Out of the 30 days of planned running, I completed 22 days [...]

Mixing it up

May 23, 2009

So yesterday was another day out at the motocross track, which ended up being my exercise for the day.  Its been awhile since our last ride, wow, two months according to my last post on this.
Just as a refresher, we took up riding motocross bikes about 7-8 months ago learning from scratch, I have been [...]

Jaunt up the hill

May 21, 2009

Was feeling pretty sluggish this afternoon, so decided to take my workout outside for some extra energy. Took a little run up a local trail that is only about 3 miles from the house. We live in a town that has a large rock on the hill in the center, and there is [...]

Been out of commission, out of town, and in general out of touch with the internet mostly for the last week.
Quick catch up until I can wrap up on some half completed posts.
Had an ‘extreme’ workout of sorts the Saturday before last, which put me out of commission for a good deal of last week. [...]

Testing my limits

May 11, 2009

“Pain is just weakness leaving the body” – (unknown author, drill sergeant maybe??)
We interrupt our regularly scheduled running program this week, to recover from a super intense workout over the weekend.
So Thursday I did a walk instead of run to help work on my form due to the headaches I was causing from my running [...]

Day 17 – Running

May 8, 2009

Day 17 of my running challenge finds me taking it easy again.  Over the last two weeks, I have developed chronic tension in my shoulders and neck that are leading to tension headaches.  Initially I thought it was just a product of other factors, since this is my normal first location for pain over the [...]

Day 12 – Missed (super bummed, busy and bad day, moving past it)

Day 11 – Running

May 1, 2009

Today was a good day for my running challenge.  I did not do any incredible distance or time, but I did some good work on overcoming that ‘voice’.  You know the one.  The one that tells you to quit, that your chest hurts, that you should cut today short……….that one.
I did not do any intervals [...]

Day 10 – Running

May 1, 2009

My running challenge today almost was missed.  I did not feel very good today at all, and came home from work exhausted with a bad headache.
I finally started feeling a bit better late in the evening, so while I did not run, I still got on the treadmill and did a fast walk for awhile.  [...]

Day 9 – Running

April 30, 2009

Day 9 of my running challenge is wrapped up.
I did 14 minutes of running, followed by about 15 minutes of leg work, and then some stretching.
Bit stiff today, and likely should not have worn the heels I did.  The shoes don’t have good support, and I came home with achy feet and then ran.  No [...]
