Rest day.. Because your body needs it, even when your mind doesn’t want to!

Running in the cold – you may not be as fast as you feel you are.

Perfect Running Weather!!! Whether my Running technology works or not!


This unseasonable weather – is AWESOME!!!!   Normally I am unable to run whenever we get “perfect running weather” – so I am enjoying it even more!  All those days this year where the sun was shining, are being made up

Last nights run and ponderings on speed. Plus, the 100 up challenge!


It’s amazing to me, but my running seems much faster than it was. I have actually gone back and compared my times, and I am running consistently 1/2 a mile an hour faster than I was a month, 2 months or 3
