yoga class, lots of new hard poses I could not do but a good class and I was careful not to hurt my neck again. Then I did an hour upper body workout and abs. I had to skip cardio today because of sore legs from yesterday. I tried though for about 3 minutes but couldn't handle the sore tight legs so hopefully tomorrow I can do that...

Next race is this Saturday at UCSC Campus. A 4 mile cross-country race that is mostly uphill going out and downhill coming back. I've managed to run well here in the past. As for the strides, the key workouts are the Wednesday and Saturday Fartlek intervals. The strides are just to keep my stride length comfortable. Good job in Falmouth under less than ideal conditions.

It consists of a 200 meter row, plank, squat, bending squat, and pushups. I really did well so I will have to work hard to improve! 1 star is the losest and 5 star was the highest and I aveargd 3 star. No bad! My second hour was with my trainer Ajay and we did a lot of cross training concentrating on some overal stretch/strength movements and core work.

I really bombed my tennis match today. I really should have beaten my opponant, but my mind set was not there like it should have been. Everytime I got cocky and comfortable he came back and I had problems mentaly recovering. Never got a full groove, but its my fault for not concentrating and staying with my game, lost 5-7, 6-7. We played 2 and a half hours. Good workout anyway...;-)

Ran the Dammit Run this AM.
Rugged 5 miler with 680 ft. elevation gain, mostly on trails/dirt.
This was a fun/challenging event.
My time was 51:11, which was a minute/more per mile
slower than I was shooting for.
The hills definitely took the wind out of my sails.
Room for improvement.

Farmstead Stampede 5K today in Overland Park KS. We got so lucky with a break in the heat wave and a nice clear crisp morning, 60 degrees. Starting at the Deanna Rose Farmstead at 138th & Switzer, this race goes out to 135th, then west to Nieman, then south on trail before turning back east then north and east back to the Farmstead. I had mile splits of 7:04/6:46/6:50, then the last .11 mi @ 5:48 pace for 21:10 chip time, good for 2nd in M60-64. Gayle van Durme was 15 seconds ahead for 1st in age group. I could see him up there during last mile, but felt I was going the fastest I could at that time. Time to work in a little more speed work to try to get up there with him!

Did weights and ran 4 miles this am. Had a hard time running (I have bronchitis again). This has really been a damper on my running :( just when I get my times down I seem to get hit with another bout and then I can't run. I ran the 4 miles in 34:57.
On the bright side I am still running faster then I was in my 20's

5.5 mile run. 2 mile warmup, 4x100 strides, 5k race @ 20:07.0 (chip), 20:07.4 (clock). 21st overall, 1st 60-69 division. Felt at least as good as I did at Zippy's but the course today is not near as fast ( wind going out, sharp turn around cone on wet pavement, 1.5 miles of dirt/sand on return). Frustrating close! It's there , I'll just have to give it another shot soon.

Had a tennis match today, it was hot, so we began at 900am. Finished at 1110am, I won in straight sets to someone who I had lost to previously. Nice redemption, but had to concentrate and stay focused. My opponant chases everything down, so I made sure to stay on top of my game and won 6-2, 6-4. Had about 4 very long games and some very long points. It was well worth the workout...;-)

Nice 22.5 mi training run today on a very cool morning in the middle of a long hot season. Down big hill on 91st to Millcreek Streamway trail at Woodland, then north to Kansas River which still amazingly was full of water. Then back south to Prairie Star Parkway, then north back to 91st and up big hill during mile 22 to get back home. There is a major hill both ways just north of Shawnee Mission Park, making this a good varied training run, 8:47 overall average. Slowest miles were mile 1 warmup @ 9:21 and mile 22 up big hill @ 9:20. 3 other miles were 9+, either up hill or walking to drink. Mile 16 was fastest at 8:07. Heart rate stayed around 125 for first 2 hours, average 132, max 167.

10.6 miles in 1:28:01. Started out as a very easy run, but gradually picked up pace along the way. Started out around Lake Lenexa, then south around Smiley's Golf, then east along newish trail just north of K10 to Woodland, north to Prairie Star Parkway, then east to Mill Creek Streamway Trail, then north on trail to 91st, and back home. This is a pretty varied course with some long grades, then a big hill in the last mile to get home. Fairly humid today but not bad. Long run tomorrow!

1.5 Mile warmup
5k Race
1.3 Cool Down
I knew today would be a good day to run been feeling pretty good this week and over the last couple weeks have started to get my miliage back up. Ended up getting 19:44 by my watch of I stopped it alittle after I crossed the line so the official time may be alittle faster. I will have to wait till the results post. I could not belive how in sync this race was with my gps. Every mile marker corisponded with my 1 laps on the gps. I am not sure on the finish but if it did then I ran in the 19:20's Just have to wait and see. My splits where decen (5:55,6:24,6:33) Much better then my last few races and almost a PB time for me.

We hit the courts hard today. Non stop tennis for two hours and 15 minutes (hydrateD properly of course). Cardio drills that keep the heart rate up, make you sweat and tire you out. I can already see some great improvementS in Celinas game, since we began to drill last week. It was 85 degrees when we began at 900am and it was 96 at 1130. Great workout and got a bit darker...;-))

Ran my longest training run of the year. Mike and I did 15.5 miles and there were a lot of hills on our 501 Rattlesnake BIG loop. Did it in just under two and a half hours. This was only one of a few opportunities I have had to do a long run. I am not racing this weekend and my body is almost recovered from the SF Half on Sunday. The good news is that I did not have that falling apart feeling at the end. I could have gone a few more miles...thanks Mike!

Hit with one of my tennis students (who is also one of my models), she has her varsity try outs next week so getting her ready for the tryouts. Did several drills and she is improving everytime we hit. She was not bad when I began giving her lessons, she is focused and wants it, Now she runs me around more and more, which I love.

68 minutes easy running around WVC. Danny and Tom joined me. Tom's right foot is injured. He's thinking about taking some time off. Probably will walk while we run. My own foot problems seem to be much better. Don't think it was the running shoes but rather my street shoes. If I wear the soft leather Santoni loafers from my Imelda Marcos collection I am fine but when I wear the heavy leather, downtown Palo Alto shoes, my foot hurts. So they're going to Good Will.

After Yoga I had to get in car an drive to other gym on other side of town where I live to do my double workout. 3 1/2 hours total workout not including driving or breaks. I had to take some breaks today was so tired from broken sleep due to ongoing construction behind my bedroom but so happy I completed this :).

I jogged an easy 70 minutes today. My right foot seemed okay. I used tape, Advil, ice and Capsaicin. The unholy alliance of old runners magic that kept my foot together for another day. Both my running buddies, Danny ( lower back ) and Tom ( ball of his right foot ) ran injured. Tom walked when it got too tough but then would have no problem catching up with us. It occurred to me that our pace was so pedestrian ( sorry for the use of a big word ) that Tom could have walked most of the workout today and with only 3-4 brief 30-60 second runs caught right back up with us.

Last Sunday was an important date for me. Not only was it race number 31 of the year but it also was the end of week 200 of running or walking at least 30 miles per week. There has been some close ones but someone I have been able to get to 30 or more every week...

Took one of my high school tennis players for a good workout. We where on the court for two and a half hours. It was 98 degrees when we began and 93 when we got off the courts. Drilled and talked strategy, drilled and talked strategy. Getting her legs tune, as well as mine, since I am in a city playoff tournament. Anyway, great workout for both of us. ;-)

I had an appointment with the Director of Personal Training at my gym at noon. We discussed diet and exercise and my goal to lose 10 lbs. I have 19 body mass and 27 muscle mass........at a weight of 138...which is going to go down to 128.....He showed me some exercises to achieve this goal. Although I did not sign up with the personal trainer for future sessions (he charges $40-$60 per 30 minutes), I did learn alot. I lifted 50 lbs weights.

Got my workout in a little earlier than usual today because I am watching my nephew and he’ll be here around 7:30 Sooo... I kept it outside today for the most part with a run to the high school and two sets of stairs on the stadium. Following that I went to the field and ran one set of sprint lines. OMW home, instead of jogging more, I decided to walk but while doing so I prominently pushed off my calves each step so get a lil extra lower leg workout. At home i use out brick wall for my step up as well as some calf raises. Inside I did my crunches and some push up... no planks this morning but I’m sure I will fit them in somewhere when I get a moment... after all they only take a couple minutes :)

Went to the Y with my bestie for an afternoon workout because I couldn’t do my workout this morning (watching a 2 yr old doesn’t allow much time for that!) Nonetheless, we had an awesome workout. Allison does more cardio because she it trying to LOSE, while I do a little more weights than cardio because I don’t want to LOSE, I just want to maintain. So we separated briefly, then joined back together in the Yoga room for out crunches, pushups, calve raises, medicine ball toss, and finally yoga/stretching. I think sometime this week she is going to come to an anti-gravity yoga session with me, I finally talked her into trying!! =)

Jogged the Dish from home = 10.9mi@10:37 pace (876ft elevation gain).
Stayed in 65%HRR and tried something different:
breathing only through my nose.
Read an article extolling its virtues, so gave it a try.
Supposedly, it is like "training at altitude" and I
should be able to sustain a given pace at 10bpm
lower HR. We shall see; I'll give it a try for a week/two.
One thing for sure, it would be difficult to do at race pace.
Any believers?

I ran a very slow 67 minutes this morning. Dragging a bit because of Puppy duties (getting up at night to let her "go" out). But you know, those puppies have those earnest little faces so I am happy to help with the heavy lifting. Danny and Tom were happy to run my glacial pace. Tom did taunt me at times by walking alongside us to show exactly how slow we were going. We did pass a number of runners but that was because they were going in the opposite direction :)

6.3mi@10:50 pace. Tried keeping my HR in a tight range around Zone 2.3 (65% HRR).
The graph is HR/mph and demonstrates "cardiac creep".
The speed drops off over time at constant HR. The dip was a short slight downhill.

Was still hot today around 100 degrees and the humity made it even worse but I did manage to get in an extra mile this week before I had to take a break. I figure about the time I get back up to the miliage I was doing earlier in the year it will be cool agin but I am hoping that my run times take a huge jump after getting used to the heat.

Not the PB like I hoped for but still not a bad time I suppose. The first two miles went as planned but the last mile I found my self gasping for air.

Seems like this heat just won't go away Steven. Forecasting 100 here for the next 10 days. 6:30 am is about the only time I can get in a good run. You are doing well...keep it going.

Thanks, I would try getting up early but I tend to stay up to late unless I am racing the next day. I can't run alot of long distance in this heat but I can get some good short distance workouts in. Hopefully it will atleast maintain my current fitness.

I was so excited to wear my new Asics Extreme 33 shoes for their first run last night. UGH! Hotspot on my heel after 3 miles but I still pushed through 5 since I was with my running group. So disappointed! They're so cute & bright...oh well. I should just stick with the model that works for me. The new generation of more "minimal" shoes really interests me. I just need to find that perfect, magical fit. The kind of shoe that makes you want to run forever...

I agree with you Bob! I've always believed in the "if it's not broken don't fix it" mindset. In 16 years I say with absolute gratitude that I've never sustained an injury from running. Well cushioned shoes have always worked well for me.

I did my first Vinyesa Flow Yoga class, it was a little harder than the body flow but fun to do. I learned fast that you must have a mat that sticks to ground which I did not have so I will get one tomorrow. I was told I did very well for my first time and was surprised with some of the positions I was able to get in, kind of like a contortionist lol. After 1 hr. of that I did another hour workout for cardio and abwork. Hopefully I am not too sore for tomorrows class and workout...

On Monday I drove up to the chiro and had my foot looked at. Turns out that both the talus bone and ankle were out so he adjusted them. I could hear an audible "pop" when he adjusted the ankle. My foot was pretty sore afterward but today I went out for a 60 minute easy run at WVC with Danny, and nothing hurt. Hopefully I have put this behind me for now. I can't complain too much. It is only the third time it has gone out.

This is going to be week number 199 of running or walking 30 miles per week. About 95% is running but I do count walking if I have a situation. With a six mile race this Sunday and because I want to have fresh legs for the Wharf to Wharf I needed to get in a long run today. I was still tired from the half but only walking three miles yesterday was good. So today I ran 11 miles easy about 9:20/mile pace.

Great job, Bill. If I recall correctly, the San Rafael mile race is the PAUSATF championship race, which steps up the level of competition.

Thanks everyone for your support the last few weeks. It really helps alot. Now I am hoping these 3 mile races will convert to a sub 20 minute 5k August 5th in San Francisco ( my 1st race as a 65 year old senior citizen ).

It was 94 degrees in Harlingen. But still went to the local courts to workout for about an hour and a half. Then played doubles for a little over an hour and 10 minutes. But that time it was 99 degrees. Felt the heat and have been tired all day, but took plenty of fluids and hydrated properly...grea t hot workout...;-)

I ran early. 65 minutes. Right at about 60 minutes the foot started to act up again so I shut things down after another five minutes of walking and running. Twice before my talus bone in my right foot has gone out. This may be what it is. In each case my chiro has popped it back in and I have been able to run with no further issues. I am seeing him Tuesday so he can check it out then.

Most weeks, I shoot for 3x walk and 4x run/jog; last week it was 4x walk, 3x run. I agree it is a good idea to mix in some speed/intensity twice a week if possible. For me, I'm still in the base building mode -- figure that I may need to go another 4-6 months of LSD runs and walking before I have built up enough miles to get in decent running shape. That, and losing a few pounds; the never ending story ...

It was 94 degrees and 70 humidity. We began at 530 and stopped at 730 in the evening. It was a hitting day. We keep the ball in play non-stop. This helps to work on timing and perfect the strokes. Volley's, strokes, half volley's, serves, overheads and leg conditioning. We took two well deserved breaks, because at times we may hit the ball back and forth as many as 50 times. Good workout....;-)

Running feels so much fun and non-competitive with these great people. We saw an amazing sunset over the ocean too as we were coming back to the finish. It doesn't get much better than that on a summertime run.

There are alot of things that can cause ones back to hurt. I've had problems with mine ever since I had sciatica 14 years ago. Now I stretch my lower back every morning before I take off running. I also sleep with a specially made pillow between my knees at night to keep my spine sraight while I'm sleeping. Most times discomfort is do to some sort of misallignment in the vertebrae. Getting it back in allignment is the only solution. Sometimes you need to see a chiropractor.

Due to muscle soreness I took it some what easy this morning with a yoga session.. It was relaxing, yet still challenging. Most important part: It stretched my body out and made me feel great!

I guess that when took that fall a week ago Saturday, I twisted something in my back. My hip was bothering me but I could deal with that. But this back thing is not good. I only walked three miles today. I am getting a massage first thing in the morning. I have a half marathon on Sunday...

Yes, the back is doing great. Still having some tightness and cramps in the left calf but that is self inflicted...not enough stretching and too much of a mileage increase. Hope things went well with Dr Hunt.

I ran for 50 minutes this morning but then my right foot started to cramp up and I had to walk-limp the final ten minutes back to my car. I realized later that my new running shoes were laced way too tightly. The pain went away as soon as I put on my older shoes. I did a few strides and the pain was gone. I just needed to re-lace the new shoes. Hopefully the problem is solved.

I felt it so I played a steady conservative game. My opponent tried to make me run with this little shots. I did not chase them, because I knew if I got him in a rally I cound win, and I did. I won 6-4, 6-3 so now I qualified for the city playoffs, I will be the # 3 seed, in a 16 man draw....great win and workout. We played for an houra and a half...;-)

So in the third set I could not hold my serve, even after I was serving for the game in three occasions. Anyway lost my concentration a bit of my composure and lost it 6-4. We played for two hours and 10 minutes and it was nice and hot out there today...;-)

I don't wear a watch and since it is a fartlek type workout no two interval distances are the same. My pace the second half is considerably quicker than the first. The best guess I could make would be an average slightly faster than mile race pace.

Did a 15 minute video for a warm up - supposed to be an ab video, but, there is a reason why I use it for a warm up!! Then 45 minutes of total body free weights etc.

Four mile walk. While out there, I saw a barefoot man running with a three legged dog. I wonder what this means?

It means you can still run with less than a full conpliment of body parts and a lack of an equipment budget!!!

Didnt post yestardays workout so this is a two day post.
Wensday
Did a 2 mile warm up then ran the Bluegrass 10k I am not happy about my time but I will make it up next time. Finshed with 44:19 which put me 158 out of 3015 registered runners. I know I can run a 10 faster then that but everything just went wrong. My watch band fell apart twice the first time I wasted energy putting it back togather while trying to run and the second time I just held it. I guess I will have to start tapping it up :S or not ware it period for my races. Thought it would be cooler but I was wrong about that turned out to be just as muggy if not alittle more muggy then Sat. Love the course and it was the best orginzed run I have ever ran. I plan to make this one a anual event.
Today
Just did a 3 mile run 2 recovery Miles (8:00) Pace and a moderate mile (7:00) pace. Walked 1/2 mile the decided to head for the AC. the sun was blocked by the clouds today but it didnt help any. I was sweating before I even started the run humitity had to be in the upper 90% range. I was hopping it would start raining but just not my luck :S. Anyway cant wait for fall already!

Did an hour and a half of cardio workout with a health and wellness group yesterday. The first hour, I have to admit, was very easy. Since I am big guy, some of the participants were asking me if I was okay. Of course I was, they were more tired than I (thanks to tennis). The last half hour was crunch cardio, abs and buns work, that one was tougher but not a problem and got a great sweat out of it. It was not bad, but when I am on the tennis court I love it more...;-)

Was going to run a 6 miler today but decided after two miles I would just make it three. The heat is really hurting my longer runs. It was in the upper 90's today and though the three miles didnt take alot out of my body the heat was drying me out fast. thinking of actually getting a water belt as bad as I hate to.
Ran 3 Miles followed by a 1/4 mile cooldown walk.

Sure glad to did not run a race yesterday. It will all come together. I have 36 hours before the July 4th 5k race.

Walked an hour at high noon. When I really think about it, walking for an hour feels very similar to running for an hour did back in my 30's. Actually when I don't run at all it feels like an eight mile run did 30 years back. So obviously if I run it is like piling on extra mileage. So if one day I run 7 miles I actually have run 15. If I do nothing the next day it is like I recovered with an 8 mile run. Brilliant...deductive work.

Mike and I went out for an easy run but I didn't want to hold Mike back. He went ahead. I ran six miles and walked about a half mile. My hip just hurts but my left wrist is not right. You don't realize how much you use your hands when you run. I certainly would not have been able to run sub seven this morning. It was smart to take the weekend off from racing. I am hoping once I get another 48 hours behind me that the wrist won't bother me...

Did about a half mile warmup prior to my race then ran the 5k. I felt pretty good today but the combination of the hilly course and warm muggy tempreture really took it out of me early. Ended up running 20:35 and had a little race going with another member in my age group at the end. I was about 10 seconds behind him when we hit the 3 mile marke then I took off in a dead sprint and cought back up but he picked his pace up just enough to stay in front :). You always gota love the end compatetion! Still ended up getting second in my div. and I feel good about the 10k coming up next week with cooler tempretures and a flat course pretty sure I can keep close to the same pace I did today.

Hope to meet you then if not before.+reply by Barry Anderson Sunday, 7/01, 2012 9:10 am
Sub 6...good run. Hope to get to that shape again.

Can not believe what happen. Mike and I were out for an easy two mile run over to a Fitness Fair in downtown Los Altos. It was an easy run. I tripped over my feet and went down. I broke the fall this time but I landed hard on my hip. It does not feel good right now. I took two Tyleonol after getting a 20 minute massage. I have a race in the morning. I am going to see how it feels in a couple of hours...just can't believe I did this!!!

Bob, there's a lot good routes in/around the Dish. I usually go the regular 3.7mi clockwise loop which gets the steep hill out of the way first. Others prefer to start at the Alpine Rd. entrance which makes for more distance and more hills. There's also a longer loop along Old Page Mill Rd. looping back under 280, Arastedero and Alpine. Something I haven't tried is a trail they opened up a year/so ago: http://news.stanford.edu/news/2011/may/new-matadero-trail-052011.html that heads back to Coyote Creek Road, through the cow farm.

I had a long day yesterday, but I closed it off by being a bad boy. You know, the beers and shots. Well today I went to hit tennis balls for one hour and a half, almost non stop. My hitting partner and I wanted to get a good little workout in, so we did concentrated hitting. You hit some many balls when you do that, its a great way to really work on timing and ground strokes. Great workout and it was hot today...;-)

Ran first thing this morning. It was 59 degrees...just perfect for running. I ran 6.45 miles at 9 minute pace. Put a patch on my hamstring just to make sure. Feeling okay. This gives me 28 miles for the week. Wanted to get in 40 but backed off of that the first couple of days...just did not want to push my hamstring. 5k race in Golden Gate Park on Sunday. Would like to get under 21 minutes...

I've enjoyed being a solo runner for so many years and now this feels like a great new direction for me. The camaraderie and overall vibe of the group is wonderful - welcoming, supportive and fun.

Went to the high school track today for some accurate running. Found out on my warmup that on a track enviorment my gps looses an avrage of .01 miles per lap running at a slower pace and nearly double that running faster. This kind of hurt me when I tried doing my 1 mile timed run because the pace it said I was going was about 20 seconds behind the actual pace i was going :S. Still had a good workout and ended up calibrating and testing my foot pod while I was there. Walking it was pretty much right on running I actualy ran past the mile marker a few feet. Will probally use the foot pot next time I hit the track up belive its a bit more accurate on a track enviroment.

I have learned that GPS systems do not handle curves well so when running on a track alot of the time the gps will make a wide turn while you make the shorter inside turn. This results in the gps thinking you have went further then you actually have and would indicate that you are going faster then you actually are. If you run a course with alot of turns the gps will be off more then running a strait down and back. If the turns are long enough it want be off as much. The accuracy of the gps is based on a strait line so the more you vary from the strait line the more it will be off.

Re: GPS, on the Garmin I have, you can ask it to do "auto-lap by position" and tell it to trigger at the location where you hit the lap button. You just need to hit the lap button once, and it will automatically register a lap as you cross that point again. It vibrates when it registers a lap. From this you get a feel for the (lack of?) GPS accuracy.

My neighborhood has small hills, so you go down for a bit, then you climb for a bit, came out to a little over 3.5 miles and felt much better. Felt my food go down and did not feel stuffed. Worked a little sweat, it was 104 degrees today...;-))

Ran my 3.2 mile course this morning easy. My hamstring is feeling a little weird. I am going to see Dr Hunt. My next race is this Sunday in Golden Gate Park. It is a 5k. Looks like a fairly fast course. Rich sent me the course map.

Ran 3 miles (6:45 Pace) Walked 1/2 mile
Felt pretty good today the pace was pretty easy and probally could have ran a few more miles at that pace. Just dont want to push it to hard just now starting to get things back on track. I will start adding a little distance each week.

I worked out at Shawsu studios this morning with two different trainers.. They both have the unique style of training so I get a really good workout.. The cardio intravols are great to get the maximum burn with less time.. Mixing up balance and weight training really is a nice way to work it out all over for core strengthening! I'm ready for the day!

No not this year Frank ran it last when he was 62. I have paced quite a few people but never have ran it. I am a 10 time finisher of the Tevis. The run was last weekend on the 23nd. It was a perfect day for it. The winning time was 14:46 witch is a record by Timothy Olson. He average just under a 9:00 min mile pace and that's fast conceding you have 18000 feet of climbing. The first place women Ellie Greenwood broke the long standing women's record by 50 min.

Don't know if my prior response got thru, however at this time temps range from the low 70's in am to high 80's during the day. Much is mitigated by running, cycling, etc onthe beautiful path network (paved) down by the Boise River. It's an arid climate, so easy to tolerate..

We are in the midst of a rapidly growing wildfire. Although 10 miles to the west, the smoke is permeating the sky and those of us on the east side of town can smell the smoke and feel the heaviness in the air. I opted to not run the trail race this morning due to the smoke, but went to cheer runners on. The race, in Palmer Park, was a very good course. Tough with lots of terrain and elevation changes. After the run I did two more workouts. I rode about 41k on my road bike and it was hot. Wind chill(?) at about 94 degrees. We had high temp of 100 today. Unheard of here in Springs. I then did just over 45 minutes in the pool. Total of 4 hours of exercise. Tired, but happy with my efforts today. Hopeful that the fires will abate and people can return to their homes.

Since I was a bad boy yesterday (ate too much) and last night (drank too much), I head out to the tennis courts at 900am. Began to do some cardio exercises at 915, combined them with some hitting drills and finished off my morning hitting with a pro set with a tennis teaching pro who was at the courts. He was a prodtege of mine and now he is a teaching pro. We played a pro set, he beat me 8-3 and I called it a day. It was 1130 by that time and I had a great workout...;-)

Racing is so much more fun when you have gotten enough sleep, are at a decent racing weight and when you are not racing in high humidity. This morning I ran 41:18, my best 10k since Nov 2009. I even felt strong on the hill. I really needed this after not running well last Saturday.

Thanks Barry. The most exciting race I've ever run was a road mile in front of the State Capital in Sacramento just short of my 51st birthday. I'd been doing awesome interval workouts at Stanford Stadium and was as ready as I could get. Race day was hot as so was the field for the 50-59 race. Went out at 2:29 at the half side by side with my arch rival and good friend Mike Dove leading when the rest of the field got antsy and took off. Mike and I didn't panic and by 3/4 mile went back to the front. With about 200 meters to go I took the lead and was heading for home. With about 20 meters to go Mike snuck by for the win. 4:54.00 to 4:54.31. Closest finish in the races history, all age groups!!!!

I can focus on another race in the future and really test myself then. Everyone got a watermelon after this event too, the "summer solstice run". Very cool. Anyway, I still got my Zumba class in this morning, even though my body felt tired. Summer conditioning continues...

Did a double workout today. I ran seven miles easy with Mike this morning. We did a couple of pick ups over the last two miles. Then I ran four miles right after lunch. Ran this about 30sec per mile faster. Want to try to hit 50 miles for the week. Want to get ready for my upcoming half marthons in July.

