• Weekly Mileage – 6/29/24

    Complete one of my goals for 20 miles per week and almost hit my 30 mile goal. I finished my week with an 8 mile run on Sunday for a total of 28 miles. I could have run more, but I decided not to risk injury. Strong work!

  • Long Run PR – 5/17/24

    Long Run PR – 5/17/24

    Went out for a run today and complete my long run goal! I was listening to several audiobooks, so I think that helped me keep my pace down. My knee was bothering me a little, but my breathing felt fine so I decided to go for the long run. I’m glad I did. I’m not…

  • 1 Mile PR – 5/15/24

    1 Mile PR – 5/15/24

    Decided to try another mile PR before I played soccer later in the day. I ran a 6:41 mile which was a lot better than I thought I would do! I only need to shave off another 11 seconds from this time by the end of the year to meet my goal of 6:30. No…

  • Sick in Bed – 5/3/24

    Well, I’ve caught something. This might be a blessing in disguise since I won’t be able to exercise for a bit (my knee still hurts). I’m hoping to be back running by the end of next week.

  • Injury – 4/24/24

    Once again, I injured my knee playing soccer. I recently did some intense workouts and soccer drills, so my muscles were probably fatigued from the effort. Either way, I pushed myself too hard in a pickup game and felt something give in the lower front part of my knee. I’ve had issues with that area…

This is how it all started…

Injured my knee. Getting back into running. My 2024 goal is to do a 10 mi long run and 6:30 mile run.
