Evening Run...

Not a big fan of evening runs. I'm usually tired at the end if the day and I really just want to watch tv when I get home. Sometimes you just have to run when you can. Anyway here are my stats.

Bad training days and getting back on the plan...

So I did not run during my trip to Chicago. I skipped my weekend long run and in sum had a poor training for the week. I only logged 14 miles. Definitely not where I want to be. The running week ending today started the same way. However at the end I got my act together and managed a somewhat decent long run and a respectable 42 miles for the week. Activity Route: -- Elev. Avg: 86 ft Location: New York City, NY Elev. Gain: +3 ft Date: 08/24/08 Up/Downhill: [+895/-892] Time: 05:04 AM Difficulty: 3.6 / 5.0 Weather: Mostly Cloudy 69 F temp; 81% humidity 69 F heat index; winds Vrbl 3 Performance Distance: 17.32 miles Goal: 7' 30 min/mi pace Time: 2:18:50 Speed: 7.5 mph Attained: 94% Pace: 8' 01 /mi Calories: 2228

Running During a Buisness Trip...

I always take my running gear when I go on business trips, but most of the time I actually don't manage to get a run in. The problem usually is I am tired from getting there and by the time I get to the hotel at the end of the day, I am exhausted. It is also no help that I have a hard time getting any sleep on the typical hotel bed. I am currently on a two-day trip to my company's HQ near Chicago. As usual, I have my running stuff. Unlike other times I am determined to get my run in. Maybe a 10 miler in the morning. I'll report if I get on the road.

When not hitting the road...

When I'm not hitting the pavement making road kill I am performing my daddy duties.

Lazy days of Summer...

I have been lazy the last two weeks, in my blogging and in my running. I have done the minimum mileage for two weeks (80) that I set as a goal. Half of it on the treadmill. Anyway I plan to get back on track this weekend with a 20 mile run Saturday. For Saturday's run I will join many others in Central Park for one of two (I think) long runs sponsored by the NYRRC. It will also be my first run with my Fred's Team mates. I'll try to take some pictures.