Sorry to hear this...I was having a lot of issues with my Achilles Tendons and I picked up a pair of orthopeic inserts for my street shoes. (I can't wear them in my running shoes.) Go over to On The Run by Golden Gate Park. It seemed to work for me right away. Good luck and keep us posted.

At one point we were running under 6:30/mile. I ran with him for about a mile and a half. Felt good...checked my weight after this run and I am now at 145.

Even though I won the first set easily, I failed to put the match away early in the second set when I had the opportunities. Won the second set in a tie-break 8-6, this was after I was up 5-2 in the set and 5-2 in the tie-break. I have to work on putting the matches away when I have the chance. Still a great workout...;-)

Ran up Mount Washington Auto Road on Friday to "scout out" the race with John Stifler and Ken Derry. I moved a bit ahead as I wanted to try and run 1:30-1:40 up. I ran 1:42 up and one hour down. The downhill is a slammer! Plus there are cars and motorcycles going up/coming down so you have to stay alert. There were NO issues with the vehicular traffic and I hope that Pikes Peak Highway can open the road to runners as well. I think it would be a great addition for athletes to be able to train up the Pikes Peak Highway. I wasn't sore on Friday after the run, felt great and fit. Had a busy day working with the race officials that evening for the pre-race presentation and then resting up for the big day Saturday. An amazing race on the "hill" Saturday. We selected our men's U.S. Mountain Running Team.

I ran farther than normal because I heard that it was FARTHER'S DAY. So I did a 78 minute round trip from my house up into Stevens Creek Park and back home again. Plenty of hills. Only later on did I find out it was FATHER'S DAY which I meant I should have been sitting home with a pipe and slippers watching sports on the TV.

It was one of those things that came out of left field hit the mark perfect. I'm still laughing about it, probably in part because I'm still delirious from my own "farther" run of 15 miles. :)

Ran a nice 15 miles with 5 of them being on some pretty tough trails through the woods. At one point, right in the middle of the woods is a graffiti covered railroad bridge tunnel which seems really out of place with it's urban contrast in the middle of nature.

Last run in Puerto Vallarta before leaving for home. They block off the main street on Sunday's mornings for bicycle riders, runners and walkers. That's where we ran this morning. Mike and I ran and walked 4.5 miles.

Not too bad given the conditions. I figured 44 and 22 so your 5k was really great given the circumstances. More than half way!

Nine am to 1115am was the time we played tennis. I took one of my teen models to hit and practice today. Not only is Celina a great model (looks and style), she is also a high school tennis player. So I took her out for a two hour+ lesson and we had a great workout. She is a good player, but her coach spends very little time with her on the court. So since I no longer coach the college team (program ended because of funds, so they say), I might as well coach one of my models. I will be her summer coach and photographer, cant beat that. We ended right before it really got hot...;-)

Ran an easy 75 Minutes with Danny around WVC. As Danny and I were cooling down we saw Don Bowden walking on the track. He was the first American to break the four minute mile barrier back in 1957. We stopped and talked. Bowden is a living legend but very humble. He is also very knowledgeable about the sport.

Steven, it takes at least a month to recover from a marathon. Sometimes longer. Even when I was running 70 mpw, it took me 4 weeks to recover. I learned not to push it or have high expectations until my energy level came back.

In tennis you have to hit the ball over the net. It is as simple as that, but today I sure missed several opportunities to win today. I just was not consistant enough to win my points. Granted, I am not taking away anything from my opponent, but I sure missed several shots that hit the net. Lost 6-4, 6-4, when I was ahead in both sets, 4-2, 4-2. Very upset, but oh well...great workout overall, we began at 830am and finished at 1045am. Went on and had a great breakfast...;-)

Switching it up and doing legs today and conditioning on Weds. We did conditioing outside this weekend on one of the hottest days thus far. It was good but my calves are still hurting! Lots of deadlifts, lunges, no cheat squats, presses, and leg lifts today!

The Pride Run, a 10K in the Golden Gate Park on 23 June. I will probably do it within a long run but at race pace as I need to sharpen up for the marathon in July.

In Puerto Vallarta for our Ujena Jam event. On Saturday is the 15k Challenge. Ran this morning with Jodi. We ran 3.1 miles and walked a half mile. It is not that hot but the humidity is very high. Going to take a few days to get used to it...legs are still not 100% but I did get a good massage yesterday which helped.

I was in Dallas over the weekend and had the opportunity to use the elliptical for two days. Both days, did 15 minutes of stretching, followed by 45 minutes on the elliptical. Finished with 15 minutes of strenghtening the arm tennis muscles with lite weights. These exercises really help allot on the tennis court. Felt great yesterday and this morning as well. ;-)

Which means I had a couple of others really slow. But I have hit my 30 miles for the week and I will just do one mile before catching the plane in the morning for Puerto Vallarta. It will be hot and humid there. No race this weekend. Next Saturday is the 15k Challenge..10k at 7:30am and 5k at 9:00am. Tough event...

Richard, that is incredible weight loss! Sadly, when I started college I weighed close to 185 but within my first months, went over 200 pounds and never saw it again for the next ~30 years. I honestly never thought I would see the old side of 200 pounds for the rest of my life, including the day I started my "journey". The day I broke it was one of the happiest days of my life and I will do everything in my power to never see it again.

My whole family was fighting weight issues. My father was 100 pounds overweight. I knew exactly where I was going if I didn't put a stop to it. I started in April of the junior year and by the time I walked back into school the next fall I was under 140 pounds and headed down to 135. People I knew well walked right by me and didn't recognize me at all. Of course I also went from looking like some straight laced choir boy to looking like I was in a rock and roll band.

Yard work! Digging up sod, running a wheelbarrow and packing around 8 foot 6X6's. I think that was a full body workout, don't you?

Legs felt normal today no pain and only slightly fatigued so decided to add a moderate 6 mile run with a 1 mile walk. Legs still felt good afterwards will probally be back on track by the end of the week.

My legs are starting to feel normal again. I walked and ran three miles at lunch. I ran very slowly a half mile. I might get in a couple more miles later with Mike. I should be back to normal by Friday. Glad I am not racing this weekend...first weekend of the year off by design. Next race is in Puerto Vallarta June 16...10k at 7:30am and 5k at 9:00am...it is the Bob Anderson 15k challenge...this is only the sixth race of its kind and I have run all of them! It will be hot and humid...

Hospital Hill Run Half Marathon June 2 in Kansas City MO. This was the 39 edition of this event and my 36 time to race it, giving me a total of 471 miles. I missed the first year, 1974, as well as 1979 and 1989, so this was my 23rd straight. Tried to chase down my Age Group winner who finished in 1:38:06, while I was 1:38:53 for 2nd. My second straight 2nd place Age Group finish which is also my highest finish. PR for this course was just under 1:20, back in 1982 and 1983.
This is a fine event, technically difficult because of the hills, usually hot but today we were treated to a perfect 53 degree starting temp. You definitely need to save something back in the early going in order to have strength left to power through the last 3 miles to the long fast downhill finish.

Thanks Barry, yes it is rare to get a cool day for Hospital Hill. I wish I had recorded all the temps along with my finishing times. I really enjoyed this one.
Bob, I did know that the Age Group winner was up ahead of me. He got out of sight during the last half, but I was still hoping to reel him over the last couple of miles. I think I did gain half a minute, but too little too late. This guy (Turner) has been beating me consistently but not by a lot, then last month I blew by him right before finish of Olathe 10K but didn't know I had passed him for Age Group win! Back to Hospital Hill, I really battled the 3rd place guy back and forth thru 10 miles, but had no idea he had started way behind and had a 90 second chip advantage. Fortunately I kept hammer down over last 5K and put enough gap between us to beat his chip time by 3 seconds--WHEW!!!!

Jogged 4 Miles and walked a mile. My legs felt much better today then I thought they would the only soreness I had left was in my calves. I decided to jog a few miles and get my legs loose they felt really good after the run did about 5 minutes of streching and my legs felt perfect. Think they will be fully recovered by this weekend may run my 5k after all. Still plan to keep the runs easy this week and starting my speed work back up next week unless of course I race Sat.

Heat + Hills = Hell. Based on the friendly Friday weather forecast (temps in the 50s and light showers) and a "friendly" race description, I decided on Friday to run the inaugural Worcester (MA) Marathon. Big mistake! The hills were continuous and unrelenting and the heat hit the mid 70s with few clouds (If you want heat and clear hot skies, invite me to your marathon!) Was at 1:55 at the half but ended up with 4:24. At least I ended up with a smile on my face.

Today was a day when experience kicked in. You never know how you're going to feel when you take that first step in the morning so one needs to be able to quickly change plans and still be able to make the best of what you have to work with. This morning the legs and energy were not up to snuff so anything fast was out but a good long run for leg strength was an option so that is the direction I took instead. Not fast but 2 hours plus on your feet is a positive alternative.

Well today was a great day for reaching goals ran my first Marathon and actually knocked off my half goal by 3 minutes and ran the intire distance in 3:25:42. felt really strong for the first 16 miles and was able to keep around a 7:25 pace. After mile 16 i slowed down to a low 8 managed to keep it in the 8:00 range the rest of the way. Never once hit the dreaded wall and the only problem i ran into was some heat cramps around mile 20 wich i fixed with extra water and energy gue and at mile 23 my leggs went completely numb. that didn't slow me down any though. I really didn't have any major issue during the run but after i finished the feeling started to return to my leggs and i basicly had to sit down for about 5 minutes. then drove 6 hours back home i can barely walk right now lol but im happy :)

It was a gym day on the treadmill. Lots of walking is great for me. I can pick up a lot of speed with walking. Little Bear likes it also.

Did the Auburn Trail run today. Did the 25K which was supposed to be 15 miles turned out to be 16. Had a great time was in second place most of the day until the last 2 miles. Two girls racing for first woman passed me thought about burying myself to keep up with them. Then had second thoughts decided it wasn't worth it. I was second man a few min behind the winner. Both of us would of been further back but the front runners missed a turn and did an extra 4 miles. Great day well put on run got a bit hot at the end.

Although this is a tough workout to do 1st thing in the morning it is the most important implement to fast times in the future. I believe now this will be the key to performance improvement.

Right on the mark Bill. Interval/Fartlek style training are a must for significant performance improvement once you reach the level you are currently running at. The painful truth.

I ran somewhere between 3-4 miles over at West Valley Track late this afternoon. Not really sure of the exact distance. My club was running 400's. I decided to jump in and run three of them. It was warm or so everyone kept saying. The first was the toughest. I was sucking wind the last straightaway. Hit a gasping 85. I went out much slower on the second one and pushed the last 200. This one was another 85 but I felt much (much) better. On the last one I ran even pace, felt strong and nailed 83.

I ran 1.8 miles this morning. My legs are already starting to feel fresh. I have been drinking a lot of water and watching what I eat. Before I ran today the scales are showing 142. That's what I want to hold and be at on Saturday for the half. My goal for Fontana is to get under 1:30 which would be my best time since June 2010. I am not thinking I will have a problem with the first 10...it is just those last three. The last five miles is totally straight and flat. I actually like turns. How about you?

Today decided to do three low 7 pace miles to get me a little fatigued then ran 3 miles at anticipated race pace. Added a short sprint to the end of the run then walked a half mile. This was not really a hard workout was just designed to get me back up and running after a week off of training but this will probally be the hardest workout I will do all week.
Oh and just a note about diet:
If you take off a week try to keep the diet intact I didn't and I could tell on my run today. Physicly however I felt great the rest really paid off just felt the energy drain from poor nutrition will need to get that fixed before Sat.

Back to the regular workout schedule after 2 days of rest. I think my body needed it. I felt like I hit a wall at the end of last week and my energy was depleted. Fitness should be fun & invigorating, and now I really feel that. Happy Memorial Day everyone! Enjoy the holiday & have fun!!

I believe so. Must have been in the water, got out and possibly eaten something without washing my hands first. Easy to do. I don't feel bad at work but when I run it feels like I have a side stitch across my mid section. It's been 3 days now. Energy today was alittle better but not normal. I signed up for the 10k Monday but if things don't improve rapidly I'm not sure what I'm going to do. JoAnn's running so I could probably pace her at least. Frustrating!

You have had a pretty significant increase in your weekly mileage for the last 5 weeks. With only a week or so before your marathon I think that a significant cut back would be a good idea...particularly with a sore hip. You will not likely improve your fitness level significantly in a weeks time and have had a good solid 5 weeks of training. I do not have a lot of marathon training experience so if any of our other members who do would like to chime in, please do.

Sounds good Steven. I have seen times when quick increases in mileage (you went from weeks of 14 and 11 to nearly 50) can cause problems in the hip area. Was just a little concerned since you have set some goals that you would like to reach...did not want injury to get in your way. May want to try that 13 mile run at your planned marathon pace.

Steven, no running plan recommends a jump that more than doubles your mileage in four weeks. Now a 15 miler at race pace? I would be cautious. You're a very talented runner but you are on the razors edge. Best of luck. Just don't get injured.

Had just taken a look at your race schedule and noticed that. You have a tough stretch ahead. You probably shouldn't worry about milage goals for your workouts through this time...rest (easy runs and walking) and fresh legs will be most important.

Before I go to bed, I cannot wait for the morning to work out. When the morning gets here, I am dragging and unable to really push myself like I want to. Lately I have only been sleep an average of 4 hrs! I can't sleep any longer, but my body seems tired. I got a little help from my friend called caffeine and did an ok workout. Full body punching the boxing bag with 10lbs weights, kicking it, squats in between as well as targeting torso and lower back with the weights. No workout is complete without my cardio, so I did a mix of stationary bike, and eliptical. Finished up with abs.

11.38 (Garmin distance on heavily wooded trail) miles on Weddell Creek Trail starting at trailhead just south of Devil's Slide and ran up towards Big Basin. Most beautiful trail around with redwoods, lovely flowing creek, some hills (but nothing killer). Weather was warm. I took it easy (8:30) pace because my legs were tired from the previous 2 days. Spent time on the beach afterwards watching the Kite Surfers!! All around great day.

Today was a not the best day for me. Started the day off with the PT test 2:00's of Pushups / 2:00's of Setups. Then went out to the track and did a 1 mile warmup in preperation for the 2 Mile run. Unlike most races where you get the rush at the start this didn't happen this time :( ended up getting my rush when I started my pushup event so by the time I got to the two mile run there was nothing extra just me. Ended up running the 2 miles in 12:30 which was still much better then what I needed to max but was along ways from 11:59. Did another mile after I had finished to help push some of my budies to keep going.
Later that day I got my section out and did some hill sprints up a flood wall that was behind the armory. its about 60ft and really steap! Three sets just about burned my leggs out. We ended up doing 10 sets then ran down the top of the flood wall and back for another mile. On the way back home from the unit after about a 2 hour drive I stopped by my favorite running trail and ran another 4.5 miles. Then walked a couple miles for the cool down. I was kind of upset that I didnt get my weekly long run in this week but still managed to get 49 miles in.

Yeah, it's my favorite post workout drink. I discovered Byrne Diary (in NY) milk about a year ago. It's super pasteurized so it has a shelf life of over 60 days and it's a great reward!

5.1 mile run incorporating the usual 14 x 300-400 meter fartlek intervals. After yesterdays long run the legs were not to responsive and I felt like cashing it in after the 1st 6. I did push on and they did feel alittle better towards the end. The last one is uphill and after that one I was almost doubled over. I feel much better now that I didn't give in to the discomfort early on. Stretching, weight training afterwards.

Steven, these workouts are much more effective if you do them all at even pace or start slow and make each one faster. They relate to racing that way. Also six of them accomplishes little or nothing but to best you up. Better to run 3-4 and get better at those. Run them at 5 k pace give or take.

Steven, you may even want to add some more variation to these interval type workouts. Personally I think that you could get more benefit from running 6 x 800 at a much faster pace than 6 x mile as far as the true purpose of interval training goes. Step-ups and step-downs are also a good alternative interval workout.

Mike and I ran 10k (6.2 miles) this afternoon...this new course has a good half mile downhill on it. It is going to be good training for Fontana since that half marathon drops 2,000 feet in the first six miles before it levels out. Fontana is coming up in less than three weeks. I want to get under 1:30 on that one for sure.

Ever since I started training, it has been a part of my routine so I'm not really sure. I do know that spin burns a ton of calories and I really enjoy it. My trainer believed in it 100% and it did help me lose the weight I needed to lose.

Woke up to a rainy day this morning but decided to run anyway. Was only planning on running 11 miles this week but after I started the run felt so good. Never really ran a distance run in the rain but it makes it much easier I found. Ran the intire 13.1 mile just seconds shy of my goal time avraged about a 7:39 pace and it was really easy until the last mile. My breathing was great the intire distance my legs started to get week around mile 12 and the course was full of rolling hills. I have to say I am really glad I didnt let the rain stop my run managed to get the best one in yet. Walked a half mile afterwards to loosen up and cool down.

Ran about 55 minutes. Sandwiched in there was the following: 2 x 100 17-18, 1 x 600 2:15, 1 x 200. 37, 2 x 100 17-16. The 600 was strange. A friend was reading my 400 split and I thought I heard him call out 95 ( I wanted 90 ) and I stopped and started to walk. My intent was to abort the run. Then I heard him call 90 and realized the error. At about 92-93 I started running again and ended up with a 2:15 thanks to a 37-38 second last 200. Probably would have been 2:10-11 without the hesitation halt just before the 400. Just plain dumb on my part.

5.7 miles total running. 2 mile warmup with strides, 5k @ 20:46/6:41 pace, .5 mile cooldown. Not a particularly memorable race today as for some reason I was unable to take advantage of the mostly downhill out portion of the race. Held my own well enough coming back uphill but by then everyone was to far away to catch. Disappointing to say the least. I did manage to beat Arturo who seemed to have a harder time of it than I did. 3 guys in my age group that I beat at Zippy's beat me today and 72 year old Hans Schmidt managed to get by me at the turnaround. He was very happy to beat me for some reason (the guy's 7 years older than me!!).The only good thing that came out of today's event was the age graded is 80.02% to keep my streak alive. Cutting it alittle to close for comfort though. I need to run races on Sundays as being on my feet until 7 o'clock last night at work doesn't seem to work well in terms of turnaround time.

Bill, I figured about 20 - 30 seconds slower than Zippys.
Knowing how hard you race, my guess is that the hill coming back is just too tough. Getting out fast at our age is tough too. Good run though regardless. The hill makes this a random result course.

like the past few weeks didn't get much sleep last night thinking about the race today. Woke up at 2am and tossed and turned till my alarm went off at 5:45. Got up had a bowl of fruit and took off.
About a hour before the race I decided to run the most of the course. Ended up running 3.15 miles but found out later where the actual starting line was. The course itself was about 3.2 miles long (seems you can never get a accuratly messured course) I decided to just give it every thing from start to finish. Ended with some decent splits till the third mile. 5:58/6:24/6:46 . There where two good hills about half way through the 2nd mile that really slowed me down.
My GPS time on the intire 5k was 19:45 but the official time for the intire course was 20:01 I belive. I am pretty happy with my time and my GPS is pretty consistant it may be a few feet off sometimes but when its .1 mile off I know the course is longer so Im sure I managed to keep the 5k under 20 :)

You gotta stop second guessing courses using your GPS. You'll go nutso. The course is the course. I used to measure them years ago on a regular basis. After a time you knew which races to trust and which to just forget about it. GPS watches a re 100% either. On race day turn the darn thing off and just race. You will get faster.

Thats true but its also 3.22 on runmyrout :) I like to know what time I get for what distance don't really care if the course is accurate and as fare as races go just wan to place not worried about time. Just use the garmin to log my workouts and to see if the week prior has been effective. If I just went by the time that the course provided me then it would say that my previous weeks work out was not effective because I lost 30 seconds on my time and felt better would confuse me and I would think my work out is going in the wrong direction. So I have to have something that is consistent. My GPS may not be perfect but over the years that I have used it has been consistant or at least much more then the courses I run.

Good point. I never worried about distance as much as heart rate. But it all makes sense. Too bad you're not in the area. We could go out for a 7.81245 mile run at my .678333% of my max heart rate. Lol

What's the standard for a double run?
I had to wait 25 minutes for my buddy to show up for the last 4 miles.
In SCUBA a surface interval of >10 minutes it is called a second dive, but in running that doesn't make that much sense.

We do the 15k Challenge and the 5k starts one hour and a half after the 10k...that is for sure a second run. If you run 45 minutes for 10k then you have 45 minutes before the start of the 5k. This is for sure a second run...and it sounds like what you did would count as two as well...

I am so lucky to have such an interesting running route! Of course this time of year we have to share it with thousands of tourists and school tour groups! Of course I guess you could say it is good training for running in big races with a crowded field!

1.25 Warmup
8 X Intervals 1/4 (5:30 pace) / 1/4 (8:00 pace)
1.25 Cool Down
1 mile walk
Meals for today:
Breakfest: Nature Valley Bar and a strawberry milk
Lunch: 3 Hotdogs, bowl of fruit, bag of chips, and water (I know I cheated)
Post Workout: NesQuik Chocolate Milk and 25oz of water.
Dinner: 3 Ham sandwitches with mustard and a small gatorade
Only side affect from eating the hotdogs and chips was I ended up with sodium deposits on my skin after the run and I also found my self alittle cotton mouth after my workout this dont happen very often so I suspect the poor lunch my have played a hand in that. Performace wise during the workout didn't affect me any. I don't cheat very often but found every now and then my body wants something not so healthy so I let it have it :)

It was crazy in that I had no idea I had won until later in the day. I had to leave prior to awards, and went home believing I was 2nd! Don Turner, my recent age group nemesis, had caught me in mile 2, then built a 20-25 sec lead by mile 5. Toward the finish, I couldn't see him but we were mixing in with 5K finishers. I had a strong finish and he may have faded some, but I had no idea I had gotten by him. The photos on www.seekcrun.com proved it though. By the way, I am in Cabo San Lucas wearing my Ujena Fit Club shirt!

Bill, have noticed in your workout posts that you include stretching consistently. Do you think that has helped play an important roll in the outstanding running you are still doing in your mid 60's. I noted the importance in avoiding injuries in a recent tip, but do you feel that it has also been a factor in maintaining your speed? What type of stretching are you doing? Wish I would follow my own advice...my return to running has been a real challenge.

Most of my stretching is for the hamstrings,calves and lower back. I do this after my runs. Somewhere long ago I read it was better to stretch after a workout than before when the tendons are cold. It feels good to me and I've been doing it since I can remember. You can hurt yourself overstretching so some care should be taken.

I agree with that bill I read the same thing and have only been doing stretches after my run on basicly the same muscle groups. I can say this from experiance before I started streching it took longer to recover from my runs. Since I have been streching recovery has sped up alot.

As for adding to my overall speed, I think it lessens the chances of injury when running fast. So indirectly it adds to ones speed by allowing more of it to be done.

Thanks Bill. Probably the only time pre-workout stretching is really needed would be on faster interval training, or other training runs of high intensity where the initial part of the run can't serve as a warm-up. Did some stretching after my run last night...you have motivated me.

Since I have been kind of a slacker the last two days in my running. I added Training Hill or as we call it K2 It gains 1000 ft in one mile. Haven't been up it in awhile used to be able to run it in 15 min. The fasted I know of anyone doing it was Jim Howard who made it in 12. Took me 20 today I guess being 60 has slowed me down.

Today I did 4 Miles at 30 seconds slower then 5k race pace. The first three miles felt pretty good but the combination of uphill and wind on the 4rth mile really hurt. Still managed to keep the pace for all 4 miles under 7:00 for a good workout. Walked a mile afterwards to cool down. Found one problem with my new shoes. They are rubbing the back of my right foot around my tendon raw :S. For the last two days I have ended up with bloody shocks. Tried using a extra wide bandage today but think the force of the run must have ripped it off because my shocks are still stained :(. Guess I can say this is my first running injury even though its just a scratch. Its still annoying!

For some reason I was exhausted today, but I ran well over the weekend. (forgot to log in!!) I was in Tahoe and had a very nice gym to use, as it was very cold and windy there (although sunny.) Got good runs in and used the weights. Today not so good, so it was a run/walk, but I completed 3 miles.

Yes Bob, 3 miles is the maximum I have consistently run. And it isn't always easy. In fact it is still really hard for me, but I figure that it will eventually get easier. Every once in a while I breeze right through the 3 miles. At first running 1 mile was almost impossible and then suddenly it became easy. That is when I moved on to the "train for a 5K" app. And I have repeated week 2 twice because it was so difficult. This week I moved on to week 3. It is a 8 week training program, but I am probably going to need a bit more time. :)

quick note Jan. Plans are just a general template to help you get started. Once you broke the ice and have started your alsome Journy to fitness you will soon relize you may need to modify something on you plan in order to push forward. Dont be affraid to modify the plan. Some people will try so hard to stay with the plan that they end up burning them selves out. I pretty much came up with my own workout plan and I still modify it to suit my needs so you can only imagine if somone else posts a plan its not going to be perfect for everyone. As fare as getting past the three mile mark the best way to achive this is to pick one day a week and set a goal for 4 or maybe even 5 miles. Run as fare as you can then walk for a min catch your breath then run agin. Each week just work on running more and walkig less until you reach your goal. What ever you do don't push your self to hard to try to stay on your plan you may end up quiting all togather.

Very good points Steven. Jan, maybe the day before and/or after your longer run/walk that Steven suggests only go for 1 or 2 miles and maybe add some extra stretching and weights. A little variety can be a good thing. I am currently working on a tip about training schedules that will be available in the near future.

Good race today! I had a blast riding the course with everyone! Before the Ave I was partially wondering why I deliberately chose NOT to run this Sunday. I'd love to hear how the footage turned out!

Daniel, thanks for signing up. I have seen some of your footage on the course at the Ave of the Giants and it looks good. Our little GoPro camera on the back of your bike worked well. It is tricky with all the shade and the light beaming in from time to time. Thanks so much!!!

