Running Update
The big test for streak came today, the weekend. Some how I was able to drag myself out of comfortable bed and added another half a mile. Everything working ok, but callus on left foot is still kinda angry for the first mile or so. Hopefully that beings to fade soon. Hmm, never noticed that…

Still Running
With temps in the high 30s, I got out my running jacket. Unfortunately, the combination of jacket and gloves makes my watch a pain to use. So, while I queued up a run work out as I was headed out the door, the crown click to actually start the run didn’t take. So, no hard…

The days are super nice…
but the mornings are still pretty chilly. 40 degrees on the run today. I’m glad that I didn’t second guess wearing 2 running shirts (short leave under long sleeve.) It was nice to be running in the moonlight again.

Day Two
Just got back from today’s run, less than 24 hours since last one. Still feeling mostly ok. The callus by my pinky two on left foot still pretty angry, but I that should fade in the coming days. Felt good to make it during pre-dawn hours, even if it was pretty cool. Oddly, it was…

Today On The Run #18 Ultra Realistic Treadmill Courses
Recently, I was on vacation and forgot to bring my cold/wet weather running gear. After running in sunny weather in 70s, 80s, and 90s for the last few months, mid 40s and rain wasn’t my jam, so I decided to head to the workout room at the hotel and pound out 10 on a treadmill.…

Today On The Run #17 Keep Showing Up
This 👇, so much so. Some days it just flows and I feel like I’m born to do this, other days it feels like I’m trudging through hell. Every day I make the choice to show up and see what I’ve got, and to try and be better. My advice: keep showing up.#MondayMotivaton #TogetherForward —…

Today On The Run #16 Peace, Love, and Respect
I don’t follow the professional running scene much, but congratulations to Desiree Linden, the first female American Boston Marathon winner since 1985! The weather was completely bananas; I’m pretty sure I would have hung it up in the first few miles, myself. Des almost quit herself! Runner’s World has a great write up on how her…

Today On The Run #15 Cheating
Stepping into the confessional… The majority of my miles are done with the company of my trusty MP3 player. But, I rarely listen to music; I’m big time into podcasts. I’m less likely to zone out listening to podcasts and they don’t completely block out ambient noise the way music does. But, sometimes, I drift…

Today On The Run #14 That 10 Degree Difference
Things are finally starting to get warm again in Brentwood. The day time temps are in mid to high 70s. More importantly, the morning temperatures have been in the mid 50s. After an eternity of cold and wet (by California standards, sorry my east coast friends) it feels good to lose a few layers and…

Today On The Run #13 Gobble Gobble
Running up on wildlife in my early morning runs is nothing new. I see and hear all sorts of critters skittering off into the shadows as I plod my way along. Thankfully, I still haven’t met up with any coyotes or mountain lions that supposedly lurk just beyond my normal running routes. Yesterday morning, I…
