Month: March 2023

A very tired-feeling run this morning. No real issues, just tired. The hamstring is slowly feeling a bit better.

We all also lost an hour of sleep due to the daylight savings time change. Got up at what would’ve been about 3:15AM.

Today’s run was a 14.4 mile fairly flat route. Pace was a slogging 10:23. Weight was 146.2.

Back to it. I decided to take a few more days off to let everything recover. Tuesday was a very, very tired day. It’s getting into March but the early mornings are still cold.

Today’s run was an 8.05 mile rolling hills route. Pace was 9:27. Weight was 145.2.

A very tired run this morning. Definitely feeling Sunday’s race. The early morning wasn’t too cold but the stiff wind in places was. Head down and get on with it.

Today’s run was an 8.05 mile rolling hills route. Pace was a sluggish 10:05. Weight was 145.8.

First marathon of the season is often times a wake-up call. No different today. The lack of the long runs leading up to the race showed up at about mile 20. The last six were that dragging yourself along.

Message received.

Today was the Hyannis Marathon. Pace was 10:37. Weight was 145.8.

The last run before the race on Sunday. Pretend it’s a 26.2 mile run. Relax, you’re going to be out here a while. Sort of a practice race.

Today’s run was an 11 mile rolling hills route. Pace was a relaxed 10:05. Weight was 144.6.

A cold, raining morning. I had planned on a longer run, but decided to stay in. It’s a trade-off, for one day, between taxing the immune system by getting rather chilled/soaked for a few hours and the desire to get the work in. Not when there’s a race in a few days. Hate it, though. Wimping out.

Today was a 40-minute workout on the bike. Weight was 146.6.

The hamstring is a bit sore, so switch to the bike for a day. First race is this Sunday. Hyannis Marathon is two loops around the half route and looks like this:

Today’s ride was about 20 minutes of good work, pushing a bit to hit that mild resistance level. Weight was 144.6.