Dicided to drive about 40 minutes to find a new place to run. Ended up running down a bike trail in lexington and managed to get my full 10 miles out of it. Walked a 1/4 mile for the cool down then sucked down a spare energy gue I had laying around, a chocolate milk, and a 32 ounce gatorade. Still dont like to take anything with me on a run but today the 10 mile seemed alot easier then last week.

3.4 mile run over the Portola Valley 5k course. 1st time I've run two workouts in the same day in many years. Wanted to get a feel for this new course before we race on it next Saturday. Rich and I drove it a couple of weeks ago and decided then it was a challenging race course. Running it today only proves that fact. Fast out with almost all downhill but what goes down must come back up. Sure helps to know ahead of time what that is going to feel like. It's a course to race those around you and not to concern yourself with the time.

For me Bob it might be a good course to beat some guys that are tougher on flat courses. I am always confident in my uphill running abilities from running cross-country. I'm going to have to put my head down and grind out as fast a return as I can. I've already got one sub 20 in the books so now division place is a goal. Good luck tomorrow!!

I bet you had a headache also. I know the last time I ran In cool wet conditions I felt like crap afterwards. Now l actually consider a treadmill if its to cold and rainy.

Speed work today 5 x (5:00 Jog "8:30 pace" / 1:00 Sprint "5:00 Pace") -> Total of 4 Miles
Followed by a 1 Mile Jog "8:00' then a 1/2 mile walk
My goal on these workout is not to practice race pace but to push well beyond race pace and be able to recover at a faster pace as well. The point of this is to be able to come up with that extra bit of energy the last 1/4 mile of the race.

To update, I've lost a few pounds, have gotten leaner, and still going. Today I was doing free weights and was able to toss around a 17.5 lb weight with no problem! It felt amazing! Did my weights for a whole hour and walked a 3.5 mph with incline on the treadmill for about 40 min.

I never got why so many runners stand around before a race, stretch and don't actually warm up. Running 1-2 miles and doing some easy strides gets your body and mind ready to race. Good you've learned this Steve.

You know I belive I actually got my first tast of "Second Wind" Since I ran track in high school. When I got to the 3 Mile marker I did pick up the pace a bit by my stomic started to burn. Then I could see the clock at the finish line once I noticed the time on the clock it was like I was recharged. My stomic stopped burning and I was able to push foward in a full sprint. And when I finished I really felt good. Was not near as exuasted as I have been in past races.

Wanted to get some miles in today so I set my goal for 10. I was not fully hydrated when I started but I thought i would be able to run all 10 without taking any water with me. I almost did but on the 9th mile it went from moderate to hard so after completeing the 9th mile I decided to walk to the car and drink down some water befor I finished my last mile. Ended up walking about a half mile then running the last mile. Turned out to be a good workout but I will have to remeber next time to be alittle more hydrated or take some water with me :) My pace was slighly under 8:00 per mile and the course was all rolling long hills.

I ran 65 minutes today capping it off with 2 x 100 in 17 followed by 1x 300 in 56 and another 100 in the low 16's. The 56 might have been faster but I caught a headwind on the home straight and it stood me and pushed me back.

I used to always run a mile the day before a race but have not been dong it lately. But after coming up short on air and my arms feeling like lead weights last Sunday, I decided to run a fast mile this morning. I jogged one mile and ran a 5:59 mile. Fastest in a long time. For me this opens up my lungs...felt god but my arms were a little heavy....4 mile race in morning...

5.1 mile run with usual fartlek/speed workout. This is the key to a faster 5k in the future. I keep telling myself this as I'm inflicting the extreme discomfort on my body. Stretching/ weight training afterwards.

We did the treadmill, elliptical, and the weight circuit. Thought I would die!

Shoes where great, the traction wasn't to good but after my pace topped out didnt have any problems. Dont think I would want to run any thing over a 10k in these shoes though but thats just me I start to slow down after 6 miles and the shoes arent that good for slower jogs. The shoes are brooks pureconnect.

So...apparently I've been kind of stressed out.
It didn't really occur to me until I realized I had been neglecting a lot of things I usually do. Like post to this site. The good news: I didn't completely stop running, even while stressed out. The bad news: I still........kinda hate it. And I would really, really like to not hate it.
However, what I did realize, is that I feel better during the day when I run in the morning, and that it's worth it for me to suck it up and put in my 2 miles (yes. Still only 2 miles) so that I feel more energized, and less like a sedentary hippo blimp the rest of the day. I'd say it's a pretty good trade off. So I shall persevere.

It took me a while to really love to run but the thing that motivated me the most was recording all the data from heart rate, to speed, to distance and no matter what one of those three areas always improved and it would set off a chain reaction of motivation me. Each person is diffrent though you just need to find your spark and stay with it. What made running fun for me was knowing I had a race coming up. Not that I could compete with the top runners but just myself and you really dont have to worry about coming in last because theres always lots of walkers that just walk the intire course. You should try to run a few of them thing i like the most is meeting new people. I have tones of fun running them :) Good thing is you can already run 2 of the 3.1 so thats a good start :) Some people cant even run that fare. Keep it up your doing great and the love for the sport will come your way if you stick to it long enough!

As Steven had mentioned, you really should try and find a 5K race and focus on it. I think that you may be looking at running as exercise and something you "have" to do to stay in shape. Having a race in front of you should help change your motivation. Don't worry about your time for the 1st one because you can always improve on the next one. Go for it!

I agree Bob. If I didn't have to get back to work I could have run all day long showing him different parts of the city. We ran for about an hour and a half and it felt like 30 minutes!

Put in a full morning and early afternoon teaching at the college. Got home, had lunch and took an hour siesta. Got on the tennis courts at 430 and played till 645. Took a few more little breaks than usual. It was also hotter than usual. But got in two hours of tennis practice. A combinaion of cardio and tennis. Love it...;-)

This past weekend, I went to see the movie "Think Like a Man". I thought it was a good movie, but after hearing the ooos and ahhs from the women in the audience after seeing a man with no shirt, I decided to become an "ooo ahh" man. I love photographing beautiful models and I'm sure they would like to look at a beautiful photographer. LOL. Have a great day Ujena Family. Time to figure out how this workout log "works".

Conditioning Class night really gave my arms and shoulders a run for their money. Of course having Mandy as a partner was very motivational. . .she keeps you pushing! Today is heavy legs with weghted stair steppers, weighted reverse squats, romanian deadlifts, front squats, and plies with cardio at the end!

I got up really early ( for me ). Like 5:30 am. Drove up to Golden Gate Park to help film Bob's Zippy 5k race. Between running from my car to the start and back plus running out to the mile point (filming) and back I got in around three miles. So for me, I uncharacteristically ended up running Thurs, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Had breakfast afterward with Bob's team plus Bill Dunn and Joann. I'll let Bob and Bill relate the story of their respective races but we all observed that the 60 plus field was deep.

I ran doubles today. 45 minutes with my club in the morning and another 21 at Foothill in the early afternoon. I capped off the afternoon workout with 2 x 100 in 17-16 (walk back recovery) and then I blasted a 35 second 200. My fastest so far this year. The temps were in the 80's which while not ideal, felt great for sprints.

Slow...slow...slow. Tom and Danny both bashed themselves Wednesday doing non running activities. Tom biked and Danny moved bricks. So I recommended that we run easy. How nice of me...right? My heart rate monitor was in the 120's and 130's throughout the run. Very easy for me but then my legs felt fine.

Yes Bob, I will be averaging about 40 per day, with the daily schedule as:
Day 1 - 29 miles
Day 2 - 30 miles
Day 3 - 47 miles
Day 4 - 43 miles
Day 4 - 44 miles
Day 4 - 46 miles
Day 4 - 46 miles
Day 4 - 33 miles
The first day involves some mountainous hiking, and the second day will include a lot of miles that are also "off road." The rest is all road. I finish in New York City on May 19th. I can't wait to start, and I will do my best to provide updates. :)

I have never witnessed the entire field of runners walking up Heartbreak Hill and somehow I was able to zig zag around them. Feet and body are completely trashed and at this point I never want to run another mile! Fortunately that will pass in due time! lol

Yay!! Just found out I'm the weekly winner for Ujena Fit Club!!! Very motivating. I have been up since 5am to take my son to the airport so I was super tired all day but I went out to the gym at 7pm to do my 2 mile run and lift weights. I am staying up until he lands in Belgium. Just want to make sure things go smoothly for him. So I thought I would run late to get energized. It actually helped a lot. I am up watching TV and reading so I think I will be up at midnight. lol
Increased my weights tonight. Had a good workout!

That's where I matriculated in the 70's. I realize that running there for so many years probably saved my legs. The surfaces are soft and fast. The only real challenge is the wind but you get used to it.

He just worked on cardio tennis. Which is a constant hitting exercise. You hit the ball in certain areas and try to keep the same ball in play as long as you can. We were drenched and very tired an hour and a half. Then we did another half hour and called it a day. I was soaked and content with my cardio tennis workout...;-)

I had already decided that I would probably walk just a mile and a half after a very stressful day and tons on my plate for tomorrow, but when I got to the gym it was so packed with my neighbors that I felt like I needed to run longer than I had planned and really put out the effort. I ended up running the 2 miles I normally do, plus the .50 warm up and cool down. There were too many people waiting to use the weight machines so I let that go. I will definitely lift tomorrow in addition to running at an earlier time when the gym isn't so crowded.

Did a 10 mile training run with Bill and JoAnn today on the California Bay Trail. It was a great way to start off the day. It was a perfect day for running. My ankle is just fine.

Did a 10 mile training run with Bill and JoAnn today on the California Bay Trail. It was a great way to start off the day. It was a perfect day for running. My ankle is just fine. All the things I did have worked. This is now behind me. Can you believe it? Thanks Bill and JoAnn. I have never ran this section before and I really enjoyed it.

You're welcome Bob. We'll do it again when the opportunity arises. Lots of fun. If we run together enough neither one of us will have any secrets.

Ran an easy 65 minutes with most of it over in Bob Anderson territory-AKA Foothill Track. I capped off my workout with 2 x 100 in 17 and then a 37 second 200. I didn't push the 100's or the 200. I glided.
I was shaking out the cobwebs of the last 3-4 months.
Weather was superb. Sunny with almost no wind. The track was pretty much empty. Easter Sunday, I guess.

11.25 mile run with Bob just now. It was a real pleasure to have an old friend to talk to. JoAnn hung on admirably for 3.4 miles and was even able to still talk. Weather was perfect with little wind and lots of warm sun. Took lots of pictures before and after. I usually run alone so this was a real treat for me this morning . Thanks Bob and JoAnn for a memorable run.

Same fartlek workout I've been doing for several months now. It's not getting any easier but I hope that's because I'm pushing harder. Todays was stronger the second half after the body loosened up a bit ( it's alot easier to do fast running when it's warmer which it hasn't been lately ). Did my usual stretching routine afterwards plus an upper body weight workout.

I believe I'm getting a bit faster. But still can't surpass the 2 mile mark outside running the full time.
I feel great for like the 1st 5 minutes, but after that, I want to turn around and go home or crumble on the sidewalk in someone's flower bed or in a nearby shrub.
If I look at this in a more positive light though, I used to loathe every single minute of running. Now, at least I like 5 minutes of it. So there's progress for you.
Can't say I love running yet. But I also can't say I absolutely hate it with all my being. I'd say, I still dislike it. But on the scale of "mildly annoyed by" to "detest with every ounce of the soul," I'd say that "dislike it" is much closer to the former.

I ran 6.2 miles today. I run easy and enjoyed it. My ankle has been bothering me a bit but during the run I did not feel it. It is one of those things that just shows up out of the blue and goes away just as fast. Next race is this Saturday. Run For The Good 5k in Fairfield...join us!

It's been tough to get in my workouts with my wrist in a cast.. My trainer, Ajay, has a challenge to find movements for my strength training and not put any pressure on my right wrist while it is in a cast. I am trying as much alternatives as possible. I'm just not posting because I'm not really doing a lot that is official!

Ran earlier than usual today. Had more energy so I will try to run at this time more often, but it isn't always an option. It's nice to know that I can still make it through a run if it is late, but I will probably get a better workout if I can run mid-morning.

The rain went away over night and I was greeted by really clear skies but also a quartering head wind coming from north-northwest. But I was really ready to run after two days off. I ran the neighborhood and then drove over to Foothill College and ran some more. Dimitri joined me (still nursing his plantar Fascia issue). I kept jogging easy but I admit that my legs felt great! I capped things off by running 5 x 100 meters (walking back for recovery). I made sure the wind was at my back. It had calmed down quite a bit but I still wanted the push if I could get it.
I ran all of them in the 17's. No hard running. Just striding through. Two seconds faster than last week. The wind must have helped but no two seconds worth. I even tried to slow down on the last two but still nailed 17's.
It must of been a very green run. Wind powered.
About 65 minutes of total running.

Ran Sac10 Ten Mile Race this morning through downtown Sacramento. Sun was out and the wind had died down alittle from yesterdays levels but was still evident. One of those funny situations where you start out against the wind and you tell yourself, good, we'll have the wind with us on the last 3 miles home when we are tired. Well not to be, there was a headwind coming back too. How can that be? The course overall is fast but does have some ups and downs in the middle miles. Anyway, I can't complain as things went very well for me as I managed to place 3rd in a very good field ( I was the oldest entrant in the 60-64 division as I'll be turning 65 in exactly 4 months). Time was 1:07:56 chip, 1:08:00 clock. Bob was right about me being in sub 1:08 shape. The running out on the levees against the wind really helped. Even still I was just hanging on the last mile or so.

So my new motivator is this amazing thing called The Color Run that'll be coming to SF in July. It's a 5k where you wear all white and run and at every kilometer, you get a different color thrown at you. It looks like an Indian wedding!!! And I love color and will definitely run for that! :)

Ran over to the Tidal Basin and along the Potomac River up to the Lincoln Memorial and back. There are lots of tourists in DC this week but unfortunately the cherry trees all blossomed early this year so they missed the prettiest time to be here.
Part of my runtoday was on the race course for Sunday's big 10 miler. I always feel like I have a "hometown advantage" when I can train on a course that I am going to race.
That said, I always try to run the last mile of ANY race course as part of my pre-race warm-up. It really helps me get psyched up for a strong finishing kick.

Donna, I personally prefer pool running. You can vary the workouts by speed and intensity and even your position in the water ( i.e. straight up and down or leaning forward). There is no stress on the skeletal system in water.Swimming is a similar activity.

The usual WVC Run. The usual time (morning).
Danny was gone to Santa Cruz so Tom and I got very business like and went off strong from the beginning. It was cool and overcast and so my HR stayed down in the high 130's and low 140's most of the run. It did edge up to 150 several times but that was usually the result of some ghastly hill section.
But we moved along cranking out slow miles but faster than normal slow. In 60 minutes, according to Tom's GPS, we covered a half mile further than our best run last week. Same heart rate, same duration. Just further.
WHAT A BONANZA!
Of course I am being a bit facetious but frankly the run felt great. It felt like sub 7's did years ago. But of course we were a good deal slower than that.
With my ten minute shake down run, I covered 70 minutes.

Ran the Oakland Half Marathon today. I hit the 10 mile mark in 68:57 but could not hold it today. I finished in 1:31:52 which is just over 7 minutes per mile. The day was perfect. No rain, no wind and the perfect temp. This was all mental today. My legs were heavy at 1 mile. Details to follow...

Felt pretty decent straight away this morming so decided to take advantage by pushing the pace a bit. Conditions were much better than last week out on the levees with only light wind and alittle mud in spots. Started out with 8:57 1st mile and got down to a 6:56 10th mile, then recovered the last 1.25 miles. Felt strong last few miles with splits just over 7 minutes. Got to experience the discomfort of the last few miles of next weeks race a week early. Nothing wrong with that I suppose.

70 minutes is a long run in my opinion. Long enough to build up a decent amount of fatigue in the legs which leads to improved leg strength and cardiovascular fitness following recovery time. Pace is not that important until the speed phase. Good job Rich.

5.1 mile run incorporating 14x approx. 300-400 meter fartlek intervals, last one uphill. Short rest jog inbetween intervals. I've been doing this workout now for several months and feel it has opened up my stride, something important to us older athletes. It's safer for me to run fast in a straight line as opposed to around the curve of a track.

Being on a low calorie diet I am losing a lot of weight fast but also losing muscle. I am making sure I don't loose too much of it by still doing resistance. I don't want bulky muscle, I want lean muscle mass that leaves me tone but feminine. This morning I did Zumba again for an hour but the toning CD this time and kickboxing again tonight.

Ran this morning at Rancho. I got there about 7:30. What a great time to run. Ran 6.2 miles in the hills. Feeling a lot better. Need to get some miles on my legs before Sunday. However, I also need to have fresh legs for the half. This is one of several challenges I have to figure out how to handle. Going to run this afternoon with Art. Maybe two miles. We are doing some filming too!

Had a hard time finding a place to run today. I am in LA visiting and when down hear I usually run in the hills above Laguna Beach. But Because of the rain they closed all the parks. So I kept driving down the cost to Dana Point and found a Bike trail along the beach and up into the mountains. So I ended up have a great run along the beach and bit if hill work.

Wind out on the levees this morning according to the weather station at Alviso was 20-30 MPH! So off we went at 10 AM , 1st 4.5 miles dead into it (9 MPM plus), turned around and flew back 4.5 miles, turned back into the wind for mile 9-10, off to the side 10-11 miles, half into and half with 12th mile. All in all one of the tougher long runs I've done ever. What a strength builder.

So I got up to do my usual ran today and 15 min into it my ankle started hurting. The more I kept running the worst it got. I was forced to just do a brisk walk. I have never thought this type of exercise is ever enough so I incorporated some punches, and some steps in. My knee has been bugging me too. Ugh. I'm falling apart! Hopefully this will all be gone after the weekend. I'm just going to hit the gym this weekend and do some spinning, some stairmaster, and some weights, plus oliptical.

Yesterday was a nice day off. . .got a lot of errands done. I also got my suit hardware for nationals, so in the next few weeks I can start on the design once the actual custom suit arrives. I also should be getting my dress & skirts for my line today!!! With that being said, I am super pumped for legs. We are 9 weeks out and am just maintaining. . .I might try a little more weight on glute exercises as that can never be TOO BIG. Today-hack squats, deadlifts, lunge lifts, stair circuits!!

We got to play tennis with some great weather. It was 80 degrees scattered clouds and a little wind. We began to warm up about 515pm. Then we played a match, we went three sets. Had some very long games and points as well. When we shook hands at the net, it was exactly 800pm. My tennis bud won today, but we will be back at it Monday night...;-)

Tough week of rehab. But the extra hour to hour and a half is really making a difference. Other activities wore me out so was a little slower on the stationary bike. I rode it for 2.5 hours and was only able to go 12.6 miles. Hopefully I do better tomorrow. My therapist said I might be able to stop using the walker and progress to a cane as my next step of recovery.

Thanks Bob. My father, who ran Boston in 1968, is very sick and I want to run it for him. Just like I decided to change my life, once I want to do something, I do everything I can to accomplish it. It will be just less than 3 years since I ran my first marathon and it is appropriate that it is Boston which is where everything started for me.

I always knew that running on an empty stomach gave me better results but this morning I also learned that running on am empty stomach also increases my stamina, speed, etc. If I eat before I run, I feel very slow, sluggish, and its hard to push harder.

It has been hard for Mike to run the races since he has been filming all the races I have been running. I was glad we were able to do this. This was a very good first time event.

Most of the snow had melted, so the traction varied from mostly dry to muddy, to compact snow and 1 spot with running water about 20 meter wide!! I didn't even try to avoid the water! Got my feet wet, and it was cold, but didn't take long for my feet to warm up again!! My pants were wet up to my knees by the end of my run and dirty!!
I love mud!!

Ran twenty minutes easy and then ran roughly 5k at an eight minute pace. The 5k felt like when I train with Bob. I was chatting with some other runners. Felt it more in my legs than in my breathing.

I finally made it back to the gym but ran into problems with the cleaners cleaning with harsh chemicals right next to me when I was doing cardio. I asked them to stop and come back later because I was getting sick but they just kept cleaning and acted like they did not understand English... I managed to finish my workout but did not do as well as usual but did my best.

I really enjoy the Juana 8k Run in Palo Alto, CA. After the 8k they also have kids races and then a mile on the road. Karen and Amol do such a good job. This is why we selected their race as one of the Best Road Races in Ameria. I ran 33:16. I hit the mile at 6:25 and then my next miles were 6:45 on the dot. I finished with 6:30 which is a little less than one mile. I thought about what Dr. JoAnn told me. Don't try to catch the runner in front of you. Just think they have a magnet and let it pull you to them. Same for the finish line. It worked...thanks JoAnn!!!

Today we began on the tennis court a little early, around 5:00pm. We had a very nice warm up, I was wearing two t-shirts. It was 82 degrees and humid. We began two play and had a nice first set. We could see the front coming in, black clouds and the wind picked up. We played a second set full of antics, crazy happenings and wild shots. Why? Because the wind picked up the temperature dropped, we put our warm ups on and 715pm it was 56 degrees and windy as heck. Talk about a crazy day on the court...only in San Antonio...;-)

Drove over to WVC to run with my friends Danny and Tom. It was a wind tunnel over there. One thing about running for so many years, it is just automatic that you figure out what you got you need to wear (wool cap, gloves, long sleeves, calf sleeve) and then you just go out and run. Anyway, it was windy on campus but once we left the college for our hilly loop through the local neighborhood, the wind seemed to drop and the run was really pleasant.....until we got back down to our cars (and the wind tunnel).
70 minutes total running. I wore the HRM and stayed in the 65-70% range.

Today woke up at 5am and started my 2nd day running. Did the hour but this time I tracked my route and used an app to track my miles! Goal is to get faster! Will wear more comfortable shoes next time. The shape ups are not so great for running! hehe I am getting double the workout, which is good, but slows me down :-)

Chilly run in -20 celcius at 5:30am! Decided to try out my new Mizuno Breath Thermo tights... Yup, quads and butt still froze! They weren't too bad for the first km, then they got cold enough they stung - then I think they went numb for the last km - either that or the Breath Thermo technology kicked in! Should have stuck with my preferred option of long johns! My upper body was toasty warm with a 320 weight Merino Wool (icebreaker) underneath my jacket. And the full moon was gorgeous!

The good: ran 2 miles nonstop on the treadmill.
The bad: it took a whopping 25 minutes. Making my average 1 mile in 12.5 minutes. Making me feel like the slowest person on planet earth.
The motivation: to get off the treadmill as soon as possible.
The proof that I really don't like running...yet...: Cel said we could have wine last night if I ran 2.5 miles today. I had to say no. And I LOVE red wine on a cold night. Or anytime.

Its been a long over haul for this 46 year old body of mine. After being in a bad auto accident in 2007. My left side of my body has been shattered and badly injured. Doctors have claimed that I may end up being on a wheel chair for the rest of my life. However I told them that I will walk again. Last week my doctor saw my leg and saw my walk. He said How did you do it? I said simplifying by believing in one self that I can do it. I told you that No wheel chair for me. I will learn to walk again. Here I am 5 years later Doctor and I'm walking.. And now I'm going to say this to you Doc.. After 5 years I shall learn to RUN again. Doctor said, Lets hope the left knee is able to hold while your trying to Jog or Run? I said, Well if its time to replace the whole knee with a plastic Knee. I will walk again Doc and then I will run... My Doctor and Nurse just smile and shook my hand. Yesterday I rode the bike for 5 miles then I walked 2 miles came home and worked out with weights. OH I may be an old man but I want to be a strong one. What motivates me? LIFE! it's to beautiful to give up on it.

Raining & cold. Ran on treadmill. The good side was that running for 20 minutes straight seemed easier than in the past, which I'll attribute to all the running lately. The bad side was that after all that, the treadmill claimed I ran only 1.5 miles, not the1.9-2 miles I feel I rightly earned. The treadmill also showed a little pixellated man walking at the pace i was running, and i know i was definitely not walking. I'd like to think that the treadmill doesn't account for short people with short legs and therefore doesn't gauge these things properly. Screw you treadmill.

I was up 4-0 before I lost my concentration, but won 6-2. Nice to win..now to watch a little Godfather II. Roberto DeNiro is incredible in GF 2...;-)

Ran three miles with Jodi in Cancun this morning and walked another two miles. Feeling better in the heat each day but it is going to be a hot one on Saturday. If I can ran 44 minutes for 10k and 22 for 5k I would be pleased.

I ran 70 minutes with my buddy Tom over at WVC in the morning. Weather was overcast with sprinkles ( some may call it rain ). Stayed at 70% or less on the HRM the entire run which meant that I felt really good throughout. Did Valle Vista for the first time since I pulled my calf. Bill Dunn knows that hill. No problems. Just kept it slow going up.

Last week I went to the doctor office and they told me that I had lost 2 pounds a total of 60 bounds I have lost since I started dieting. My knee is killing me. I tried to run but it so badly damage it is now killing me. BUT I still go for long walks. I actually don't use the car to go to the stores. Even if I want to get a burger or a pizza. I simply walk to the stores. The only time I use the car is when I have to be 10 or more away from home. Walking is fun cause you end up talking to people who are walking themselves.

They checked my blood for diabetes 2. Doctor said that he will decrease the mg from 1000 MG to 250 MG because I have improved my health. My heart is strong, My cholesterol is down and my sugar is down ranging from 94-115. Again I have lost 60 pounds and i am currently trying to get my left knee to work as it was totally rebuilt by a car accident I had back in 2007. I am alive and I am out of the wheel chair. I thank GOD for that.

Ran the neighborhood and on over to De Anza College. Work crews were dismantling and moving equipment (hurdles, par course, etc). Turns out that they are finally going to rebuild the whole stadium complex including the track. 65 minutes running. Kept the HRM in the 65-70% range. Got some drizzle but no rain.

Ran to Target with Cel. My multi tasking impulses kicked in and since we needed some household supplies, we did double duty. The way there was ok but the way back was pretty laborious, and it was only 1/2 mile each way! I think moving from running mode to shopping mode back to running mode made it hard. I just completed a grueling TRX workout too, so am feeling like I am ready for some awesome inactivity this evening!

