Days like yesterday are the reason I love running
Awesome day running yesterday. There has to be a correlation between tempo runs and performance. Before my tempo run, I was having a hard time to get below 9:00 pace. Last Sunday for my long run I...

Hill run day. I actually enjoyed it.

Ice bath for my foot after my run. Life is good.
I ran my planned 4 miles yesterday and did pretty well. My heel (probably achilles) was a bit sore during the day so I kept ice on it and kept it elevated most of the day at work. Actually it didn’t...

Last post… about my achilles.
I guess that ice bath for my foot really helped. I had no pain all day. I didn’t have to ice my foot (mainly because I didn’t even think of doing it) and when I ran, I had no pain in my achilles. It...

Now we start training for the September marathon
Well I have somewhat recuperated from the 5K I ran on Saturday. It still amazes me how I can run a 5K at close to the same speed in my neighborhood and not feel badly the next day. After a race...
