8.31.2010 Air Quality Report
Air Quality in Bartonville is Poor. While walking, within 20 minutes, headache, nausea and asthmatic feeling in the lungs(I'm not asthmatic). Coach Zoe's Recommendation: Don't exercise in Bartonville today: I'll be training in Southlake, or Flower Mound.
Sunday 8.29.10
16 miles in 2:30. Gotta say, it did get pretty painful at times on the ol' left knee. I think, some scar tissue was breaking up. Yesterday had a rocking 2 hour easy bike ride.
8.24.10: Me, the trail, the woods and our Creator
I was apparently looking for an excuse. Called a friend who ran the trails earlier. She said they were good to go. I headed out, had an hour. It was a great day, beautiful, so easy to connect with Creator. I wanted to run Twin Coves and hit the hills and didn't want to go slipping around or get hit with rain on the road so I opted to go in at Murrel Park. It was perfect. Nice easy pace, had the whole place to myself. Just the way I like it, me
8.23.10 2000 yards
The best 2000 yards I've ever swam. I missed FOY Master's with Tom Radam, and just went in and cranked out: 500 swim: wish I would have timed it, it seemed fast 500 drill 500 pull (some with paddles) 500 IM ish It was a blast. Today is a great day.
Update:
Can't say that I'm feeling any more energized from my morning run. Started off about 5:30, packed a back pack, and headed out to do some long loops. I ran Rolling Acres, plus Jeter Rd Loop and repeated with a stop at my back pack. It was pretty easy. I wish I would have been more rested. I didn't have any sleep last night, and I thought that would be a major problem. It wasn't. I was hoping for sub 10 minute miles. I didn't stop my watch when I stopped
14 miles: By 8 AM
No this is not on a vehicle that has wheels, this is on my own two feet. I'm too tired to talk about it now. After my second cup of coffee, I'll give you the full low down. I will say this. Today I have felt good, yesterday I felt good, the air is cleaner than usual. The two days before that
I think, there’s a cold front
It's 10:00 and it's only 89 degrees. I hit the road about 6:45, when it was light enough (and I was ready enough) for a 2 hour road ride, it actually felt, cool. Of course, cool is a relative term when you're dealing with 107 degrees on a daily basis. It felt good to go out and hit the open road. I felt tired at first, and I've notice more recently it takes me an hour to w/u. That can/could be a problem. After an hour, I felt pretty good,
BTW
On my 2 hour Trail Run, I wore my Brooks Five's. That's a "5 k racer." They were great, a more technical course, it may have not been enough traction, but on Knob Hill, they rocked. Plenty of support and coverage.
11.5 miles Knob Hill out and back
Started this morning off at 4 AM, cappuccino, 4 eggs scrambled, C-monster and trail at 5:15. It was so dark, I drove by the park entrance. That was funny. Had my head lamp on. I have decided I like running in the dark better than running during the day. You can't see where you are going and the next thing you know, it's time to turn around. After 6 huge cobwebs I finally decided to grab a stick. I felt very primal. Felt like I was born to run. The stick