I didn't want to go, but I went anyway, and I really wanted it to be over. I think I was just so tired from the entire stressful day at a director's workshop. By the time I got home and put my running shoes on it was starting to get dark and it was cold and windy. Today I am going to run earlier in the sunshine and I actually am looking forward to it.

I think this will be my only track race of my 50 race series for 2012. I enjoy racing on the track but I love racing on the roads better. However, I really wanted to get under 20 minutes. From the times I have been running, that should have happened. A friend Bryan also wanted to get under too. He almost did but not me. I barely got under 21 minutes. Thanks Rich for giving me quarter splits. We got a lot of filming done for "A Long Run." Mike, Waitman and Matty did a great job! Just wished I would have run better. Oh well, I have 41 more races to go including the 10k and 5k back to back March 3rd in Cancun during the Ujena Jam. We call it the Bob Anderson 15k Callenge. 10k at 7:30am and 5k at 9:00am.

I ran 80 minutes today. 57 minutes with my club in the morning at WVC and then another 23 minutes over at the Los Gatos All Comers meet. I warmed up with Bryan (Conroy) and Bob until I knew it was time for me to call it quits. Then I called lap splits for Bob during his 5K race. Bob ran a gutty race and broke 21 while Bryan ran in the low 20's. Bob wanted sub 20 but it was not to be. It's tough running on the track. Back in the day, I never broke 16 for 5K on the track but ran under 16 on the roads a half dozen or more times.

Well I was off a step or two this morning in my tennis match. I really should have beat my opponant, but no can do. He got to every ball and I made too many unforced errors. He aknowleged that as well, made me feel good, but not the fact that I still lost in three sets. We began to warm up right at 8am and we finished playing at 1050am. I was tired and not too satisfied, but happy for the workout I got. Now to play my final match of the weekend tomorrow at 400pm. ;-)

The 5 mile De-stresser
It's been a bit of a hectic week for me, lots on the mind and lots on the schedule. Maybe having a little stress can help with running though... This morning, I went out for my regular 5 mile loop and took 2 minutes off my time. Wooo Hooo! I think it's because I was so focused on figuring out a few strategies at the office that I did not realize I was jamming. So, GREAT... I am starting out this Friday with some new ideas for the office and a kick in my step from my time today! Have a great weekend friends!

Running is the best way to clear your mind...when time is short it is always important to still work in that run as often as possible...but you know this! Good run....

Put Vaseline on your feet especially over the bad spots.
Just lather it on and put your socks on over it. it's an old trick for dealing with blisters.

So gorgeous out today! It makes it a little easier to get out the door when it's beautiful outside.
The running is getting a little easier...a little.... I still have moments of "what the hell am i doing, i loathe this!" but all in all, its getting a bit better. Baby steps.... It's funny, but sometimes, for very brief moments, I forget that I'm running. I wonder if that feeling will grow. I hope so. I'd run all day long if I didn't actually feel like I was running. Big motivators today: run off the butter chicken & naan & cocktails from last night, as well as the imminent Hawaii trip. Just busted out the swimwear and if that's my clothing staple all vacation, I would like to feel comfortable! :)
Total 18:01, avg 10:38/mi

Wowza 1.72 miles! Go legs! Cel said I needed to push myself more and that I should do 2. I compromised a bit, but it was worth it. Didn't feel too bad afterwards either! We even did a super hardcore crazy Marcel workout afterwards he affectionately calls , "The Spartan" and I didn't collapse or vomit or anything. :)
What kept me going through all the torture today, you ask?
CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA!!!!!
Going to Indian food for anniversary dinner. And making cocktails tonight. Super excited! Nothing like a little food incentive to get me moving and pushing.
It's true, when you push yourself and find you can do it, it transfers into all areas of your life: other things that seem challenging start seeming more managable and doable.

Today was one of those days where my tennis buddy and I did not talk much on the court during the warm up and the match. This means we were very serious today on the court. We began to warm up about 5:20, then proceeded to play a match. Very long points and I was knocking the tar of the ball. But he is so good he pops them right back. It came down to a few mistakes on my part and I lost 7-5, 7-5. We were pooped, it was 8:05 when we were walking of the court...love tennis...;-)

Ran 70 minutes very slowly at West Valley College. Threw in some one minute walking breaks. In the old days I used to threw in one minute pickups but not anymore.
Weather was balmy even though we were on the road by 8:15 am. Not bad conditions for late February. Danny, my running partner, was grateful for the easy pace as was I. Still recovering from those four days in a row of running.

Rolled out of bed and made my way out. To be honest with you guys I have not been really focused on my running this week and only had time to get the mile in. Running this week has really been difficult just because it seems to me like a chore, I have to do it. I dislike the fact that it has to be that way and I hope I can slow down my busy life enough to have running as part of my happy routine.

Guuuhhhhh.
That sucked. Cel wants me to do 2 miles already and I can barely get through 1 without feeling like my head is going to explode. Wednesdays are my long teaching & driving days too and the thought of that makes me feel even more bleeeeggghhhh.
Cel did the math last night and said that a mile run is equivalent to maybe one glass of wine. And that's just to burn it off, not to lose weight beyond that. That's disheartening...especially since it's birthday wine tasting this upcoming week! I guess though, a one mile run is better than no run at all, right?
I'm sounding like a whiny brat so I will try to end this post with something positive: at the very least, it's an absolutely gorgeous morning outside.

Did the Target run but went past Target and to the corner of the street. Doesn't sound like much of a big deal, but at this stage of things, every teensy tiny little minuscule improvement counts. I feel a bit like Bill Murray and his "baby steps" in Groundhog Day...but considerably less neurotic.... Must remind myself that just getting out the door is an achievement in and of itself. Going to go train with Cel in an hour though, so I'll definitely have a full workout today. Thank god, since February has already been full of food & cocktails and more to come, since, apparently everyone I know has a birthday in february...including myself! Yeesh..
I will however say that I always end up feeling better eventually when I workout. Never right after, but throughout the day. Must keep reminding myself of that when I feel fitness uninspired!

Today was double workout at the gym since I have photo shoot in morning. It was a great workout. I love the new back machine I added to workout, its called the Unilateral Lat. It works out the sides of back. It took me a little bit to figure out how to do it correctly, but I think I got it now.

When I got up this morning I was thinking about making this an easy day. But things changed. Got together with Bill, Rich and JoAnn first thing. They came over to the house and we decided to do an easy run up Moody Road. Five miles later we were back in the parking out. We got some good footage for "A Long Run." Then we met Matt and Mark at Gunn High School. They finished second and third yesterday at the Chinese New Year 10k. Mark is from the East Coast and we needed to see him today. They are being featured also in our film. We ran 5.5 miles together. Then I walked a mile with Mike after wards. A Good Day!!!!

abb crunches! 25 each side. Make sure to tighten as you go up to get the best of your workout. push ups. planks, side planks, one handed planks, hold and tighten for 40 sec. each =) it will be worth it. dead lift squats (you don't have to squat with alot of weight, even minimum weight will get you toned) bicep curls and stretch

Ran with Bob, Bill and JoAnn up Moody Road. Because I am a big weenie and the pace was a bit fast, it was a chore to stay up. No pain but just not quite used to running in the 8's. Once we started to hit the steep hill with about 400-600 meters from the turnaround and because I was still babying my calf, I dropped back. Finally I just stopped and walked for a minute and waited for my friends to come back down. Then I joined back up and ran in feeling very strong the whole way.
The calf never bothered me so good news on that front.

Feeling like I am getting back on track after a few months of set backs. Today I did my 5K in 22:44!! I have been running faster consecutive miles. Today I did the first 2 miles @ 7:30 mile pace, and then tried to do 7:03 pace. I finshed my last .2 (as I always do) with a sprint at about a 6:20 pace. Now I just need to get more miles in :)

Did the Folsom South Side trail Run today they had 38, 32 and 21 mile run I did the 21 miles that is the longest race I have done in quite awhile. The run was put on by Troy's California trail runs, And what a great job they did well marked trail and plenty of aide stations.
First 15 miles went great I was on pace to finish in about 3:45. But on long runs things do change I started slowing down and the last 4 were a struggle. Finished in 3:55. I was still happy with that. I believe was 1st in my age group and 8th overall. All in all a great day.

Ran with Mike after work today. We ran our Hilltop three mile course. Tired from our long run yesterday. Since I have a 10k race on Sunday, I don't want to over do it the next couple of days.

Bob, have a successful race Sunday. I'll be out there for the 5K the week after. I may run the 5K in the back of the pack. What the heck. It's a track so the course will be flat..lol

My issue isn't the track. I just can't run fast. Still dealing with the calf. But I'll tempo a mile this week and see how things hold up. In any case I'll be there to root you on.

Ran two miles easy with Mike. Then I ran another one mile broken up into quarters and 100's with the grand kids. It was really fun to run with them. Little Owen kept wanting to run more. Everything is holding up good and I look forward to my race number 8 on Sunday. China Town 10k

Being sick is not the business. I hate rolling out of bed just to go run but it feels so much better once I am done. Starting the day off with a run gets my day going and actually gives me a lot of energy. I switched shoes today....pulled out a pair of brand new running shoes that I despise because they give me blisters but they did me justice this morning so let’s see if I can keep it up without getting blisters....as soon as I get a blister I am going back to my COACH shoes : )

I ran the track again this morning with a few side trips up some gradual hills. I wore the Zensah calf sleeve on the right leg. It seemed to do the job of keeping my calf warm.
My calf was 90%. It was a bit tight after the run but that was due to the varied hills I added in to test things out. Otherwise the calf was okay. No clenches and no pain.

I delivered mail in the morning. Then we went to the gym after dinner. Noelle and I did the weight room then racketball. I started with the row machine, then went to the elliptical machine and then the step machine and finally the treadmill. I then played racketball with Noelle when Age and tim went to swim and finally gave up the court . I definitely got a great workout.

Got to get out to the courts after a long day at work. A small cool front came in, so we had to wear some extra gear to stay warm. We got to hit and play for about 2 hours and 20 minutes. Did not win today, but we sure had some very long games. We were both tired and drank allot of water and sports drinks. ;-)

I have been slacking off from the gym way too long with all the traveling a busy last few weeks but I made it back today. I added a brand new back machine to my workout routine. It seems to be good for all of back and sides where I now have a problem with loose skin due to a little weight loss. I hope it works fast because I have a big audition Friday, in 2 days and we have to wear a bikini of course. I think I am going to wear my Ujena Red bikini :).

Had some nice long rallies and I was really hitting the ball very hard. But since I play a very good player, he still came out ahead 6-4, 7-5. We were both tired but happy to play as well.

I stayed down on the WVC track most of my run this morning. 75 minutes of endless circling with only a few forays to the less challenging sections of the campus. I am not complaining. The flatness of it all allows me to run. Tom and Danny joined me for some of it but mostly I was a-lone.
When I got home, my Zensah compression calf sleeve had arrived in the mail. It'll give me some distributed protection with out having to always wear my tights. I only purchased one. So far I have not had issues with the my left calf. Only the right. If things change, I'll buy the other.

Had the worst time getting out of bed, but I have to say I am happy that I did and missed the rain although it was misty out I still managed to get my 2.2 today. Feels good to know I have a free night.

Cross training helps greatly in preventing endurance sports injuries. Today I enjoyed mixing it up with 1-1/4 hr elliptical trainer, 3/4 hr weights and 1/2 hr yoga.

First run in the rain of the season. It was about 49 degrees, windy and wet. We need the rain but it does make it tough to run. BUT the good news is that I ran 4.1 miles. My hamstring still feel a little odd but I think I am getting this behind me. I am tired of dealing with it...

Yesterday I ran a 10K in Pacific Grove, CA. The Together with Love Run is one of the most beautiful races I've ever done. I think the scenery had me so pumped that I ran one of my fastest 10Ks in a long time. Averaging 7:45 pace felt pretty good. I suppose all this training is finally paying off. Have a great day Everybody!

Just getting started. I downloaded an app that is a personal trainer for running. I am starting out with 1 mile, and then I will download the 5K. The 1 mile program is for 4 weeks and the 5K is a 6 week program. The 1 mile program seems a little slow to me, but I am going to follow it carefully so I don't burn out or injure myself. I followed up with weight training since I was in a gym on a treadmill and all those free weights were there. It felt good.

Conquered a very tough 10K race today above the hills of LA Chinatown. Awesome crowd - Year of the Dragon celebration too. First half was all uphill but had to stop and take a few pics at the top vista. Downtown LA and Dodger Stadium just looked so amazing from that view! Finished in about an hour, but considering how crazy that course was I'm rather proud of my time AND that I raced in my Ujena tank top:) The Fit Club rocks!!!

Ran 55 minutes this morning over at West Valley. I did get a warning about hills. My right calf "clenched" when I was running up a gentle slope. I dropped back down on the track and finished off my run there. No more big issues but I realize that for now, flat surfaces are the best.

I have been doing extra stretch with the roller to continue to work out my tight muscle around my knee up to my gluts! It is still bothering me and is about the same as it was a week ago.. It responds favorably to ice and rest. I still did the full hour of strength training in Davidson's class... I insist on working through it! I don't want to take anymore time off form my workouts! I will just do less cardio until it is back to normal.

This is a tough workout but a good one. What was your average? 1:28 would be a sub six minute mile. Which of the eight did you run the 1:28? Good job! You should do two one miles...the first one at 7:30 and the second faster than that!

Actually if I were just getting over an Achilles problem I would tend to stay away from "fast as I could" workouts. Bob makes a good point.. 2 x 1 mile would be a great next workout. 7:30 is a good pace to start at.

It's incredible that you can race with this injury. Sounds like a well worn saying, but listen to your body. You'll pull through (excuse the pun..."pull"..)

Ran this morning for 50 minutes. Not a drop of rain so I didn't get wet.
My calf didn't bother me but I still stayed on the flats as much as possible just to be cautious.

This is so weird. My right hamstring is not good at all. In fact, I am not able to run on it at all. I walked three miles around lunch time. Yesterday I felt it before I started running but it did not bother me at all in the race. This is why I am glad I count walking as a workout. Limping a mile or so would have not been good. It only would have made things worse.

Disapointed in myself but better to be safe. The ride was really tough felt like I was biking up hill for 60 + miles. Time was still good though even with the wind.

What a nice day to race in San Francisco. We started at 8am and I think it was around 50 degrees with almost no wind. There were 10,000 runners. 6500 in the Half and 3500 in the 5k. Went out strong but this race does not start until the 10 mile mark. Was able to click off some good miles in Golden Gate Park. Hit the 10 mile mark under 69 minutes and lucky for me our member Katie pulled along side. We ran the next two miles together until she pulled away at 12 miles. My goal was 1:31 and I ran 1:30:52. I can bring that down. Tough age-gorup however, that was third. John and Bobby beat met. Great to see everyone today. Honor ran well and her sister... Rhody and staff put on a good event!!!!

I ran over at Foothill College mid morning. 47 minutes (again) but better than any run I have had so far since yanking my calf three weeks ago. No tightness at all. No soreness either. My guess is that the massage has is working.
Could not believe the weather. Sunny and low 60's. This IS the reason why housing prices are so high in the bay area. Sun and moderate temperatures in early February.

The match lasted a little over two hours. Kinda bummed, but now gotta get my mind set for tomorrow. ;-)

I did my usual double workout at the gym which takes about 2 1/2 hours or more sometimes. 50 minutes of this is cardio, 60 minutes of machines, 25 minutes of abwork and some stretching.

Bob, something is out of alignment. Sometimes you think it is the hamstrings but the problem originates above or below where you feel the issue.

Forty minutes of running broken up with 20 minutes of walking thrown in along the way. Still rehabbing the calf. It is still massage sore but better than Tuesday.
Another cool sunny morning at West Valley College Track (aka...the controlled surface). Wore compression tights to protect the legs.
I must be taking it easy. One lap was close to three minutes. My buddy Danny ( he of the 25 years of sub five minute miles) joined me in progress and remarked about how quickly we were running. So we slowed it down. Who knows how fast we were really running.
We were able to catch some walkers. I want to be clear about that. Several of them in fact.

It was an easy day for me. I ran 3.2 miles easy. Just did not feel like pushing it today. I also wanted to give my legs a rest so I will be ready for the half marathon on Sunday. I would really like to get under 1:31. It is a good course but it does concern me that I have not been over 10 miles in several weeks. But I have been racing each week...

Then this afternoon I ran 3.3 miles with Mike after work. By the end, the calf was feeling worse. But then I have been working on it and that has helped. 7.5 for the day.

I dropped over to Foothill College and ran and walked for 45 minutes this morning. Most of the time (32 minutes) was easy jogging around the track. I wore "the tape" which adhered to my calf but would not stay on my hamstring. I guess I am stickier on my calf.
And speaking of the calf, it did okay. I felt some sensation towards the end of the run but nothing that freaked me out. More deep tissue massage Monday.

We had a good time though went with my friend Frank. Frank came in first in his age group 70+. I finished 2nd in mine 60 to 69. So we were both happy. Coastal trail runs put on a great run and well marked trails I always enjoy doing there runs.

I showed up at the club workout and ran an easy thirty minutes with almost no walking breaks. It was cold out (low 40's at best) so I wore my compression tights. The calf held up very well. No real problems. The club was running 5K on the track so I was able to catch up with people including Dwight Cornwell and Bill Dunn. I'll run another 30 minutes on Sunday and return for a second massage Monday morning.

This sounds like a good plan...make it happen. I would love to be battling you in a year. Be sure to get out every day no matter what. A one mile walk counts on your "rest" days...

60 minutes on the track running the straights and walking the curves. Calf feels better. Still sore but the good soreness. Like someone tapped it lightly with a hammer for an hour or two.

My hamstring is not 100% but is is feeling pretty darn good considering that just a week ago I was only walking. I did put on a hot patch before hitting the road. I ran 6.2 miles easy. I am a little tired from the race and I know I have to get in a few extra miles early in the week before racing 10 on Saturday. I am so much happier today than a week ago.

Had a great run. Slowed a bit after 18 miles as it started to get warmer, but kept it together well enough to gain a few positions.

It was raining early this morning, so I opt for the eliptical, instead of trying to go to the wet tennis courts. The sun came out about 130pm, but I was up since 8am. Did fifty minutes on the eliptical, high cardio. Then after the cooldown, did some light weights arm cardio for 15 minutes. Felt great! ;-)

I ran one mile easy and then I ran three miles and pushed it a bit. Like 8:15/mile. Then I ran another easy mile. My hamstring is about 70% but I am taping it and have a hot patch on it. I am thinking I am going to race the 5k on Sunday instead of the miler. For my race series I have to run each race at a 74% age-graded or better. That means 7:15/mile 5k for it to count. These are the rules...we will see!!!

I walked for 60 minutes this morning on a local college track. It was really cold. Maybe 30 degrees but I was dressed to the 9's including compression tights to protect my legs.
I went to see my chiropractor Monday. He adjusted my right leg and the calf felt much better about an hour later. Whatever he did it took the pressure off of the calf. I am going for a deep tissue massage next week. Otherwise my plan is to walk for 1-2 weeks and then gradually add back in running.
At least I am not limping anymore.

Walking works. Take each day as it comes. I have walked the last two days...three miles each. There is no reason to limp through a workout. I am going to walk one more day and hopefully start running again Thursday...

Tonight i am going to do the core workout again. I enjoyed it last night! I hadn't done that workout recently and i forgot how nice an all body workout you get from it. Its a little cold in that room, which i liked once i warmed up into the routine. I am excited to see definition, I find winter hard not to get soft for some reason. Maybe its having to wear the sweat pants and layered clothing, it doesn't feel like you put on any weight until you put on the dressy clothing for church! HA

Did 4.1 miles on the treadmill today. I only run on the treadmill when it's really cold, raining, or when I'm wanting to do some strength training. Today was one of those days. Does anyone do speed work on the treadmill? I've been mixing in fast quarter miles every other lap. I'm kind of liking it, or maybe it just breaks up the monotony of the treadmill? Probably the latter. Either way, i think it's working.

Here is the situation. My hamstring tighten up with about half mile to go in the 5k race on Sunday in SF. I was running sub 6:30 pace at the time and feeling great. I tired to not think about it but it got tighter and tighter. With about .2 to go I was reduce to a fast jog and by the end I barely made it across the line. Nothing pulled up but it is not good. I am getting a sport massage in a half an hour. This guy is good and I know it will help. Walked 3.2 miles this morning in the cold...and it was COLD.

Gosh I just saw the post..NO SPEED at all. Just my base. I think people are not sure how I can run OK but the years of 80 plus miles a week help. I think most people overtrain. Not shooting for a time just go out and see what happens. In the next few weeks I might try some pickups on the roads. Thank Bob

I finally did a double workout at the gym, very happy :). I now burn 500 calories on the Precor machine as often as possible and about 2 hours for everything else. The only muscle I do not work out is my biceps because they will get defined and I don't like how it looks. Great gym day though.

Went to a party last night and met an old friend who is now 350.5 pounds. Told him my story and am convinced he really does want to follow in my footsteps (ie lose ~150 pounds and run a marathon). So after an hour of spin and some ab work, headed over and walked 3 miles with him. I could see my "old" self as he struggled (in a full sweat by 1/2 mile) but I can also see his desire to change, especially since it was 8 degrees out! Got to pay it forward.

What is so nice about these local races is that it is like going to a family picnic. Afterwords Catherine, Mike and I had breakfast with Rich and Sheldon. I have known and have run with these guys forever. The bad news is that my hamstring tighten up with a half mile to go. I lost at least 30 or more seconds. I finished in 21:08.

Went up to the Ballpark 5k. Bob and I warmed up a bit together. It was cool with a slight breeze. I felt good on the pre-race jog but as soon as the race started I felt "something" in my right calf. By 90 seconds I was shutting things down. "Something" had become a stabbing pain. Ouch! I walked back and watched the race finish. If this is anything like my 4 calf pulls in 2008, it'll be 1-2 months of coming back. Rest then walking followed by walk-jogging and finally running again.
The good news was having breakfast with Bob, Catherine and Mike at The Java House. Great little out of the way place. Great prices and excellent food. Good company.
Right now I have to rest until I can walk without pain.

My plan is to do a 90% tempo run tomorrow but if it this cold I may dump the workout and run easy. That'll be a game day decision.

It was very slippery and running packages up stairs and icy driveways was not fun! It was a long day and i finished about 3:00. I definitely got my exercise today and i am so glad that i went out to eat afterwards.

I have work today, I will be on my feet up and down stairs all day, so it's a nice workout in disguise. :) So at home I did 200 crunches, 100 pushups in sets of 10, and planks all three sides for 45 seconds, then stretched for 30 minutes :)

I ran 3.2 miles today easy. For some reason the back of my heel were I rubbed off the skin last Sunday, just is not totally heal. The pain is must worse than what it looks like. I have been wearing low profile socks and even cut out part of the back of an old pair of shoes. Just one of those little things that ends up being a pain...I will deal with it.

Today was all about manual therapy (massage) and stretching. I got a list of new stretches to help loosen up tight spots and the massage definitely helps keep everything loose and flexible! Doing this every so often helps me go back to doing the more intense workouts with lower risk of injury. Have a good day all!

I have been working out daily, but now that I'm more sure I'm going to Cancun, I'm getting to focus more on specific areas to be in tip top for all my pics! So today I went to the Y for and hour of cardio, 30 minutes elliptical and 30 on the stairs. Then went to the private room for my 200 crunches and planks on all three sides. Finished up with 100 pushups in sets of 10 and 100 calva raises in sets of 20 :)

My workout consisted of a cross between many different types of workouts. With my hand injury on the mend I can start getting more intense with my workouts. The first round took me 9 minutes, including the wall sit. I stopped timing after that because I wanted to concentrate on technique. Here is my workout:
50 SQUATS
40 JUMPING JACKS
30 KNEE HIGHS
20 TRICEPS DIPS
10 BURPEES
50 CRUNCHES
40 BICYCLE LEG LIFTS
30 CALF RAISES
20 V-UPS
10 HAND RELEASE PUSHUPS
1 MIN WALL SIT
Repeated 2x
It will be easier to run more here when the snow melts. Until next time!

I got in 80 minutes this morning. Once again chilly. Mid 30's at the start. Low energy (my energy) type of run that just kept on going. Danny did a hard workout Wednesday evening and was dragging. Tom finally had mercy on us and slowed the pace.
The pay off was breakfast at the Country Inn with pancakes and coffee.
Frankly, I could easily take a nap but no time this afternoon.
Bob. Do we get points for naps?

One of my favorite forms of "exercise" is playing hard with the kids I nanny! When they were younger we would take long walks, and pushing the stroller and walking was great exercise. Now that they are older, a rousing game of basketball, monster chase, or good old fashion foot races is great to keep movement in our daily lives. So with the beautiful weather we spent a good part of the day yesterday outside running around and playing. Then last night I went to Pilates and appreciated the stretching and strengthening, I'm really starting to see the difference in my body.

I was only going to run six miles this morning but I just kept going. In the end I ran my Carly Bay 11 miler. This is a course that has it all. It starts on the city streets of Los Altos, then it goes into Rancho park, past a farm and up to the lake and back home. (Rich you know it well) I ran on the trial were I fell three weeks back. Kind of weird. I legs felt strong. This gives me 30 miles so far for the week.

It is the BallPark 5k that starts over by the Giants stadium. Want to get under 21 minutes.

It was cold out there this morning. About 39 degrees but my three layers did the trick. I don't wear anything on my legs however. For my blisters on the back of my heals I cut the toes out of a pair of low-profile socks (or whatever they are called) and that did the trick. My legs are coming back to life.

When I go to the Workout Studio I work out the whole time I am there even if I am visiting with someone I am still moving it! Started off with stretch for 15 minutes, roller, floor stretches and vertical stretches.. Moved right into circuit training with cardio and weights... cooled down the last 12 minutes with more stretching. Felt Soo Good!

Ran a very easy 4.2 miles right before lunch. It was so nice out. Like 65 degrees. This is very nice weather for January in Northern California. However, we do need the rain!!! Yet this morning my hands were really cold when Mike and I walked 1.2 miles. Legs feel pretty tired and that blister on the back of my heel is bugging me...

Lisa and I got in our 5 mile loop this morning. It was nice but cold. Ran the first 3 miles slow and then ran 6:12 pace for the last 2 miles. I feel like I'm starting to get stronger. Still have a ways to go, but it's improving.

Just did a 1.2 mile fast walk with Mike before work on some hills. Going to run 4.1 miles around lunch. Feel pretty good after the 10 Miler yesterday. I do have a blister on my left foot at the back of the heel. Wish they would have had size 12.5 instead of the 13 I got. Why do companies discontinue good shoes. It is the bright orange adidas racing flats...

Disappointing to say the least so headed back to the beach attended to happy hour and then determined to get my workout in took off on the beach and logged 6.5 miles on the sand in the dark w an amazing full moon. Ended the day on a great note after all.

It was a nice morning for running in Stockton, CA. It was about 39 degrees at the start but the sun was out so it was just fine for racing. I finished with 69:23 which was just 24 seconds slower than my goal. But considering.... I was second in my division. I really like this race...the town and the race director Larry Frank. This year was the 40th annual event. Number two of 50 down. Catherine got some good video footage for the film we are working on called "A Long Run" and stills.

I ran close to 45 minutes total this afternoon including 4 x 300 on Foothill College Track.
Because of the hamstring and head cold I had not done anything at 800 meter pace for well over a month. With my "pacer" Dimitri, we ran 61-60-60-60. Took a 200 meter walk in between reps. Tough workout but the weather was beautiful and I never lost form. Good to get back at it.

Drove over to the Los Gatos Creek Trail and ended up running for 30 minutes with my buddy Jake. He is nursing a sore upper Achilles tendon and is wisely sticking to the flats. I hadn't planned on running at all but the idea of just walking didn't seem that intereting. We did a figure eight course he had mapped out around the perk ponds.

This gives me five miles for the day. Some of that life in my legs yesterday morning has vanished. Hope it will be back by Sunday morning for my 10 mile race.

This was supposed to be an hour (went to bed early last night and got up even earlier this morning just to make time for that!) but my bum couldn't take it. Now I know I'm really out of shape--I used to be able to take around two hours before the discomfort started bothering me. I guess I'll have to invest in some proper bicycle shorts or a pillow or something.
Still can't find my dumbbells, but maybe my bum will have recovered enough for me to have another go after I get home from work.

Maybe it is not a bad idea to split it up. The main thing is that you are getting in the miles. How many miles are you covering in an hour?

Ran with Mike before work. We did our Hilltop Three Miler. It is not a real tough hill but it is long..almost a mile to the top. Then there is another hill at about 2.5 miles. For the first time since the fall I felt like I could take almost a full stride. Feels so much better. I think I will be ready to race 10 on Sunday. I am going to do another four miles later.

Bob,
May see you at the Ballpark 5k on the 15th.

Had a great leg night last night. Today is upper body, not just arms. I am going to try some new bicep and tricep exercises while including back, delts, shoulders, and chest. A lot of crunches, planks, etc coming my way!

Finally got my brainpan sorted out a bit, so I'm back. Still too dark in the morning/evening for running during the week, and I've gained weight since I last exercised (it's horrible), so I should probably take it easy for a little while.
My turbo trainer arrived today and my brother fetched my bike and set it up for me in my bedroom, so I had a nice thirty-ish minute bike ride (watched two anime episodes). Wanted to go longer, but I forgot to get water when I started, and when I went downstairs to get some, I learned that it's really loud. Which means if I want to use it while people are home/sleeping, I'll have to haul it downstairs into the living room, where it's a lot quieter.
I'm sweaty and gross and a bit tired (should be more tired, will have to go an hour next time or dig out my dumbbell set again), but it's the good kind of accomplished tired instead of the usual "tired of life" miasma I've had lately, so I'm going to be properly determined and keep up this exercise thing! (At the very least, I have a half marathon in April I don't want to miss.)

That's what happened to me last year--I refuse to be surprised like that twice in a row, because that would be just sad. We don't have much traffic here, so I'm not too worried about going out in the dark (as long as dawn is soon, or dusk isn't too far in the past), but I've watched a little too much "true crime" on television lately (thanks Mum), so I'll wait 'til there's more light, thanks all the same. Not looking forward to the stupid "daylight savings" messing things up either...

Today was my long bike ride and wow it couldn't have been more perfect. If I could order up weather conditions like today for the double century I'm training for, today would be what I wish for and I just might be able to conquer it.
Rode 90 mile pace ride in 6hrs 15min. avg mph 14.4 ascent 2536. One of my best rides, thanks to the dreadful Santa Ana winds that have been plaging us the past couple of months. As much as I hated them (and on 2 occasions considered calling to be picked up), I told myself to keep going as it will make be stronger. Guess it worked, cause today in great conditions I felt strong. Can't wait for next weekend for the Stagecoach Century!! Hope the wind will be still.

I slept in a bit this morning after my days of travel, so I didn't get the early morning workout in, instead it was the mid morning workout :) Kept it at home today for a 20 minute jog followed by some stretching. Then used the brick wall out front for my step ups and calf raises. Inside, i did 200 crunches, plank for 60 seconds each side and lastly, traditional squats with my dumb bells for some added resistance :)

Does anyone have a recommendation for new shoes? I have a high instep, but i was wondering if there are shoes out there that are good for my achilles issue???

Today was my day to bike Mandeville Canyon 2X, a long 5 mile hill up and fast down for a total of 19 miles 1844 ascent. My pace was off a bit going up but it was to be expected, I would normally take a recovery day prior to my Hills after my long ride but my schedule this week needed to be adjusted. All in all felt great especially since it was the first hot day in a couple months and my nutrition has been less than steller during the Holidays.

Ok so finally did a real recovery ride today, 44 miles, 2 1/2 hours along the beach path Pacific Palisades to Palos Verdes and back. I thought it would be quiet with the Holiday over but I guess school still out, everyone was out with their new toys and I was reminded why I stick to PCH and the hills. Much safer than the kids playing with their toys on the path. Went to the gym for strength training 1 hour afterwards, felt good.

I used to split my strength workouts into upper and lower and train every other day giving 2 days rest for each muscle group which is the ideal for maximum muscle strength. But with a high endurance sport workload that schedule would not give the body enough recovery time so 1-2 days a week total body is the ideal for the over 50 age athlete. Seems to work but I must admit I wish I had the time and body to do it all. In my next life my full time job will be athletics:)
This life I had to work to pay for my fitness habits.

Yeah, nothing tastes better than oatmeal and scotch on the rebound. lol Yesterday I was 3.5 hours on the mountain bike and suffered the entire day. Took a nice header over the handlebars so have a stiff neck today.
Today is a full rest and recovery day as I've been out on the bike 8 of the last 9 days. Felt good to sleep in with 11 hours in the sack! Playing catchup with everything else now.

Working out in the basement,with Dad. His back is better so he's gonna train me then he'll do his workout after. I really like the dance games and wii fit better, but the weights give me more toning in my arms and the elliptical is good for my legs. BUT.. the marching game yesterday got my muscles cramping so i know it was working. LOL

Ran with my son Mike this morning before work. We ran our 3.2 mile course. Ran easy talking the whole way. Really enjoy these runs with Mike. And there is no better way to start off the day. It was foggy but not cold. 50 degrees is ideal running weather... (Photo from race on Jan 1st in SF)

Ran an easy 50 minutes this morning. It was cold when I started out but warmed up about 10-15 degrees during the workout so by the time I was finished I was overdressed in tights, long sleeve top, hat and gloves.
My goal was to get a run in but recover from yesterday's workout.
It was deserted on the streets of Cupertino and over at the De Anza track and I didn't even start my run until around 9 am. Just deadsville. A few walkers and one other runner. I guess the resolution runners hadn't kick started their 2012 programs yet. I remember them out in the Baylands back in the day. One rain would sweep them away and only the regular handful of runners would still be out there.

This morning was a non traditional workout. I started out taking the dog for a quick jog, about 20 minutes. Following that, since I have my 5 year old nephew with me, we went out to the front in the road and kicked the soccer ball around for almost an hour, he is a mini league for soccer so I let him choose what we got to do :) After he tired out, I came inside and make him some soup and sandwich and while he was eating that I got my crunches, planks and squats in :)

It was nice and my knee was feeling the best it has since the fall. My Garmin said 5.2 miles giving me 39 miles for the week so far AND 2000 miles for the year. I hope everyone is going to have a wonderful fulfilling year. Be safe tonight...5k in morning!

I took three days off from running due to this nasty little head cold. I felt much better today. Dimitri and I met a Foothill track in the easy afternoon. The temperature was in the high 50's, the sun was out and there was a slight breeze.
I really wanted to do the workout of three weeks ago but finish it.
We warmed up for 15 minutes and then did some striders.
Using my HRM, we ran an 800 at AT effort. We dropped a 3:35 which surprised me. I expected something slower. After a 200 meter walk we ran 4 x 400 in 94 seconds average. We walk half a lap for recovery.
Then we ran another 800 at AT effort. Tired from the 400, we only ran a 3:53 but the time is less important than the effort.
To conserve energy we walked a lap cool down. I was more interested in the core of the workout rather than piling up minutes.
I used 168-173 for AT. My actual AT might be higher but I wanted to be safe.
During the 400's my heart rate hit 177-179. I was working but was nowhere near all out.

Went to the gym this morning with Allison. Started with one lap around the indoor track to warm up my mucles, then stretched for 20 minutes. To start my workout, I did the elliptical for 30 minutes, then the stair stepper for the second 30 minutes. In the free weights room, I did my squats in front of the mirror holding 8 lbs dumb bells. I also did my back extension on the machine while holding a 20 pound round weight against my chest. Then I went to the stretching room where they have mats and did my 200 crunches, planks at 45 seconds each side and my pushups, 10 sets of 10. Finished up with 50 calf raises and stretching for another 20 to stay limber!!

I walked about 2 miles around the walking trails where I live, did some stretching and saw a new exercise video online, at least new to me, for upper back and sides so I tried it. I did 50 will do more the next time. It is called "flies". They have a machine at gym for this but I never tried it there. I like this manual way though. You just lift arms up and down from the sides and be sure to bend knees slightly. It seems like it works good :).

Well, I didn't have time to go to the gym this morning so I took a nice RAINY jog instead! My jog was about 20 minutes and when I got back I did a quick two sets of step up on the rock wall, 2 sets of 25 each legs. Inside, I did my crunches, 200 (8 sets of 25) and pushups, 100 (10 sets of 10) Lastly, I was able to get 50 squats in holding my dumbbells before I had to hit the shower and get ready!

When someone says they want a cold one, I would tell them to show up at West Valley "cool"-ege
At 8:30 on a week day morning. I met up with Tom and ran 60 minutes. I already had ten in the bank so I hit 70 total.
It was frosty (30's) but we persevered. The problem with a slow pace is that it takes longer to warm up. I am chancing it because I have a very mild sore throat. The empahsis is on mild. I feel good otherwise. As Tom and I were running he looked down at his GPS watch and exclaimed, "Oh good. An eleven minute mile pace!"
I told him to count minutes not miles. Eleven minutes is eleven. Your body doesn't care. It registers duration, not distance. Of course secretly the idea that we were running that slow horrified me. It also made me want to laugh. In a few years we'll be running slower.

I worked out at a local gym in Michigan, did treadmill for 50 minutes, walking uphill though so didn't really burn too many calories. They did not have the precor eliptical that I use there. Then I just did some crunches and stretching. Can't wait to get back to my gym in Vegas.

One of my Christmas "gifts" to my wife was running 3 miles instead of my usual ~20 mile Sundays. Christmas bells affixed to my new red Nike Frees, I stepped outside and was greeted with peaceful Christmas snowflakes floating down to earth. Jingling my way down the street, singing "Merry Christmas" wishes to the people I passed, I finally found myself standing in front of my mom's headstone that has been there for 49 of my 50 years. I thanked her for the snow, wished her a Merry Christmas, wiped the tears away from my eyes and bounced my way home to the warm loving arms of my beautiful wife. Merry Christmas to all and may you feel the love of everyone around you. :)

Ran 66 minutes at West Valley College. It was down around freezing and puddles of water were iced over. As part of the run, I went down to the track and did a set of 8 x 100 strides. I pushed a couple of them to see how the hamstring was doing. It didn't bother me one iota.
This was a double glove and ski cap day. Luckily there was no wind.

You sound like you bruised your ribs. You're lucky. You could have cracked a rib or two. That takes 6-8 weeks to recover from. But it sounds like you just beat yourself up. Now you know what those pro QBs feel like after a game. Have a good run.

Early morning 75 minutes with the HRM strapped on. Aimed to stay around 70% of max which due to the colder temperatures (low 40's) meant that I had to push a bit to get into my zone. I felt very strong throughout. I have a standard course for 75 minutes but had to add distance to hit my time goal. The course was challenging. Some good hills with plenty of rollers. Not too much flat.

Had an awesome workout this morning. Started with 20 minutes of stretching, followed by 30 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes on the stepper. Then went to the free weight room and did my squats with the 40 lbs bar and crunches on the ball. Also did my regular crunches, 100 of each. Lastly went back to the stretching room and did 500 calve raises and stretched to end my workout limber!

I walked two miles with Mike this morning before work. Then I walked and ran (3/4 of a mile) three miles this afternoon giving me five miles for the day. From a running stand point it is my knee and my ribs that is the issue. But nothing is broken and they are coming along as well as my face. Good to get out in the fresh air. I am taking vitamin E and C too!

Ran with my friend Frank today he hasn’t been able to run for the last two weeks because first he went on a week long cruise to Mexico and on the Cruise both Frank and Linda got sick this was the first day he has felt like running. We ran a slow 4 miles then frank headed home not wanting to over do it. I continued on and did another 13 to give 17 for the day.

I was set to hit 60 miles this week. And in fact I stopped at the 3.5 mile mark and did four 400 (97/93/91/87) and then I got back on the road. The plan was to finish my 15.2 mile course. At about 11 miles into the road I was running in front of the lake and a friend starting running with me. Within a half of a mile I went down. Lucky for me a woman (Easter) was there within 20 seconds with tissue. I tired to stop the bleeding as she went to get her car. Got to the hospital and 60 stitches later I am home. I was in the hospital for nearly four hours. Nothing is broken and I will recover but for some reason I did not break the fall. Next week will be a 30 mile week with a lot of it walking. Walking counts...check out my photo on my profile. I am just going to leave it up for one day since I know I look like a monster. Be safe everyone...

Went to a Christmas Party last night and they had a raffle for my Berlin Marathon Cystic Fibrosis fund for my 12 year old niece Julia. Told them if the pot went over $262, I would run a marathon today. Ended up raising $320 so I kept my end of the bargain plus added an additional mile because I miscalculated my route. Ended up running 27.28 miles but more importantly raised $320 for CF. :)

I ran seventy minutes this morning including some time over at Foothill College doing 100 meter striders at around a six minute mile pace. It was a stress test to see where my left hamstring is. The hammie did not bother me so I think in a week or two I can add back in some rep work.
I wore the compression tights again to protect my legs. It was cold but not that seeping cold of Saturday.
Since the Kinesio tape is not sticking to my skin, the compression tights are the backup.

60 slow minutes this morning. It was cold ( for California ). High 30's. I could feel the cold seeping in through my hi tech gloves.
The course had some good hills along the way. I had absolutely no desire to push the pace.

Was planning on doing 6 miles but ended up doing 10 so I could have a chocolate milk (the world's greatest recovery drink!).

I had a good workout at a local gym in Queens where I am staying. I did 50 minutes of precor machine, 20 minutes of abwork, 20 minutes of stretching, and 30 minutes of other machines :).

Went out before work with Mike. We ran very easy 3.2 miles. I think this is all I am doing today. My legs are feeling good and I want to get in 15 miles over the weekend. A lot going on but I will make the time...

Well...I am H A P P Y to say that I got a 5 mile run in today. The last month my running has not been up to par. It's easy to get out of the routine... the weather is cold, it's busy this month, blah, blah blah! I can always count on having the FIT CLUB in the back of my mind as a gentle "reminder" to set the excuses aside, lace up the running shoes, put on a few extra layers and hit the road. Today... I DID JUST THAT! And, it feels pretty good. Let's continue to encourage one another to get out and get moving! This photo is of me and my brother Mike... a person that inspires me EVERYday!!!

I went out during lunch to run six miles but I ended up running 11 miles. Then I walked a mile with Mike after work. I did this because the UjENA FIT Club has inspired me to reach 50 miles again this week. Actually, this gives me 62 miles for the last seven days. I have not been over 60 miles for years. I like getting in this base. I ran easy today...like 8:20/mile pace. I did pick it up for one mile...and the one mile walk was important too!

I purchased a pair of vibram 5 toe shoes yesterday to try for running. i'm following what the company recommends to acclimate myself to these shoes.
i did the treadmill at 15% incline 3.5 mph for a mile
then i went to 3.5% incline at 3.5mph for a 1 1/2 miles
then i did 1/4 mile at 6.5mph twice
This was the first time I was able to do this without getting shin splints
So i am going to keep moving forward and if this improves from here it will be wonderful

It's always fun to just go out running without any other agenda than to "just run for about 2 hours". Was approaching the house when I finally looked at my Garmin and it said 10.50. Figured I might as well add on another 2.75 to get 3 extra points on the fit log. Ended up at 13.25 in 1:58. Without the fit log there is no question I would have stopped at 10.50. Thanks Bob. :)

Went to the gym this morning with Allison for our workouts. We don't really do the same things so we are kinda separated after cardio. But we start in the stretching room, for 20 minutes. Then we both do elliptical for 30 minutes and she stays on while I move to the stair stepper for my second 30 minutes. After that I went to the free weights room to do some leg and arm toning. Did this for about 20 minutes. Then I took myself to the abs group machines and did three different machines for abs, as well as back extensions holding the 15 pound round weight. Lastly, I met Allison in the stretching room for 200 crunches (8 sets of 25) and 100 pushups (10 sets of 10) and finally, calve raises 10 sets of 20 Ended with 20 minutes stretching :)

Ran 68 minutes this morning up at Forbes Mill with Jake. It was sunny and cold. Maybe high 30's. Included in the run were two dam loops of 25:55 and 24:45. My energy level was superb. I felt like I was just flowing along. My hammie was a non factor even though I did pick up the last quarter mile of the last loop to test it. I did feel some very mild tightness afterward but by the time I finished breakfast I no longer felt it at all.
I am not going to push it until I feel nada at the end of a pick up.

I have a pretty killer cold right now, so I wasn't able to run too much today. I did get about 15 minutes of running outside in, but with the cold weather combined with my nose and throat not being in great condition right now, I did more toning. 200 crunches, 8 sets of 25, and 100 push-ups, 10 sets of 10. Finished up with my squats and 25 minutes of stretching.

I wasn't sure how I would be feeling today after the 15 miles yesterday but I felt okay. We ran our Justin 10 miler on the trails over by his house in San Jose. It is a nice paved bike path with a marker at each half mile point. We went out easy hitting the six mile mark in 46 minutes...7:30/mile pace. But then we picked it up. I ran the last three miles at 6:50/mile. Justin ran his last mile in 6:15. My total time was 1:12:57 or 7:18/mile. And this gives me 53 miles for the week. Thanks again Tony for the little push on Saturday. He reminded me of my 50 mile goal.

A friend and I drove up to Golden Gate Park and ran 55 easy minutes. It was cool but not cold. Maybe mid 40's. I had no problems with the hamstring and even thought about testing things a bit with a strider or two....
But I didn't.
I promised that I would take it easy for two weeks from the date of the injury. If all is well by next Sunday I will try something faster.
Good thing I ran five days this week or my weekly total would not have exceeded Bob's total mileage for just Saturday and Sunday. Whew! That was close. ;-)

I ran my Owen Long 15 miler (15.2 miles) this morning. I was only going to do four miles with Mike but Tony reminded me of my 50 mile weekly goal. I was going to do 13 but decided on 15.2 instead. This is my longest run since August 21 when I ran this course too. I have only been doing this course since June 2010 and this was my second best time. I went out real easy hitting the six mile mark at 46 flat (7:40 pace) but then I picked it up a bit. At 11 miles I took some Glu I was carrying and within a half mile I had a surge of energy. I ran mile 14 in 6:54 and mile 15 in 7:19. My total time was 1:53:15 for an average of 7:27/mile. I had tape on my hamstring which worked. I can feel it a bit now but not bad. I am planning on doing 10 miles with Justin and Mike in the morning. That will give me 53 miles for the week. This is the month I want to avg 50/week...

I got out early and ran an easy 50 minutes over at West Valley College. Tried the Kinesio tape for the first time but it wouldn't stay on so I finally trashed it. It was cold out but luckily I had tights on and the run was uneventful as far as the hamstring was concerned. I could feel it now and then but there was no pain.
Frankly I am just glad to be running. I'll baby the hammie until it disappears.

Started with step up on the rock wall out front, 3 sets of 20 for a total of 60, 30 each leg. Inside, I did 8 sets of 25 crunches for abs and held a plank for 60 seconds. For arms, I did 10 sets of 10 push-ups. Legs to finish up I did 3 sets of 15 squats holding my dumb bells, for a total of 45. Now It's time for my friend from H.S. wedding!!

Elev gain today was 2556 ft. Ran out of gas at the end and had to walk a little of the last hill. So my last mile was in the 13 min range. I guss I will just keep working at it.

Clarksburg has been holding the Country Run for 46 years. It is a very small California town located in the Delta by the Sacramento river. It is such a fun event. I have been wanting to run here for years. My goal was 1:30:59 and I ended up with 1:30:37. First in my division 60 plus and 103rd overall. A lot of competition. I hit the six mile mark in 40:42 which is about 41:53 for 10k which is faster than I normally have been running 10k lately. I hit 10 miles in 68:37. I feel off the pace the last 5k but only because I did loose some focus. My overall pace was 6:55. This now will be a race I will run annually.

Ran an easy 70 minutes this morning around West Valley College and the surrounding neighborhood. My friend Tom ran most of the way with me. My hamstring did not seem to be an issue unless I started to push, so I kept things on the conservative side. I know I am going to have to take easy for awhile until it heals up. Good opportunity to do some base building and also to run some hills.
It was cold ( for Saratoga ). High 30's and low 40's but after the mist burned off it was really sunny. Wore two layers on top and high tech gloves. Probably should have worn tights.

Did you put any tape on it? In any case it sounds like you had a good workout. It is tough to run when it is cold. But we still have it easy compared to most of the country.

I hit the road about 4pm and it was already getting dark during the last couple of miles. This would be a tough time of the year to start a running program. Not only the dark but also the cold. But I am hooked and nothing will get in my way. Might do another easy mile with Mike in a bit.

One of those days where I was really short on time like yesterday. But I got out and ran 4.1 miles. I am really thinking I want to do a longer one tomorrow. Not sure what the distance yet, however. Have no races planned for the rest of the year. My first race is planned for January 1st in SF. This will be my first of 50 I am doing in 2012...no better way to celebrate 50 years of running and racing...

Quads are doing fine I really don't run downhill that fast anymore. I took five years off because of knee problems Just started running again 3 years ago ist year was all on a tread mill. This was my 1st year to race again. I take it pretty easy on the down hills but have been getting faster slowly. I put most of my effort on the uphills.

I ran an easy 45 minutes today and threw in several striders along the way. My left hamstring definitely tightened up during the strides telling me that I have what Bob likes to call "a situation".
I seem to be okay when I run easy so that's what I'll be doing until I get over this bump in the road.

I usually do these on the track. Start with a 300m slow/easy jog, I try and do this in 2:30, yes, thats slow! Then once I hit the 300m mark, I tag a 100m HARD but CONTROLLED. I do 8 of these and every other week I add 1-2 reps until I reach the 22-24 mark in a workout. Benefits: Really works the fastwitch muscles and within a few weeks you'll increase your stride, which results in faster times- which is everyone's goal! Give them a try someday, I wouldn't recommend doing this workout but once a week, can really cause some havoc on the body, if done correctly you'll probably be sore in the hammie area. Good Luck club members!

I got out right before lunch and ran six miles. I am thinking about doing another two miles with Mike after work. Been a busy day and one of those types of days where it could have been easy not to run. This is why I have a streak going where I run every day. And I get it at least 30 miles per week. Plus of course the points for the UjENA FIT Club. It all helps get me out the door and I have been doing this for 49 years. Easy pace today about 8:20/mile.

Bob Anderson and I ran a 6 mile hilly course this morning that he refers to as the lake run. It was quite an experience. The pace was much faster than I was used to but I gamely hung even though the first three miles was mostly uphill but at least it was mostly downhill coming back. I had to fall back on my ability to be able to talk at almost any pace which served me well.
We ran in the low eights which if age graded is like running in the low 6's when I was around 30 years old.

Did a 25 minute warm up around my house and over a Foothill College as a preamble to a tempo-speed workout.
Ran 2 x 800 in 3:30 ( seven minute pace) with a short rest in between. Pace felt easy.
Then did 4 x 400 in 94-95 with a short rest. Would have run faster but for an issue mentioned below.
Jogged an easy 15 minutes afterward.
Upper left hamstring was tight. Strange because Bob had a similar problem this past week. It actually felt better as I ran and I took advil and iced right after.

Justin and I ran ten miles this morning. It was like 39 degrees but once we got going it was okay. At least there was no wind this morning. A lot of times there is on this bike and running trail in San Jose. Do you know the way to San Jose? In any case, we ran at 7:33 pace talking the whole way. Neither of us felt out pushing it... Gives me over 50 miles for the week and I should hit 2000 miles for the year. Just need to average 44 miles per week for the next four weeks.

Took my workout to the gym this morning since it's getting very cold outside! Started off with two laps around the track for warm up and them stretched for 15 minutes. Then it was to the elliptical for 30 minutes and then the stair stepper for another 30 minutes. For toning, I used the lateral pull, 3 sets of 10 and then went to the free weights room and did 200 crunches and 50 calf raises. My legs were fairly tired from hour of machines so instead of doing my usual squats AND plie's I just stuck with 2 sets of 15 standard deep dip squats with the 20 pound bar. Feel great and ready to watch my team win now!

It was windy and cold but the Bah Humbug 5k race is always fun. It is held in San Ramon, California. I have run it about six times over the years. I finished in 20:32 which is a 6:36/mile average. I wanted to go faster but the wind slowed me down. I hit the first mile in 6:44 which cost me at least 15 seconds. Pictured after the race with Ujena Fit Club members Honor and Shelley. They both ran well...20:41 and 22:18. Honor and I battled it out over the first two miles. Michael ran 27:17. He has had a cold all week which cost him at least two minutes.

Cold (28 degrees), dark (6 AM) and hilly, but nothing beats running 10 miles with other running buddies. Always a great way to start the day. :)

I ran a very easy 60 minutes this morning. Cool and breezy weather conditions.
I ran around my neighborhood in Cupertino and then went over to De Anza and did what I call Super Loops which is the par course around the track, the soccer field and around a section of the campus.
Tomorrow is my weekly "hard day" over at Foothill Track.

I drove over to Forbes Mill in Los Gatos this morning and ran an easy 72 minutes. It wasn't that cold but the wind blew me around quite a bit. My buddy Jake ran part of the way with me but he is recovering from a cold so he wasn't at par.
I tend to run for minutes versus distance so I have no early idea of how far I actually went.

Took a nice jog to the stadium for my sets of stairs, this time I amped it up to three set across the stadium of stairs.... I think I will do this about two times/ week for a little added cardio/legs training. After do my stairs I took a jog back to the house where I did my stretching for 30 minutes now that my muscles were all warmed up. Following my stretches I went outside to the brick wall and did 25 step-ups each leg.. I'm trying to take advantage of the wall before it gets snowy/icy! After legs training I came inside for my 200 crunches. I will be taking the dog for a couple walks as I do every day so that's a little added low key workout I've adde to my routine now that we inherited my late uncle's doggy :)

I want to get in some more miles between now and the end of the year. I know I can run some better times than what I have been doing. The trick will be to stay injury free. I am also planning on doing another couple of miles with Mike after work. Photo from the 10k race last Sunday.

Went for about an hour long jog this morning in some extreme fog! It was incredibly cold too, but luckily I was jogging plus had some pretty warm workout gear on so it turned out to be refreshing. At home, I did 2 sets of 20 hop ups on the brick wall, then 200 crunches and 2 sets of 15 squats, before stretching for about 20 minutes. Hopefully, the rain will stay away so I can continue to get a decent run in... I'll run in the rain, but I'd prefer not to! lol

A few weeks back I had a little bug that kept me from running for two weeks. Add the holiday in there.. and next thing you know, I was off my running game. The Turkey Trot on Thursday and today's 5 mile run has me motivated and ready to tackle some miles this week. This photo is of me and my AWESOME Dad at the Turkey Trot!

This does not sound good. Have you gotten a set of heel lifts yet? That really helped me. I put them in my dress shoes and also in my running shoes until the pain went away. I know how you feel...it is not good!

My tennis partners said it was too cold and windy to play tennis. So I had to settle for indoor cardio tennis for 30 minutes, it was tough, still sore from yesterday. Then did the elliptical for an hour. Very tough the last 15 minutes, was getting tight and tired, but did it. Soaked and felling good. ;-)

Ran 10k in Golden Gate Park this morning. I have run this race at least 15 times over the last 20 years. It was good running weather but there was a breeze. And this is not a fast course. There are a lot of rolling hills. I ran 42:01. I wanted to go under 42 and I missed it by two seconds. I placed 35th overall and first in my age group. But a friend of mine who is 59 ran 39 minutes. He turns 60 in two months.

It is Thanksgiving Day and the gym is closed. I went for a jog/walk with L.B. this morning. It was great to get some fresh air. Time goes by slower when I jog/walk as opposed to when I am in the gym. L.B. is a great partner in jogging. He is always pulling me to go ahead. Some it will be dinner with the FAMILY.

Disappointed with my time (4:14) at NYCM but that will just motivate me to push myself harder in Miami in Jan 2012. Developed the worlds largest blister on my right foot and lost both piggy toenails but just the price I have to pay I guess. Stopped and helped a girl who was crying along the course. Helped her up, walked with her and gave her a pep talk. Probably more important than a time goal. :)

Allison wasn't able to make our gym date this morning so I did my morning run to the high school and through the stadium stairs, then back home. At home I did my 200 crunches and planks on all three sides for 45 seconds each. 2 sets of 20 squats with my 8lbs weights and 2 sets of 14 plie's with weights. Lastly, went to the brick wall out front and did my hop ups and calf raises before stretching for 25 minutes while watching the news :)

Just got back from running my Michael 10k course. I ran about 8:30/mile pace. I am planning on running again in a couple of hours with Mike. Hope to get up to 10 miles for the day. BTW, last week was my 156th straight week in a row that I have run or walked (mostly running) at least 30 miles...that's three years.

The wind this morning in Santa Cruz was so bad...like over 15 miles/hour. My time was just under 47 minutes. I am not going to count this as an official race. However, it was a good training run for my next two turkey runs. The San Jose Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning and the Run Wild run next Sunday.

Though I edited most of the day, I got away for two hours. Stretched, walked and jogged for 5 minutes and on to the tennis court for cardio practice hitting for an hour and a half, with 1 minute rests in between drills. Which I could have done another 45 minutes or so, but had to finish some commitments. ;-)

I have a 10k race in the morning and I just ran 2.2 miles this morning. It was cold and I ran in sweats. But this will be the perfect temperature for racing in the morning. I just hope there is not going to be wind or rain in the morning in Santa Cruz. Really would like to get under 41:30...which would be my best of the year.

After getting up super early, I got home and took a lil nap before my lift. I went to the gym and lifted for an hour and did the elliptical instead of stairs today, for 45 minutes to switch up my cardio routine. Have one more day on this project tomorrow then I'll have three days off before starting my next one so I'll be able to do my morning routines for those few days at least!

I ran and walked three miles today. My legs actually do not feel too bad but I know they will feel more tired tomorrow. That is the way it seems to work and then by Thursday I should have the life back in them. Sunday is my next race. A 10k and I hope to get under 41:30.

Up early and ran 3 miles. It has been really warm the last couple of days. I would like to go for a swim but the water is freezing and it is too expensive to turn on the heater! Might hit the gym later for the pool time.

I had a very full day today with company for my nephew's 2nd b'day so I was up at 6:45 for my workout which included: A mile run, hop ups on the brick wall out front as well as calf raises on the same wall. Then I came inside for my planks, crunches and squats. Finally, I finished up with stretching. It was somewhat of a light day day so Allison and I made plans to hit the gym tomorrow afternoon for a heavy workout to kick off the week right!

It has been raining just about non-stop all day! So needless to say, my workout this morning was a wet one! I did a light day today, ran for 20 minutes around the neighborhood, to the high school through the stadium once and back home which totaled approx 1.6 miles. At home I did my stretching for 30 minutes and finished up with some toning moves which I use my couch. Some examples being tricep dips on the arm of the couch and hip raises with my legs up on the couch seat and body of the floor, lifting my hips while squeezing my booty. I have an early morning workout scheduled for tomorrow before helping set up for Hunter's birthday party!

But I really am not feeling it yet. And now my hamstring is pulling a little. Always like this getting ready for a race. You just have to ride with it. Most of the time it all works out and then the gun goes off...lets race!!!!

Allison, her mom, who is a retired Army veteran and I went and I went to Cape Horn Loop Trail today. It was about 25 miles out of Portland, we headed out before the sun had risen fully. Allison's mom had hiked this trail before so I was comforted to have her along with us! The hike was a little over 10 miles total and at one point had an AMAZING view of the Columbia from a very high point and towards the end we were about level with the river. There was a waterfall and lava rocks... honestly the views of this hike made the difficulty seem so much easier because it was just stunning! The hike itself was pretty challenging as it brought us to pretty high elevations and getting up there was a great leg workout! This is definitely a hike I would love to do again - Allison, her mom and I are going to plan to go again, before January because they had signs up stating that part of the trail closes for nesting starting Jan. I like the idea of doing different things to workout, it keeps things from getting dull, and for myself, someone who gets bored really easily, I need to keep things interesting!

Went to the gym today rather than doing an outside workout. Started off stretching for 15min, then went to the elliptical for 30min and the stair stepper for another 30min. After cardio, I used two machines, the laterall pull and the abs twist. I'm not big on machines, so after using these two, I did the rest of my weight lifting/toning in the free weights room. Finished up with calve raises before stretching for 15 minutes. Tomorrow will be back to the high school for an outside workout :)

I was feeling much better this morning so I went for a run to the high school where I did my two sets of stadium stairs, full side. Second jogged home and did 300 crunches (because I was only able to make up for 100 yesterday!) as well as 15 front lunges on each leg. Finishes up with 45 seconds planks and 2 sets of 15 squats and plie's holding my 8 lbs dumb bells in each hand! PS - Check out my new pics from the fashion show on Sunday! <3 <3

After watching the New York City marathon I got so inspired that I went to the track. I ran two 1 miles (6:37 and 6:29) and two 400 (91 and 91). Then I ran 1.75 miles easy and then pushed one mile around the college. In all I ran a little more than five miles. I have to start doing one mile repeats on the track once a week.

The winds finally calmed down a bit so headed out on one of my favorite bike routes. There are 3 major climbs over 3 miles each with some steep ramps at 12-18%. Today was all about finding a comfortable pace and then retreating to within yourself and getting in that special zone. Had a nice tailwind coming home so that was nice. Total ride time was 2hr20min and about 35 miles.

It's a great way to start the day, not to mention we don't feel as guilty stuffing our face with turkey and mashed potatoes later in the day. All 3 kids will be competing in the 5, 7 and 9 year old division. Lisa is doing the 10K and I'm doing the 5K. Wish us luck!

So we got out to the court around 230 pm and played till 515 pm, almost three hours. Had a nice long warm up session and then he played king of the hill. Play best of three and keep playing until you loose. This old guy showed his past students (one who is a tennis teaching pro) that the old man can still whip up on them. Excellent level a playing by all....;-)

Today was finally back to a normal fall day here in NY! I leave out in the country in the middle of no where. So far out on a dirt road! My house is on a 3 mile circle loop. Perfect for a walk or jog. Did a nice warm up walk of a mile and a half. Then jogged the rest of the way. Trying to push myself to jog the whole 3 miles and soon be able to run it =]

I decided to run the Clarksburg Half Marathon November 13 and I needed to get in a long run. So I ran my Carly Bay 11 miler at just under 8min/mile pace. I took the first half easy and then pushed the second half. Want to get in a solid 45 miles this week.

Played my tennis buddy for two and a half hours. We had a great warm-up and played only two sets. He beat me 7-6, 6-4. But we played such long points and had some nice long rallies. We began at 530 and finished right at 800 pm. I am so sore, but loving it, now to eat a good meal, ice down and a hot shower.....love tennis...;-)

Went on another hike today with miss Allison! This time she chose the location and she did a great job! This one wasn't quite as long as our first one, but it was closer to home and probably good it was a lil shorter considering it started raining on us! Once we got to the peak there were benches and we used those for some toning moves as well as a grassy area where we did out crunches and squats before heading back down! Defn a COLD and WET hike, but fun and physically rewarding!

I guess I pushed it more than I thought yesterday. It was only a five mile race but today my legs were really tired. Maybe it was not short? Anyway, it was fun running in the Palo Alto baylands. Today I ran 4.1 miles.

Jogged over to the high school today and did my two sets of stairs at the stadium. It was a bit wet so afterwards I took it back to my house to do my toning. Started with hop ups on the brick wall out front, then went inside for my 200 crunches, and planks. Finished up with 3 sets of 15 squats holding my dumb bells. :)

Set out this morning on a 5 mile run and it turned into 12. It's funny how that happens sometimes. I really enjoy that type of running from time to time. Something different for me. No plan, who cares about pace, just go until your body says it's time to head for home. The course took me up into the hills of Everygreen Valley to a trail called Montgomery Hill. Alot of high school cross country meets are held at this location and some of hills are brutal. The steepest ones aren't great for running, but if you enjoy pain and going straight up, the views of the San Francisco Bay Area are awesome once you get to the top. Plus going down is the best. Great start to the day!

I am taking it easy this week (after running 44 miles and 3 races with Bob in Cabo). Monday will be my get back at it day. I have to shave 4 minutes off my Cabo 15K time for Cancun, and I am seriously considering running the San Jose half (Bob... you had to throw that out there - LOL!)

The wrist is holding up pretty well. I'm staying focused and remembering not to push it too hard...don't need to be a superhero, just need to get on a regular routine that makes the most sense for me. I need to read my own body and maintain my own pace...not worry about what others are doing so much.

Just ran a 10K last weekend in Livermore . Unfortunately, I made a mistake and got off course. Had to make u-turn and head back to the correct path which cost me a little time... This race also has a 1/2 marathon and 5K. It is an out and back along a paved path and the 10K runners have to navigate thru a "sea" of 5K runners going both directions on the path -- sometimes a daunting task. Great weather that day!

Did an at home workout today, minus my jog this morning which lasted about 25 minutes. At home I did these programs I have on my phone that go through different workouts for abs, arms, legs and stretches... they are actually really affective and I think I will be using them more. Some of the moves they have are squats and crunches which I do already, and some different moves like scissor kicks, pelvic raises, wall sits... stuff that you already know about but don't necessarily think to do as much as your routine... so It was a nice change up from the norm.

My best friend Allison and I went to the gym this morning and started out with two laps around the track before stretching for about 20 minutes. After stretching I got on the stair stepper and Allison got on the treadmill next to me and we stayed there for a little over an hour. Following that I took her downstairs to the free weights and we did a few sets of squats and lunges, and lastly plie's. For arms I did curls with the 8 lbs weights and front side lifts and finished up with pushups. Abs I did 200 crunches and planks on all three sides, 45 seconds each and lastly twists with allison with the medicine ball. Last thing I did before stretching in the other room was calve raises on the stairs.

Hola from San Jose del Cabo Mexico! Our rooms here at the Ujena Jam are about as far away from the official Jam office in the resort as possible. So I'm logging in that I'm walking at least a mile a day going to and from my room to the main resort area.
It's beautiful here and the walk is just a bonus!

First time I've run in well over a week. I did 4 miles in 32 minutes and sure to be really sore for the next day or so. Back on the bike tomorrow!

This morning I went for my five mile loop. It felt okay... The best part of the run was catching a "wave" from a fellow runner across the street. I LOVE that runners are so friendly...it's like "the nod" you give a driver of your same car. It's just a simple gesture to say... "Morning..I'm with YOU!" Well, that's my two-cents for the day. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. We're off to a Wedding in Southern California...can't wait!

The days of jog/walk are over. My ribs are well enough to run. Not too hard but it is still a run. 3 miles worth this morning.

Was able to squeeze in a quick 20 minute run and some squats prior to my family arriving this morning. This evening I got my crunches in. It has been very hectic at my house today and will be again tomorrow, but will be squeezing another short run in tomorrow morning as well before we start planning things again to get something in.

Last night after our jam orientation, Martha and I decided to walk to the nightclub we were having our party at rather than take the bus with everyone else. It was about 10pm and it only took us about 20 minutes. We were speed walking in the Cabo heat with heels and a dress on too! I think we are the first ever jam models to be able to log in miles at the jam between dinner and a party. We even beat one of the buses! Yay!

Last night I was ready to leave work and just head home and settle in for the night with a good book, BUT I made sure I changed into my work out clothes before I left work and I went to the gym. I had a great work out in Pilates. I haven't gone in a week or so (Yoga on Monday didn't feel the same as the Pilates), and the instructor worked our abs hard. I felt stronger, and my muscles had the memory and my body felt limber afterwards.
The only thing is when to eat dinner. I work to 7, and the class is 8-9, so I tend to eat after the work out but then it bumps back going to bed, etc. Trying to find the best time to eat, and the best food to eat before and after.
One other thing I've noticed with my Pilates class is that I enjoy working out in the evening so much more than a morning work out. My body also "performs" better in the evening classes than the morning ones.

Ran stairs this morning two sets, I think I'm about ready to run three sets, will try this tomorrow and see how it goes. Was still just a bit sore in the legs from the hike, but defn feel like it was a great workout! Finished up with my 200 crunches, sets of 25 as well as 45 second side planks. Lastly, 3 sets of 15 squats holding my 8 lbs dumbbells.

I woke up fairly sore from my hike yesterday, so I took it a little easy this morning with my workout as I don't want to over do it. Started out with a 20 minute jog around the neighborhood, followed my some stretching once I got home. For legs, I did step ups on our brick wall out in from of my house and for abs I did my regular set of 200 crunches as my abs were not sore from the hike, it was more so my legs. Arms I did 3 sets of 12 curls with 8lbs weights each arch and pushups, 2 sets of 15 for arms and ab engagement!

Today my good friend Allison and I went to Marquim Nature park shelter for a hike which ended us up at Council Crest before heading back down. We hiked 3.3 miles and once at the top took some really pretty pictures of the view! This hike was moderately challenging and a perfect way to start our day. It was pretty chilly this morning but so crisp that it was nice. Round trip the hike was approx 5 miles as we took the shorter loop down after we hung out for a bit up top and ate our snacks that we had brought with. I haven't been on a hike in a long time and I loved it, I will be doing more of these!

An unusually long recovery from the SJ Half, a slight ankle sprain and a really busy month have gotten in the way of a consistent running schedule.

Summer is busy season working as a golf professional and taking care of a 1/2 acre yard, so off season is when I work out. Week 1 and 2 workouts are 5-6 minutes on stair climber, 3 sets of seated rows, 3 sets assisted pull ups, 3 sets of back extensions, 3 sets of using a kettle bell to simulate golf swing motions. Then about 15 minutes of stretching. More stretching, lawn mowing, and golf fit into the week also.

I got up early so I could run before work and it's kind of scary in the dark. There are streetlamps part of the way, but needless to say I cut my run down to 2 miles (I've been wimping out on distance too much lately; on the bright side, this might've been the best 2 miles I've run in a while? I couldn't find my timer so I'm not sure exactly). I did bring a flashlight with me, but I should probably acquire a reflective vest or something; my white trainers are not enough to make up for all my dark clothing.

This was going to be 5 miles, but pretty much as soon as I made it up my hill and got smacked in the face, I ended up running my usual 3 miles instead. And the wind was in my face the whole time (what was up with that?). Hopefully the wind will calm down soon or I'll have to run on the trail through the woods--the trees keep most of the wind away, but it's a really flat trail and I'm lazy enough as it is haha.

Hosted an event last night and din't end up making it home until almost 2AM!
So, this morning was a bit of a later workout. Started with jogging around the neighborhood which lasted about 20 min.
Following that, I stretched at home for 20 minutes and did 200 crunches and 2 sets of 20 squats and 25 push-ups.
Today was a fairly light day, back at my heavier workout tomorrow!

On 06/07/08, at 277 pounds, I started training for the 2009 Boston Marathon even though I could only run 10 yards before stopping. On 10/19/08 I ran my first race, the Paddys Pub 5k, finishing in 31.52. I was elated and proud of my accomplishment.
Today I ran 7.5 miles to the same race, ran it and set a PR at 23.54. I was so happy with the PR that I decided to take the "long way" home and ended up running 26.22 miles at 4:05. My intention is not to brag (23.54/4:05 is nothing to brag about!). My intention is to let others know that even though you may be older (I just turned 50), it's never too late to accomplish your dreams and keep getting faster. :)

I finally made it back to the gym this week for another double workout which consists of about 50 minutes of cardio, 30 minutes of ab work, 60 minutes of various machines to isolate areas, and 20 minutes of stretching.

Took it to the Y today with Allison for a mid morning workout. We started on the elliptical and we were originally only planning for 30 minutes but both decided to do 45 minutes while we were at it. After the cardio, we went to the free weights room to stretch.. we ended up stretching and talking for about 20 minutes. Keeping it in the free weights room I did my crunches today on a ball for something a little different. For legs, I did my sets of standard squats as well as calf raises for lower legs.

We found out about this race in Cabo yesterday and we decided to run it. Jodi, Crystal and Martha ran it too. The course was really tough...lots of hills. And it was long by over six minutes for me (11.4k). But they had a good turn out and it was a good event. They also had a 28k race which was the right distance. My time was 52:24...2nd place overall. This makes my 150th straight week of 30 miles plus.

Leaving for the airport in a few minutes for Cabo. Wanted to get in a run before we leave since it would be hard to run later. Got in three miles. Felt so good. Once I get in another two miles for this week ending Sunday, I will have run or walked (if I was injuried) at least 30 miles per week for 150 straight weeks.

It will be hard to get in more than 2 miles tomorrow with all the traveling. Not a lot of time on Sunday but will get in three miles with Jodi early...at least that is the plan. One way or another I will hit 30 miles...150 weeks straight!

I ran my best time today which is 23:28. I know I can run under 23 minutes but that will have to wait until after Cabo. Mileage for the week is at 22. Need to get in six miles tomorrow.

I had a really intense workout yesterday, so today was a lighter day. I started out with a jog around the neighborhood for 30 minutes. Following that I came back home and did my 200 crunches and squats that I do daily. Lastly I did my planks, each side for 45 seconds. I like to stretch extra on light days too so I ended my workout with 30 minutes of stretching in my living room.

I started my day with a nice long workout since my first go-see wasn't until noon! As usual, I jogged to my workout location, this time it was the YMCA to meet my best friend Allison for our workout, she got a membership and has asked me to help her workout, I was flattered and we had a blast! We started out next to each other, her on the end elliptical and myself on the end stair stepper next to each other. We did cardio for an hour while watching The Talk, I think it was called the talk... kinda like the View, only different people on it.... haha :) Then we went over to the ab cruncher and we discovered that this particular machine doesn't adjust and we were both too short to do it with the right technique, so we too it to the free weights room. Abs: I did 200 crunches and she did 150. We both did left, right and middle planks, myself for 45 seconds and Allison for 30 each side. Legs: Plie's - 2 sets of 20, I held the 35 pound bar and she held the 25, and the same for our 3 sets of 15 standard squats. Lastly, we did one lap of front lunges around the indoor track. We finished up in the pool, both swimming a few laps and then about 5 minutes in the steam room before we both were so hot from our workout and the steam that we had to leave. I was so motivated after this workout and I'm am so proud of Allison for wanting to get fit as well, she motivates me even though she thinks I motivate her. <3

Ran my Hilltop three course today. About one third of this course are hills. I pushed it and still did not get under 8:30 per mile. I did about 8:35 but it is a tough course. This is my best time and I know I can get under 8. For sure these hills are going to help in the long run.

I love running barefoot so hiked into my favorite little beach. Did a 30 minute run and the hike back out. Got home and did 5x30 pushups and 100 crunches. Kind of disappointed at the morning weigh in. Only lost 1 lb this week. Some progress is better than none though so I'll take it.

Since the half marathon over a week ago, my running has been fair...at best! I had a lot of reasons why I couldn't get out the door, tired, busy at work... etc! The Fit Club email couldn't have arrived at a better time this week...it gave me the motivation to get out. I did a 5 mile run this morning and while I felt a little tired, I am SO GLAD I did it! Thanks again, FIT CLUB!
This is a pic of me and my friend Trish goofing off at work... I like this image and thought I'd post it...even though it has nothing to do with my 5-miler this morning!

I have been keeping my 5K consistantly under 23 minutes (22:58) this morning! A few months ago I never would have thought I could get it under 26 minutes! Going to keep trying to get the time down :)
It really makes a difference as some days I just don't feel like geeting out and doing anything or I am running late, but then I think who doesn't have 20 minutes?

Had a light day today before my casting call at 8:45 Got up at 7 and took a jog to the high school. Once I got there I stretching on the bleachers for about 10 minutes instead of the field because at this time, the sky began to fall in the form of liquid ;) Following stretching, I did my stairs - Deep sets and quick shallow steps working different muscles of the leg and butt. After this I headed home with a job as it was still raining. Once I got home I did 200 crunches and 2 sets of 20 plie's and 3 sets of 15 standard squats. Will be doin a bit more toning today though, because I ran out of time before I had to get ready for my casting - Luckily, I don't wear makeup to these so I could get ready quick!

... Your dumbbells have a distinct layer of dust and/or cat hair over them.
First though, thanks for the suggestions regarding my tiredness; I've been sleeping more than I used to (verging on too much lately), which is probably also not helping, and while I drink plenty of water during the week, I get lazy on the weekends and on days I work from home. I'm currently not taking any vitamins even though I probably should (there are way too many options, it's so confusing), but various family members may have useful input (that SUPERFOOD thing did sound interesting, so that's one thing to look into).
I would have replied more promptly, but work and the general change of seasons has been getting me down lately. However, now that I'm aware of it, things are looking up (and the comments were great last week too--thanks again).
I've never been particularly strong before (unless you count being able to do the most push-ups in my fifth grade gym class), but today's efforts were just sad. I now plan to actually make use of my dumbbells three times a week, which will hopefully transform my arm muscles (and the rest of my muscles too probably) from limp noodles into actual muscles. This will probably mean a little less running for a while, but I think I need new shoes soon so that's okay.

Went to San Francisco this mornng with Catherine and Mike. Ran the 10k. Finished 5th overall running 43:02. I think the course might be a little long...but mostly I just felt sluggish and a little heavy. But it was a fun morning. Catherine took a lot of good images. Check out the UjENA FIT Club gallery. This gives me 32 miles for the week and my 149th straight week of 30 or more miles per week.

We pushed about a mile of it and in fact ran the last quarter under 5:30/mile. Mileage for the day is at five. Decided today to run a 10k race in Golden Gate Park in the morning. This will be my last race before going to the Ujena Jam where I am running the Bob Anderson 15k Challenge Oct 22 (that's 10k at 7:30am and 5k at 9:00am - times are added together for scoring).

I had a great workout with Jenna, we went to 24Hour and used her membership there, rather than the Y where mine is, because 24 has a bigger facility with more variety. We started out with stretching and elliptical for 45 minutes After elliptical we went to the courts and played tennis for about n hour - that was fun and a definite change from my routine. After the game we played, Jenna spotted me and I spotted her on an array of machines and we ended off with some pool time, rather than stretching again. I had a great workout with Jenna - She is probably one of the most fit people I know so it was a privilege to work out with her - plus we had some good girl chats about her newlywed life while working out!!

So, hooked up the bike to the indoor stationary trainer, Boston's Greatest Hits on the iPod a tall cold bottle of cytomax and my handy cellphone to text with Coach Cat about my progress. 19.2 miles in 60 minutes which includes warmup and cool down. Hey, and no stop lights or irate drivers to practice my sign language with. Now just need to do crunches until dinner comes up. lol

Ran my Michael 10k course a couple of hours ago. It was cloudy at the start with rain drops, then it starting pouring for a mile, then the sun came out for the finish. I felt sluggish the first two, then I felt great and I pushed it, and then the last mile I was feeling sluggish again. BUT all in all it was a good fun run.

I got to get some time on the court after a busy day. We met up and played and hour and a half. Both my partner and I had to be somewhere at 9, so we cut it a little short. We mainly drilled and did some long rally practice, which really keeps you in shape and makes you concentrate. We will play again Thursday afternoon...;-)

After running the SJ Half Marathon in 1:29:31 which was much slower than I had hoped for, I'm reconsidering how I typically race. Maybe a better way to put it is, I want to try and run my next race differently and see which way works better for me. In SundaysHalf Marathon I went out in 6:16 (19:40 5K) which felt easy, but then slowed down almost every mile thereafter. My worst mile was 7:15. This seems to happen every race I run, regardless of the distance. In a typical 5K race, a 5:35 first mile is common, but then I really struggle to stay under a 6:00/mile pace.
What are your thoughts on starting fast and "hanging on" vs. running negative splits. Based on this last race, it seemed like I was getting past the entire race which means all those people started slower than I did, but then finished stronger. I also feel like I'm miserable the entire race when I'm slowing down mile after mile and trying to hange on. HELP!!!!

What are your thoughts on starting fast and "hanging on" vs. running negative splits. Based on this last race, it seemed like I was getting past the entire race which means all those people started slower than I did, but then finished stronger. I also feel like I'm miserable the entire race when I'm slowing down mile after mile and trying to hange on. HELP!!!!

Some people go out fast and hang on and others run a more even pace. This is the hardest thing to figure out. I still like banking miles because the day will come when you don't slow down. One thing is that you do need to increase your mileage to 40-45 per week for several weeks.

Good advice on the mileage. That's probably the biggest factor.

Another fun night of conditioning class. I am really ready to compete. 16 days until it all takes place. I have my suit, my jewelry, spray tan scheduled, nails scheduled, facials and waxing scheduled, posing commencing the next 2 weekends, and trial run of hair and makeup to happen in this weekend. Now just got to maintain and stay motivated! :)

Got in a nice 5 miles this morning at 7:52 pace. The legs (mainly quads) are still very sory from the Half Marathon sunday. I must of really thrashed myself? It felt good to run after a couple really of slow,painful, low mileage days. Definitely recovering, but it'll be another few days before I'm 100% back. Enjoy the day everyone!

I have done 2 workouts today to fight boredom and dissapointment. Neuro Surgeon appt in 45 days. Did Yoga and stretching for an hour this morning with Big Tony Horton . Then I just finished a whole set of Total Body Solutions - 90 minutes. I had use 3 towels to keep me dry. Lots of cardio for me. Hot shower relaxed me. Maybe another workout before going to the party tonight and dancing.

I started out today with a jog to the high school, about half a mile. As soon as I got there I stretched for about 20 minutes.. my arms, specifically my triceps are very sore today from using my dumbbells last night for tricep lifts! After stretching, I ran the stairs for two sets, alternating between deep steps for upper legs and quick steps for calves. For abs today I did 200 crunches on the field and 50 each side bends for obliques. Finished up abs with a 60 seconds plank. Instead of squats, I did front and side lunges for legs to work a different part of my muscles and allow my glutes to build up.

Looks like many of us did an easy one today...me included. I walked and ran (mostly walked) 3.2 miles today. Actually my legs were more trashed today than yesterday. It is important to listen to your body. I have not in the past and it has cost me some injuries. Mileage so far this week is at 8.2 miles.

Started my workout this morning with a jog around my neighborhood. Then took it home for some at home workouts on my "light day" Abs: Front and both side planks at 60 seconds for front and 40 for both sides. Followed my planks with 100 standard crunches slow paced and 100 quick crunches to target my obliques. I do my crunches typically in sets of 25 with 5-10 second idle in between sets. Legs/Butt: Since it's my "light day" and I was a bit sore from my heavy stairs I did yesterday, lowered my squat sets a but. Standard squats 2 sets of 15 and plie's 2 sets of 15. Also did 2 sets of 25 calf raises on the stairs outside my house. Finished up with one lap around my house and 20 minutes of stretching. :)

I just do not need the distractions of gossip, ill will, jealousy, etc. Today, I will be doing legs hard. Leg extensions & curls, weighted lunge with a lift and plie squats. Flutter kicks. Weighted leg lifts, hack squat 3 positions. side lunges. 30 mins on high incline treadmill.

I had a GREAT workout this morning - But it sure kicked my booty!! Started out with a mile on the elliptical... I'm not a HUGE fan of just straight running, so I try to do comparable alternatives. After that, I went in the free weights room and stretched for about 10-15 minutes followed by bicep curls with 8lbs weights, and calve raises on this little step thing they have there. Last thing I did in the free weights room was my plie's and squats. Plies I did 2 sets of 20 and squats I did 2 sets of 15 with a 10lbs weight in the middle of the squat. Finally, I went out on the floor and finished up with dead lifts at the weight machine and had this guy spot me in bench pressing... I'm not very good at bench pressing I realized today, so I'm going to try and work on my chest muscles for that! I realize I didn't get any crunches in at the gym, and I make a point to do AT LEAST 200 crunches EVERY DAY at some point - So those will be done this evening after my errands, likely while watching TV - Good time to get things like that in :)

Had a another GREAT workout today! I was hoping to get up and get it done before my 49'ers played, but with getting everything set up for company, was unable to get it in this morning soooo I did the workout this evening. Started with stairs at the stadium, two sets, meaning up and down the whole side twice... was tired at this point! But took it down to the field for 15 minutes of stretching. After the stretching, started off with abs, followed by arms, then finally, legs and booty. Abs: Standard crunches straight for 60 seconds; left side crunches straight for 45 seconds, then the other side; bicycle crunch for 45 seconds and finally plank for 45 seconds. Arms: Bicep curls for 45 seconds straight with 8 lbs weights; tricep extensions for 90 seconds, switching dominant arm at 45 seconds to work both equally; front extensions rotating arms for 45 seconds; reverse bridge push-ups for 45 seconds; and lastly side planks for 30 seconds each Legs and Butt: Standard squat with 8 lbs weights for 45 seconds; dead lifts with weights for 60 seconds, hip extensions for 45 seconds; plie's with weights for 45 seconds; and finally calf raised back up on the stairs with weights for 45 seconds.... Needless to say - I am determined :)

This morning, I took it to the high school to workout at the stadium. Started out with running the stairs two times through. The stairs there are nice because they have some that are spread out and shorter for quick steps and the ones in the middle are deeper for longer steps so I can work my thighs/booty on the deeper ones and calves on the quick step ones. Arms: I used the benches that the team sits on for arm dips. I did 3 sets of 15 arms dips. Abs: Started with a plank for 45 seconds, I think I am going to try doing 60 seconds tomorrow, 45 is becoming easier and easier. After the front plank I did both sides for 30 seconds each.... these really work your core! Legs: Since I was at the football field today, I decided to run lines. In high school I did track, believe it or not, but I ran the short distance sprints. So I started today with doing lines to the 50 yard line, next time I and going to try and do the full field. After running lines I was a bit tired, so I took this opportunity to stretch out. After stretching I finish my workout up with 2 sets of 20 plie's and 3 sets of 15 standard squats. Will be doing my crunches this evening during commercials as always - It is a GREAT time to get little bit of workouts in and it makes such a difference!

Yesterday I ran my third 1/2 marathon. I didn't have as much time to train as I had hoped. My longest training run leading up to it was an 8 miler. Sooooo, needless to say, I was a LITTLE nervous at the starting line. But, as all of us runners know, some days it just all clicks. Yesterday was one of those days for me... I felt pretty good the whole race (last two miles were a little tough) and I just kept clicking away the miles one by one. When you run well, it's great motivation to get out there and train more. I averaged in the lower 8's for most of my miles. This is a great foundation for me to build on for my next 1/2.

Bob,
I missed entering my runs for Thursday and Friday as I was preparing for an Ultra (45 miler) I ran on Saturday and was totally off line. Can I go back and add them (3 miler on Thursday and 5 miler on Friday) or am I out of luck?

It is easy to miss posting and I think we are going to change this. We will make it so you can go back five days to post workouts. However, on Monday if we have 10 who did a workout all seven days, only those at noon who posted will be part of the drawing. How did you do in the 45 miler? I will check the race results.

THe 45 miler was great, I did it with a friend for his 45th birthday and our wives made shirts for us and our kids and they were our support crew. We ran the Root River Trail in Southeastern Minnesota, beautiful weekend. It makes the marathon coming up in a couple of weeks seem a little easier.

Ran what I thought was the BAA Boston Half marathon course today in anticipation of next weekends race. Came back to the car and realized I had run 14.21 miles which for some reason seemed to be a vaguely familiar distance and then realized I ran almost the same distance yesterday (14.25). Not sure why but I ran faster today and felt better after. :)

I ran a half marathon this morning. I didn't beat my time from last year but knew I probably wouldn't. I needed to log more miles but I plan on a better time next year. My legs started to cramp up around mile 9. Thanks to my Ujena Fit Club family for their support before and after the race. Bob, Justin and Lisa all ran amazing times. They deserved it because they worked hard for it.

Well since we hit for an hour and a half on Thursday, we decided to hit Friday. We got to get a full work out and I must say I was more tired after playing. My partner started slow, but then he had me all over the court. I got a good workout but got spanked. It happens, we have been playing against each other for 8 years now. You win some an you get spanked from time to time...love tennis though. Hard to give up when I've been playing since 11 years old. ;-)

I LOVE weekends because I LOVE my long runs. Many of you may think it is crazy to get up on Saturday morning at 5:30, go out on a dark and rainy street and run long distances for 2-4 hours but for some reason I enjoy it. 3 years ago I would have NEVER thought I would be typing these words, but I am typing this in hopes of inspiring others that some day they CAN experience the same pleasure that I and others like me experience. Granted today I only ran 14.25 miles (only planned on 12) but I will be running another 13.1 tomorrow in anticipation of a half marathon next weekend and the New York City Marathon on Nov 6th.

Last Sunday I ran a Susan G. Komen 5K for the Cure race in Orange County. What was really great about this race was I got friends to join me (who had never run before), but they did it because it was for charity! They trained with me for a month so they could run, and all of them finished better then expected. Not only did we raise money for a great cause, but people lost weight in the process (as much as 11 lbs), and everyone got faster and healthier!
Isn't it amazing that while making a difference in other's lives you can make such a big difference in your own?!
If raising money for a favorite charity will help motivate you to get up and out, I say DO IT!!

So, I got up at the crack of dawn this morning for the first Yoga class of the day at the gym, because they are running a special and offereing "Fitness Yoga" classes for FREE right now!! It was a lot of fun and remind me of the class I took as an elective in college - I like yoga! But the reason I was up so early was because I wanted to run a few laps before the class got started, and I wanted to get a good spot in the room for the class LOL! Finished up the workout after the class with two sets of plie's and two sets of standard squats. Didn't do crunches at the gym, but got 100 in at home and will be doing another 100-200 this evening. It's so easy to get things like squats and crunches in while doing things like watching TV, or brushing your teeth even!

I ran and walked this morning 2.2 miles. Push a half mile. Then I ran three miles with Mike after work. We walked the hills and ran about two miles of it. Legs are feeling ready to go. I am thinking that 1:30:59 is possible for Sunday but I will be satisfied with anything under 1:32. So much can happen over 13 miles.

Another 4 mile run in under 32 minutes (31:06), looks like I am starting to average a 7:45 minute mile :) Finished my workout for the day with total body workout. In other good news, I got on the scale today, and I have lost some weight too! :)

Today I wasn't able to get my workout in this morning, so I went to the gym in he middle of the day for my workout. Started out with two laps around the track, followed by 10 minutes of stretching for warm up. Then got on the stair stepper for 20 minutes. After the stepper I did 200 crunches and 2 sets of 20 plie's and 3 sets of 15 standard squats while holding an 8lbs dumbbell in the middle of the squat. Ended my workout with 10 minutes of stretching and a couple yoga positions. My calves were pretty sore from yesterday's calve raises, so I did not do calves today.

I've decided that instead of taking "days off" I am going to replace "off" with "light" Today was my "light" day. On these days, I still head over to the track and run two laps for warm up followed by 20 minutes of stretching. I do more stretching on these days to elongate my muscles. Also, finished off with 200 crunches, 45 second plank and kick backs on all fours. :) I posted a photo that I just took this morning of myself just before going to workout. I had just gotten out of the shower, so please excuse the towel on my head ;) I will post the image on my profile as well, as posting it to the log crops it QUITE a bit :)

I did run at lunch again instead of first thing in the morning. That is part of it. Catherine has a sore throat and I hope... It is going to be okay.

I decided to run in the back pasture this morning to reduce joint impact. I ran into a horse. He is deaf and blind....I guess I might be too! LOL

I skipped lunch today for a workout with my ex-tennis college player. Like always with him, the ball comes back every time. We did some concentrated conditioning drills for and 1 hr 45 minuntes. Then we played a set for the next thirty minutes, a controlled set which makes the points longer, but you get to work on cardio and conditioning. Hot and well worth the lunch break...;)

Took my workout to the gym today because I woke up a little late and the high schoolers had already started coming out for P.E. class on the field. Sooo, Started out with 20 minutes at the highest incline, speed walking on the treadmill. Followed by 15 minutes of stair stepper. For toning, went to the dance room and did 3 sets of 20 pliés and 3 sets of 15 standard squats. Finish up toning with 200 standard crunches and 45 second plank. Lastly, 10 minutes of stretching. Never forget to stretch! :)

I took my usual Sunday morning cycling class for an hour and a half today. I went in on my own and warmed up on the bike before class even started but a lot of people do that. That class is always very hard but I felt good after. Been really enjoying my time in the gym

Ran my Michael 10k course this morning easy...first two miles was very easy and then I picked it up a bit the last four. I actually feel pretty good after racing yesterday. Going to run at least three miles with Mike after work. We might do 3.8 to make 10 for the day however. Did not do a second run since Mike got tied up. Actually the way my legs feel...it is a good thing.

Was up and at 'em at 7:30 this morning for my workout so I could be back in time for my 49'ers game! Started out with 10 minutes of stretching on the field, following by one warm up lap on the track. Ran the stadium stairs - Half quick and fast for calves and the other skipping a step for deeper step for my thighs and booty. Finished up with 100 crunches and 45 second plank. Stretched for 10 minutes. Finally, this evening I did 3 sets of 15 standard squats and 2 sets of 20 ballet squats for inner thigh toning. Love being back to working out!! <3

The Trailblazer race in Moutain View, California is always a fun event. I went out pretty strong and tired to stay close to the first female in the 10k but she did pull away from me after two miles. Hit four miles in 26:39 but did not have a lot left in the tank. Finished in 42:28 which is my best 10k of the year. Photo of Mike and I at the awards.

Finally, had a good run this morning. Maybe it helped that it was only 63 degrees and I ran before work. In any case I ran my Michael 10k course and finished in 47:52 and that's after losing at least 30 seconds on the first mile being delayed in crossing a street. The leg held up good. I felt it a little but it did NOT effect this run at all. I am going to need to get in at least a 11 miler before the half a week from Sunday. thumbs up!!! Planning on a second run with Mike after work. We will run at least four miles maybe more...I have marked 6.2 for now but hope to change it to 10 before the end of the day.

I am think the weights are really helping my legs get stronger so that I can run faster, and have a quicker recovery time. Don't know if that is actually true, but it seems to be working ;)

It is very hot out and although we are inside, it seems to be pretty warm in there too but I guess that is good for practicing Yoga because it helps your muscles stretch out even more. I feel really good after last nights session so I am super excited for tonight. I hope everyone has a great evening!!

I have had a few days off of my Yoga but I am ready to get back into tonight. I am so excited to go relax and get deep into my yoga practice. I had done some mile walks over this past weekend which was a nice change to be out in the open and take in the great weather, but tonight it is back in the gym for a great workout!

I wanted to run first thing but it did not happen. Finally got out about 1pm and it was already hot. Not as hot as yesterday but it was still 86 degrees. Ran my Michael 10k course in just under 9 min/mile. It seemed a lot harder than the time would suggest. It is amazing how fast you can loose conditioning but it also bounces back fast too.

I LOVE my five mile loop. It's beautiful. It's an incredible way to start off my day...the rolling hills are gorgeous! The goats, turkeys and horses I see along the way offer up a friendly reminder of how blessed we are all. The smell of eucalyptis trees, the thin path full of berry bushes and the friendly faces of my other morning walkers/runners makes my 5-mile loop a keeper. Running can offer so much more than fitness...it's spiritual, it's community and it adds a sense of balance to our otherwise busy lives! Super grateful to have the opportunity to run today!!!!

This morning I did my 5-mile loop. Love the course, it's gorgeous! Im am a little discouraged though because it's taking me longer than I thought to turn the corner in my runs. I keep thinking this 5 mile course will get easier...but, it's not. Maybe it's my age, busy life or something else. This week I'm going to add SuperFood to my morning routine. It's a vitamin and mineral suppliment.... HOPEFULLY, that will get me feeling a little more energized :0).

Picked up the book "Running on Empty" yesterday at Zombie Running in Palo Alto, CA. Can't wait to read it. Marshall Ulrich seems like an amazing person and athlete.

Read the first couple pages and it's insane and very inspiring. I'm hoping to channel some of his endurance into my body for my race Sunday.

Put on the new shoes this morning (NB 1400) and went for 5 miles. they felt great. Very light and responsive when I picked up the pace. We'll put them to test on sunday in a 5k race.

I am continuing to run faster!! I think the resistance training is helping as well :) I have been able to keep my 5K under23 minutes again.

Shawn did a total review with me regarding my last three weeks of training and she is on top of all me issues and goals! It is great to have someone like this to support me, I need it! After 20 minutes of cardio and the one hour strength workout with the trainer including the TRX and some Yoga moves along with resistance moves I treated myself to an afternoon sport massage! It is all good for me and I am feeling great!

I keep thinking I will be running but I am still walking. Today I walked 4.1 miles bringing my mileage for the week to 15.5. This is how these things work...they always seem to improve, then get worse and then it is gone. This has happened a lot like this. But I still break a sweat walking...but I am not getting my heart rate up however.

So I messed up my fitlog, my work out was actually yesterday not today. BUT I did finally make it back to Pilates, and it felt good. I have to say reading Lisa and Trish's posts serve as inspiration, and receiving emails from the Fitclub actually remind me and prick at me to get out there and get moving. I've officially joined the Y and I am looking forward to taking advantage of more of their classes.

I am learning a lot about strengthening and keeping the pressure off my problem areas (feet and knee).

My goal is to get faster! I would like to be able to do the Bob Anderson 15K challange Cabo at a 7:30 mile pace or better. This would take more then 13 minutes off my time in Puerto Vallarta (is that possible? We'll see). This week I started upping the speed again. I did my fastest 5K yet this am 23:08. Tomorrow I will do another 5K at this pace or faster, and then Thursday I will up my distance to 4 miles. By the end of the week I am hoping to get a 5 mile run done in 38:00 or less.
Every run I also work on my kick at the end. I always sprit the last .2 miles. I think a strong finish is important for racing! It is amazing how many people you can pass when you have the kick! I have found when running long distance most people train to finish, but often neglect training for the strong finish.
I also did more weights this morning, as I believe building strength is also important to getting faster..

Way to go...you are going to get under 23 here soon. One thing I would suggest is to go for it. 23:00 flat is 7:25 per mile. Next time go out at 7:10 and then hang on. If you fall apart, you fall apart and then go for it next time. I call it banking miles. I even run my half marathons like this and it works.

Hahah, I have no coordination for dancing either! Its a fun class to take with my girlfiends though because we just laugh at each other during it. You should try it!

I got in a 3 mile run this morning while it was still cool out. Followed that up with half an hour of swimming. The water was COLD!

Great going on the 3 mile. Get in as much running as you can before Cabo. At least you will be able to handle the heat in Cabo...unlike the rest of us.

Wasn't feeling well this morning (stuffed up), and didn't feel like doing anything today. So I decided I would try to get it all over with. Ended up having my fastes time for my 5K (23:25) and then I did an upper body workout, and about 30 minutes of yoga (just to stretch). It is amazing how much better I feel. However, my question is this... When should you take a break? I've heard the phrase "if it's in the head go ahead, if it's in the chest take a rest" Is there another answer?

Goes to show what the body can do. Congrats on your fastest 5k. That's a good time. You are going to be so ready for the 15k at the Cabo Jam. My advice, if you have a fever do not run but only walk. If you have pain for more than five minutes or it gets worse walk. Wished I would have followed this advice yesterday...I kept going but how can you stop at the end of a 10 miler?

Was supposed to be a 10 miler, but I had to cut it short (got a total of 8 or so miles, I think); guess my new shoes/inserts aren't broken in quite enough for that much distance just yet!

My oldest brother has been dieting for awhile. He has lost around 60 lbs. I started out the door for a run this morning when he said, "how about I join you for a walk instead?" So we walked and talked for about 8 miles. I thought this would be good for him. Turned out good for both of us.

Justin and I ran the trails over by his house. Hit the three mile at 20:20 (6:47 pace) and felt strong. Hit six miles in 41:42 (6:57 pace) but stii felt good. My stomach was a really weird but not terrible. Continued on and hitting eight miles at 55:41. I had wrapped my lower calf and it was feeling a little odd. Then within a half mile I was hurting. Limped in finishing with 70:51. This is my best time for this course and a 7:05/avg. But I lost over a minute the last 1.5 miles. It is the same thing as before...I will solve it!

Had my coffee and paper this morning. We had a guest stay with us (roommate and I) this weekend, they had a tennis tournament. I did not enter, my roommate and guest did. When they got up we decided to go play tennis. It was about 95 degrees, but we got in a good hour and 45 minutes of hitting. They are much younger than me so they had me on the ropes most of the time, but I hung in there and got soaked and got some serious hitting in....fun, fun....;-)

OK cleaned the whole house and gym... that has to count for something. Then mowed the lawn by hand. No, not with scissors... Figured that was give or take 2 miles. Catered a party from 3 till 11:30pm... back and forth on the awesome property... The lawn was so nice, it felt like carpet. That had to have been a good 5 km. hockey in the morning, then 99mins on the treadmill.

Went to the gym after work and did the stationary bikes there for 35 minutes on the medium level. Did 10.5 miles, which was a new record for me! Last time I went on, I only got to about 6 or 7 miles before being worn out. After that, I did lunges while holding hand-weights, and the nswitched to lifting weights both by standing up and squatting, and then laying down and pushing the bar up. Lastly, I did ab work by doing crunches and this one machine where you lift your knees to your chest and then back down.

Had a great 10.6 mile run this morning. Felt good to get out and run through the hills of San Jose. One of the things I like best about long, tough, hilly runs, is the more you fatigue, the more you get in that runners zone. You know your body is tired and in pain, but you just keep going, one step at a time.
Get out and run. Besides golf (in my opinion), it's the best kind of therapy there is. The pic is of me and my friend at Bandon Dunes Golf Club, Oregon. God's Country for sure. Have a great day everyone!

One of the things I like best about long, tough, hilly runs, is the more you fatigue, the more you get in that runners zone. You know your body is tired and in pain, but you just keep going, one step at a time.

Got up this morning, and was feeling really sore from all the hills in Catalina (the last 400 ft of my run was straight up :/ ), but I still got out to do a 5K! Managed a respectable 24:31 time. Just now I finished over an hour with Chris (my trainer) who has been helping me get stronger and faster! I think it is working!!

Ran twice today. Did 3.2 miles this morning and then ran 2.1 miles with Mike this evening. This gives me 5.3 miles for the day and 9.4 miles for the week.

I went to the gym today for 2 hours this afternoon. I started with the weight training, sit-ups, and machines. I did legs and arms today. I went on the treadmill for 1.6 miles (30 minutes) and I walked 1 mile after that when I got home. That was my exercise program for the day.

So, I have one of my big nights of working out tonight! First I start off with my Yoga and then I move into a fun dance class that is so awesome and is usually very crowded because our teacher is well liked. He is a male dancer with a lot of energy and gets everyone really involved. I am so happy I can write about my workouts because it is fun to look back on them. I need to do it more often! I feel much better having physical exercise in my life and I think the Fit Club pushes people to stay healthy in a very positive way! I really enjoy reading what other people are doing each day and I think it gives everybody motivation!

My Achilles Tendon is holding up pretty good after the half marathon yesterday. However, I did take an easy day. 4.2 miles in total and about half of it was walking. I do think it is important to take an easy day after a hard race...

After not feeling very good for a few days and taking 5 days off from running... I finally hit the road this morning. I went for a 5 mile run/walk. I'm a little discouraged as the SJ 1/2 Marathon is coming up in a month and for some reason my energy level and running motivation has been a little low. Good news is, I made it out there today... crossing my fingers that tomorrow I will feel up to getting a good 5 mile RUN in. Enjoy your day EVERYbody :0)

On Wednesday, August 31 while at work I twisted /sprained my ankle and bruised my right kneecap. I have been unable to do any running or yoga. Walking at work all day for 9 hours was a workout! Especially with a sprained ankle and swollen knee. It is healing slowly but hoping that by the end of this next week I'll be able to get out and do some running (slowly). I miss not being able to do yoga or go running.

Not sure where to start, but you need to check out ALongRun.com. Don Lennox started his journey across the USA as he attempts to set a new world record for crossing in 45 days. I was fortunate enough to start with Don, my sister Kelly and Caroline, an accomplished ultra marathon runner herself. Although I cannot begin to comprehend running across the United States in 45 days (68 miles/day), my sister and I ran the first 30 miles with Don and it was a great experience. I figured if he is going to run 3,063, I can at least go 30 with him. Very inspirational. We also met a cyclist just past the Golden Gate Bridge whose goal is to ride through all 50 states. He's been riding for nearly a year straight some 17,000 miles total and after California, he only has Hawaii left. What a day! Get out and run.

It was another nice and very warm day (hot), but we still got to the tennis courts at 545 pm. After a nice warm up we played two set. Had some very nice points and some nice long rallies. It was my day today, so I was hitting very well and won the two sets. My playing partner helped a little by not making some of his shots. But we were still drenched and played for about two hours and twenty minutes. Now to soak in ice, eat healthy and take a hot shower. ;-)

Hey there Fit Club Friends! The beginning of the week was great for me and my running. I had two five mile days in a row which I was pretty stoked about.... B U T, woke up on Wednesday with a headache and upset stomach and I haven't been feeling high energy since. Maybe it's not a bad thing to take a few days off until I'm feeling back to my old self...but, gotta admit, not running has put me in a little bit of a funk. Tomorrow morning we are heading to San Francisco for the start of Don Lennox's running journey and hopefully, for ME, that will be the start of a new day of running too. Cheers to all and GREAT job to everyone and their workouts!!!

After working 18 days straight 12 hour nightshifts and working out and taking care of the kids - tonight I hit the wall. Mentally and physically my body just said "no more". Unfortunately I have a 14 hour work day doing concert security all this week. Reba Macyntire was today. Tomorrow Dierks Bentley and the next day George Canyon. I will barely make it to Monday - my first day off in about 23 days by then.

so im not really a big fan of running hardcore, so i usually jog and power walk for most of my cardio workouts. It felt great getting back into the groove of working out, traveling for the past month I haven't really been in a steady pattern, I hope to keep jogging/power walking 3x a week, and maybe take up kick boxing!

Had dinner with Don Lennox last night. Don is attempting to break the world record for the crossing the USA on foot in 45 days, (68 miles/day). Don is such a humble, inspirational guy. Running today felt amazing after spending time with Don and imagining what he will be embarking on. Don can inspire all of us to get up and get fit. You only live once. Good luck Don, be strong and we'll be cheering for you.

Ran and easy 3.2 miles and then walked 1.8. My calf is feeling okay but the problem is my Achilles tendon. Does not seem like running less mileage is helping. The half marathon is coming up fast but I do still think I will be okay. However, I need to change my goal I had. Just not going to be ready for that. I will have to leave this wide open.

Again a very hot day in San Antonio. So I head to the apartment complex gym and got on the elliptical for 45 minutes. I set the machine on cardio and did 25 minutes at level seven, then 20 minutes set on crunches, which make's it more like a climb and finally a 5 minute cool down stride. I felt really good. The window of the workout room faces the East, so the sun hits that window, so the elliptical is right there, it gets hot and I got some deep workout in my tissue. Also did 40 reps of butterflies, this helps out my serve and strokes in tennis. All in all an hour and 10 minutes straight workout with no breaks. I really feel Awesome! ;-) - 08/29/2011 from Robby Rodrick

Since it was 106 degrees today, and could not get anyone to play tennis (I don't blame them) I went to the exercise room (85 degrees) and got on the elliptical. Set it to Cardio and did 30 minutes at level 7. Which is good enough for me and I was really soaked. Cooled down for 3 minutes and set the elliptical to clime. Love the fact that the arms are very important to finish a good workout. Felt it all over my body and even did about 6 minutes backwards. Anyway, will be back at it at 500 am for 20 minutes before showering and going to work. ;-) - 08/28/2011 from Robby Rodrick

I ran the Tamalpa Headlands 50k on Saturday. Challenging but beautiful course although part of the beauty was hidden by our typical early morning summer fog. This well-organized race is back to its old glory under co-RD Tim and Diana Fitzpatrick.
My enjoyment was somewhat tempered by the fact that I kissed the ground not just once but three times. Just could not stay on my 2 feet. I was not even overly tired. Just cruising along and before I knew I had caught a rock or a root and found myself flat on my face. Anyone with good advice how to stay on my two feet???

Set out to run 13 miles with the Mrs. She had some knee problems after 8 miles abd we finished walking. It would have been our longest run to date. We will try again soon. Hopefully it will work out better next time. We are pretty new to running and are trying to increase our distance. My wife has had problems with her knees a couple of times when we ran longer distances. If any of you veteran runners have any advice to help prevent the knee pain I would appreciate it. Hope everyone had a good work out today.

Got in 5 today, super easy covering the distance, those one mile clinical runs are not helping much wit the training, gotta step it up to at least 3 miles a day even if I am working 50 plus hour weeks. Did the reets loop and at the 4 mile mark there is a killer hill that climbs for a whole 3/4 mile so that was a challenge. Felt great conquering that hill. I Needed some company out there.

Did my 15 mile coyote creek trail course this morning. Perfect weather again. It was overcast for the first 6 miles which was nice. Only problem with the run was about 5 miles in, the creek was flowing across the path, which meant I had to run through ankle deep water on the way out and then again on the way back. Still trying to figure out why this was happening since it hasn't rained in San Jose for a couple months? Nothing better than running in water logged shoes. Ran an easy 7:56 pace.

Sounds like a good run...but that's weird about the water on the course. Wasn't there when we ran it. Maybe you should get a bonus point or two!

Does anyone have any suggestions for dealing with Plantars Fascitis? I tried taping but that didn't work. I am trying new insoles now as well as a new pair of running shoes. Icing it at night when I get home from work.... does anyone have any other suggestions. I want to run again!

Does anyone have any suggestions for dealing with Plantars Fascitis? I tried taping but that didn't work. I am trying new insoles now as well as a new pair of running shoes. Icing it at night when I get home from work.... does anyone have any other suggestions. I want to run again!

Taking a day off running today. Planning to go between 12-16 miles tomorrow. Played a round of golf this morning (walked). The strange thing is my legs are typically more sore after walking a round of golf, than they are running 10 miles. Any truth to this? Next time I'm bringing my Garmin to see how many miles and calories I burn golfing vs. running.

Today is a travel day but I still got in a 4 mile run and some resistance truing at the hotel. It was ideal, but at least it is there and I got it checked off my list of things to do today :)

Although it isn't running, This workout really focuses on the leg muscles especially the butt and upper back legs. I am at a trade show and I have done 3 small group workouts with beginners. They all talk about how sore they are the next day.
Most people never work their butt muscles. Most sit on their butts more than anything else during the day.
Take a minute and write down how many hours a day you are sitting.
We did and the girls were surprised, now they know why thier butts are so flabby.
GET UP ! Right now and do some squats !

Doing this trade show provided some small group workouts for girls who wanted to try Brazil Butt lift. So we found an empty room and set up the laptop and did a session. Now they are upset (LOL) that their Butts are sore the next day. Of course mine is fine -:)

To be honest, I've always hated the treadmill. Between being overweight and having terrible Asthma it's never been a good relationship between cardio and myself. I'm a lover of the elliptical... I think I would work out on that in my sleep if I could... However, I do own a top of the line treadmill that's been doing a great job of holding up my laundry for the past while...

I stopped off at the gym today, even though I was quite busy with other things. I did the usual weight training, kettle ball core training, and a new item, polar skis for one mile. I like to change things up at the gym, otherwise the boredom tugs at the heart. There was a lot of boxing going on in the area I was doing the kettle ball exercises. Everyone likes to kick butt at the gym!

Sideline tackles,wrap ups, head slides and rolling hips. That lasted 2 hours in the freaking hot Texas sun. Then it was off to the weight room for 40 minutes of agonizing torture in the A/C. Not too sure which was worse.

I didn't get my morning run in...so, PLAN B was to wait until Justin got back from the office to hit the road. He got stuck in bad traffic and the later it got, the more I started talking myself out of the run. He got home at 7:15...and THE ONLY REASON, I laced up my shoes and hit the road, is because I didn't want to miss out on getting my name up there on the Fit Log... THANK YOU Fit LOG!!!!! I got in 3, which wasn't super long but, still something I prettty stoked on!

I have an hour long Yoga class today which I am very excited about. I love going to class and seeing what new poses I am going to be learning. There have been some that are very challenging and I am trying my best to get them down but I think it is going to take some time for some of the really hard poses. Regardless, I love learning and being active. I may do something after Yoga but it all depends on how I am feeling. Hope everyone has a "Fit"abulous day!

After a week of being under the weather, I was feeling much better today and thinking I would be ready for a solid run. Not exactly...I did a six mile course and felt horrible. I don't know what's wrong with me? I ran 31 miles last week even though I didn't feel great so it's not like don't have the mileage? I was actually dizzy on the run. Very strange. Could this have something to do with running for a week at altitude two weeks ago? Whatever it is, it needs to go away.

That's the kicker...it's simple, our journey in being healthy is our own, WE are the ones that need to do it...

I've been feeling sick all week. Not horrible, but that feeling of weak and a bit dizzy. I've missed a couple days of training and the miles I have done haven't been great. So I decided to get in a 10 miler. All I can say is it was rough, felt weak the whole way. Not sure if it was the smartest thing to do, but I finished.

Ran my Michael 10k course today at a little faster pace...did 8:06/mile pace...the first two miles were much slower but I picked it up. It seemed faster for some reason...not sure why. Just one of those days. Mileage for the week is now at 40 with one day to go.

I had vowed to start my days with Yoga and recently vowed to start my days with meditation and yoga. Off to a late start today, by about 4 hours, but I honored the vows I have taken for both of these things are a way of taking care of myself. I am a firm believer that everyday we must take time for us and also take time for the things we love!

Crazy week, I have been working out with several programs to refresh my memory before the Trade Show in Vegas and my speaking gig in Palm Springs. I can honestly say that I am not as sore as I expected. I have done about 3 hrs a day on 10 minute trainer, Brazil Butt Lift, Turbo Jam, and a few others. I am being careful not to strain my neck so I modify a lot of the moves.

For three days in a row I have run my Michael 10k course...it is a nice course through the neighbors of Los Altos near the golf course. There is one hill. This was my best time today. I ran at lunch because I want to get used to running in some heat. It was about 75 degrees. Total mileage for the week is at 24.9 miles. I might run again to get 10 points but maybe not. That sore on the top of my foot is still bothering me...

Tonight is a big night for me. I will first start off by doing a 45 minute kickboxing class which is very high energy and will get my blood pumping for sure. I will then do an hour of Yoga to help me relax and stretch out my muscles. I have been pretty tired the last few days because I have been on a "work-out streak" which I have not done in years but I am keeping at it. I think I will feel great tonight and maybe even have time to catch some tv or a little reading before going to bed. This photo is of me in one of my Yoga poses. Photo by Bob Anderson.

Today was the first day of school for all three of my kids. My youngest, Owen started Kindergarden, my daughter, Carly is in 2nd grade and Jaxson started 4th grade. It feels like just yesterday my oldest was born and now, we have all three in school. After we dropped them off, waved goodbye and wished them a good day, we went home to a very quiet house. I decided that going for a run would be the best way to balance out my emotions...it started pretty rough, choking back a few tears and the lump in my throat made it tough to get my breathing right. But, a few minutes in, I felt better. Anyone that is a parent will tell you..."the days are long but the years are short!" That's the truth! And, while sad to see my youngest out of the house and my other two growing up so fast, my run gave me a sense of peace and balance, and was a reminder to enjoy EVERY moment!

The morning started with a creativity meditation followed by an active 45min yoga session followed by another meditation! :-) (I thought I would spoil myself being midweek) With entire body tingling with awareness and the mind sharp in the closing meditation the Quantum Theory by David Bohm of the folding and unfolding of particles came to mind and I saw that the mornings practice mimicked this theory, passive to active, yin to yang, folding and unfolding, even within the active part of the practice the folding and unfolding is repeated. The end result being closer the reality that all is connected and all are one. "Undivided Wholeness in Flowing Movement." ~ David Bohm

The reality is... I am a morning runner. If I don't get it in early...the chances are slim that I will get it in later...BUT, since I am on a streak, this helped today. I was tired this morning and skipped, planning to run about 3 miles after work. Since tomorrow is my kids first day back to school (all three of them!!!), rather than do my run myself, I enlisted my two youngest, Owen (almost 5) and Carly (almost 7)...to run/walk with me to their school to find out what teachers they have. So, we did it. The three of us. And, it was fun. I met my husband at the school and he took everyone back home so that I could push in the last bit of the run. In the end it was about 1.3. Not a lot...but, it kept my streak alive, got my heart rate up and was an adventure with the kids.

I was pretty tired last night and was planning on taking a day off from any exercise but then I decided to do a little Yoga. I have been going non-stop for about 2 weeks now and I think I am getting used to it but I decided to take it a little easier last night but I am still proud I did something. I can't guarantee I won't need a day off here soon though, LOL.

I'm trying to take a couple of minutes each day to log in a post about my run. It's great to look back and reflect on past runs....I'm also including a pic that reminds me of the workout somehow...just something I'm doing for myself which I thought I'd share with you all. Perhaps this is something that will work for you too? On Sunday I did an 8-mile run/walk with my brother Mike. It felt awesome and was a great opportunity for us to spend some quality time together. During our 8 miles, we thought "hey, if we're going to do 8...let's go for 10". So, later in the evening, we tacked on another 2 miles run/walk...it felt GREAT! Today, I woke up, a little tired and a little sore. I went out for an easy 3.1 course before work. It was a good way to start my day and to keep my streak going.

Yoga is my chosen way to stay fit as it not only strengthens the body, it also provides time for meditation. This weekend along with my regular practice, I added more core related poses as I would like to be able to "float" more easily from one posture to the next. (Not too good at doing self portraits while doing yoga, I added a shot of the mat on the beach:-))

Trying to get back into a decent running shape has been a little difficult. I'm an all or nothing type...so, easing in to it is not really my style... good or bad, it's just as my kids would say..."How I roll"! Over the last two weeks, I have only missed a day of fitness, I hiked two days and have run the rest. The first week was okay...and, I was glad to have the Fit Log and the encourgement on the facebook group. This past week we travelled to Lake Tahoe where I tried to run in altitude... Wow, that was much harder than I thought...BUT, THANKS to the Fit Club Folks and my Fit Log points... I kept going! Today... I got back home and went for my 5 mile loop... It felt as if I had cement blocks inside my running shoes...but, I kept going...Thanks to YOU, the Fit Club Folks and keeping up on Fit Log points. And, tomorrow, I'm going out again because I know you're all routing for me...as I am routing for you. I'm so grateful for this club because, while it doesn't feel GREAT to run with cement blocks in your shoes, it feels fantastic after and I KNOW the great feeling during the run is just around the corner.

This running at altitude is rough although the location makes up for it and then some. The running part is definitely a battle. Always slugglish, lack of oxygen, serious hills. I ran 5.85 miles today and had a 12:30 mile and a 5:50 mile. Hopefully all these hills help me when I get back home. I must also say if it wasn't for the UjENA Fit Club, there is no way I would be doing this much running on vacation. Great stuff!
This running at altitude is rough although the location makes up for it and then some. The running part is definitely a battle. Always slugglish, lack of oxygen, serious hills.

The last couple of days I have felt really tired...too tired to go for a run. So, rather than skip a day of fitness, I went hiking again today. This time, it was just my daughter Carly (she's 6) and I. We went out for 2 miles...it felt good and gave me a little more energy. It was pretty tough for Carly... she was tired and her legs hurt. I kept telling her that this was getting her ready for the upcoming soccer season...that helped, a little. I'm proud of getting out and keeping my streak going the last couple of days...bummed that I haven't gotten some runs in, but, thankful for the special time with Carly.

We just got back from an hour and forty-five minute hike with the kids. It was awesome!!! I've been running a lot more lately and while it feels fantastic...the last couple of days, I have been really tired. I wanted to take a day off of running but still keep up with my fitness. This was a great alternative.

Ran my Michael 10k course again today. Feeling a little tired...need to get more sleep. Six hours just does not work for me. Mileage so far for the week is at 37. I might run another four miles with Mike later giving me 10 points for the day. But not sure about this...Ran 3.8 miles with Mike make 10 for the day and 41 for the week so far.

I have been running for nearly 50 years and I can tell you that when I don't run/walk every day I loose it. Until I started my daily running streak Oct 1, 2008 I had a hard time staying in shape. I would miss one day and the next thing I knew I had not run all week. It was not working. I was gaining a little weight and not able to run good races.
So I made it a habit. A habit that without fail I will do at least one mile every day. I have gotten up as early as 4am to do a run and have run late at night just to do it. I am always glad I did not miss a day. In fact since Nov 1, 2008 I have been covering at least 30 miles per week or more.
It will take about 20 days to get hooked or a little more but do it. You will be glad you did. (photo - right after the finish of the San Francisco Half Marathon 2011 - thanks Catherine)

I started this mornings Yoga practice with 25 Sun Salutations (talk about a work out! Usually 10 is the max followed by vinyasas), hoping it would keep the rain at bay. No luck, later I found myself in a downpour on the motorbike.... Sun Salutations are an excellent way to warm up the body and stretch and can be a great workout in themselves.

This has been an ideal summer for runners here in Northern California. I was able to run 11 miles at noon today. It was just 72 degrees. A little warm but not bad. And the UjENA FIT Club was what got me out. It gave me the motivation I needed. My pace was an easy 8:24/mile. Just did not feel like pushing it. Mileage so far for the week is at 30.6. Getting ready to run the Oregon Wine Country Half Marathon Sept 4. My goal is to run under 1:32. (photo from recent SF Half - thanks Catherine)

Still wanting to hit 40 plus for the week ending Sunday. Saturday will be tough since we have a Ujena product video shoot starting at 7:30am.

This is my first Fit Club Entry so I guess I will start with what I did last night. I started off with taking an hour long Yoga Class! I really like my teacher and she has encouraged me to try a 21 day meditation program which is very exciting. It starts on Monday and I got Lisa and Julia to do it with me. So instead of talking about reality shows at work, we will be able to talk about our meditation and how it is going although I know we will still talk about TV too...LOL. Ok, back to my work-out. So after Yoga, I slipped into the last 15 minutes of a class that works on your abs and butt! That was pretty hard but I liked it. Then I took my hour long high energy dance class which I love!! I am starting to get the choreography down so I am feeling more confident! I love dancing...and to all my UjENA Jam friends, watch out because I will be bringing new moves with me to the Jam when I hit the dance floor...LOL...I have added some steps to my fist pump move. :-) Here is a photo of me, Lisa, and Julia with UjENA Fit Club Founder, Bob Anderson!

Alright...so here I go again, sounding like a broken record but, truth be told, today I was NOT up for running. I guess I'm not quite in shape enough and every time I hit the road it's largely in part to either my husband, my dad or all this fantastic motivation from the UjENA Fit Club... So, I suppose you could say that the phase I'm in right now is the "whatever it takes to get out the door" stage of running! Anyway, enough about that...so, YES, I did get out! Yes, initially I was planning to run two miles...and YES...right at the 1.3 mile mark I stumbled on to a trail called the TMT... Tompkins Memorial Trail... I was sold!!! One of my very best friends is Trisha Tompkins...an all around AMAZING person and friend...really a sister to me. So, anyway, I'm on the Tompkins trail and suddenly, I am motivated...BIG TIME! And, what started out as a hum drum 2 miler ended up a 5.5. Thanks Trish!!!

Many of us do not have a coach or a training partner. It can be tough enough just to get out the door let along do a quality workout. This is why I use my watch as my coach. I time everything. To help push me, a workout that works for me is what I call The Pace-Up. You can do it on a track or on the road. Five one mile on the track is a good one. To make The Pace-Up each mile has to be faster than the one before.
Not only does this give you a great physical workout but it builds mental strength too. Rest time in between can be whatever it takes for you to be ready to run faster. (But not more than 10 minutes.) If you miss one, finish the workout and plan on making The Pace-Up another time. This type of workout once a week helped me run 59:26 in Stockton (10 mile race) at age 53. My times for my Five x Mile Pace-Up were: 5:41, 5:35, 5:31, 5:28, 5:22 for a total time of 27:39.2 Be sure to record your workout.

I got up early and went with my bro to football practice. While they were out there pushing and shoving, I ran 2 miles and then did a full circuit in the weight room. At least it is air-conditioned in there!

Being an "Old Guy" (65) and recovering a heart attack and two surgeries, I have to take it easy. My workout is walking a mile or so along the Brazos River in Waco or along White Rock Lake in Dallas shooting models two or three times a week. I lost 25 pounds the week of the heart attack and surgery, although I don't recommend that as a weight loss program. So far, the walking is keeping the weight off.

Ran one of my 10k (6.2 miles) course today. Over the last week I have run this course three times. Each time I ran faster than the last. I will continue with this for a total of 10 times. This is what I call a Step-Up workout. There are so many ways to do it. I tell you more on our UjENA FIT Club website and on our group at Facebook.
After work I ran a mile with my son Mike. Mileage for the day and week is at 7.2. I want to hit at least 42 miles this week. It is going to be a little tough since we are doing a Ujena video shoot on Saturday and I can only get in a couple of miles that day.

I'm bummed that I missed my run yesterday... We drove to Tahoe with the family and I just wasn't motivated after a long car ride. So, today, I ran 3.8 in the altitude and hills of North Star. It felt good but, hard. Tomorrow I am going to find a course that is at least 5...

I walked 10 miles on the treadmill while watching "Facing the Giants." It is such an inspirational movie. I'm really glad somebody left it in the DVD player. It makes me feel like I can do anything!

Catheirne and I went for a nice 3.5 mile walk. My legs were tired from the 10 miler and taking it easy was perfect. This gives me 44 miles for the week. Right where I wanted to be. I want to get in 40 plus miles over the next four weeks.

Got to hit with my ex #1 men's singles player. He has been studying so much, he has not been playing like he likes to, so we hit for about an hour and played for another hour. Ninety degrees when we began at 1030 am & 97 degrees when we were finished at 12:45. Was soaked and really too tired to do anything else. This was two days in a row for me. Feeling like my old self...;-)

Well I went skiing for a little while today. The lake is down about 9 feet and feels warm so we didn't stay out very long but it was fun. I came home and did a mile on the treadmill cuz it is too hot to run outside. Then I did 30 minutes with my winter dance partner, Richard Simmons!

I had big plans to run today...I have a little more time to run on Saturdays and I thought... PERFECT, I'll wake up, have my coffee and go for a nice long run. Well, the wake up and have coffee part came pretty easy BUT, when it came time to motivate for my run....well, let's just say, that part proved to be a bit more difficult! Luckily, Justin gave me some encouragement and I have the challenge of keeping up my UjENA Fit Club, FIT LOG points...SOOOOO, after a little grumbling and stalling, I laced up my shoes and hit the road. I ran a little over five miles on a very hilly course. Once I got past the first few minutes of the run, I was totally in to it and it felt GREAT! Thanks again to Justin and the UjENA Fit Club for pushing me to get my runs in... I can proudly say that I've officially completed DAY SIX.

Justin and I ran ten miles this morning first thing. It was a little windy but not too bad. The temp was a perfect 59 degrees. The first 5 miles I avg 7:25 and the last five I avg 6:55. And I did not get enough sleep last night for sure. I really want to get under 7min/mile for the San Jose Half Oct 2. That's 1:31:42 or better is my goal. Mileage so far for the week is at 40. It is cool to post at Ujena Network and it also shows up on UjENA FIT Club site too.

I really love this Total Body Solutions DVD.
The neck and Shoulder routine really helps with the stiffness and soreness.
Although I do the whole 60 minutes of all drills.
This is a great workout for anyone that has pain or just needs to loosen up before starting a Big Workout routine.

This morning I decided another dose of Yin yoga was in store. Holding the poses for 5 minutes or more adds time for a short meditation in each posture.

I got up very late, since I had the bar promotional shoot til 3am and then hung out with my grandson till 5am at a coffee house. He is 18 and came by the club. So low and behold, my tennis buddy calls me about 345 to go play and we played from 645 til 900 pm. It was about 100 degrees, but we did well and got allot of games in, it was his day, but I will get him next time. Great workout, unexpected made it better....;-)

The title says it all. 3 boring miles on the treadmill. I wish it wasn't so hot. If i put cold water and ice cubes in the bathtub and splash around will that count as swimming?

I ran twice today but each one was easy. I ran 1.8 miles with my son Mike this morning and then ran/walked 3.2 miles at lunch. I was going to do six miles and wanted to push it but decided to back off since I am running 10 miles hard with Justin in the morning. 30 miles so far for the week.

I think it is important to have a plan and to set goals. If you want to race a half marathon give yourself at least 10 weeks to get ready. Get in at least 30-40 miles per week and be sure to run a 13-15 miler at least three to four times. Make sure your body and mind is ready for the distance.
Then once you know you can handle the distance, set a goal for yourself. If it is your first one you might want to get under two hours or under 1:30 depending on where you are at in your training. Once you have a feel on what you want to do figure out your pace per mile. Maybe it is 7:00/minutes per mile which would give you 1:31:42. But don't set this as a goal if you can't run three miles at this pace and you have doubts that you can hold it.
Once you get in your mind what you can do, then go out at that pace. A half marathon (13.1 miles) is a long distance but you are not going to end up with 1:31 if you go out at 8 minutes per mile for the first four and think you are going to make up the time. You would have to run 6 minute miles for four miles to get back to an average of 7 and still have five miles to go.
Set a goal and GO FOR IT! If you don't reach it, there is always next time.

This morning I went on a run/walk with my 8-year old son, Jaxson. It was a great time for us to spend some quality time together while getting in some fitness. We were gone for about an hour and probably went 4.5 miles. Now we're ready to hit the mall for some back-to-school shopping :)
