Good lunch run today. Stayed aerobic until the 5 mile mark, then picked it up to finish under 48 minutes. My legs felt a little tired and tight in spots, but that all worked itself out and I felt real good during the last 3 minutes of higher pace.

Ran at lunch today.  It's beautiful outside, mid 60's and sunny.  I need to get on my bike!!!

Happy Tuesday, everyone!  :)

Had a blast!

Playing hockey at noon today with Alex during stick and puck, then hitting the pool later today, maybe with Sara if she is up for it after work.  We were going for a bike ride this morning, but it's pretty rainy out.  

It's good to have a day off of work to just hang out.  :)

Happy Monday, everyone!  :)

SLOW run on some good hills, early in the morning after a late night. I'll take it! LOL Stayed aerobic the whole time, just building some muscular endurance in the legs.

Laps 1+2 were 1.5 mile hilly loops, laps 3 + 4 were pretty flat 1 mile out and 1 mile back.

At my brother's house in Baltimore with Sara and Alex this weekend.  We had a blast yesterday visiting the Inner Harbor, Fort McHenry, and touring the USS Constellation.  I guess I could log a few of the miles we walked...LOL.

I got up and out early this morning for a decent run.  The best part of the entire workout was that I actually got up and out, considering how tired I was.  Good times!  :)

Starting in April, I'm really going to try to hit my monthly volume goals for s/b/r.  They should carry me to my total volume goals for 2006.  Those numbers are close to a 50% total increase from 2005. 

My schedule is still so varied that I don't think I could follow any training plan very well.  I'm going to try to just get the work in and build my base.  I'm not looking for any spectacular performance in any races anyway, just hoping to do a few, stay in good shape and have a little bit of fun!  :)

Man, I've been eating everything not nailed down lately!  :)

Running at lunch today, then a weekend road trip to Baltimore to visit my brother & family.  Going to take Alex to Fort McHenry to see where the Star Spangled Banner was written.  He's very excited.  I hope to get in one early morning run while I'm up there.  I already mapped out a 5 mile route on Gmap pedometer.

Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!  :)

Lunch run will not happen today.  Way too busy at work trying to get out early today.  I guess I really need to get in a run on my weekend trip!

Good swim this morning. I didn't push too hard, just focused on long, easy strokes. 2 sets of 1000 yards non-stop, except for two quick stretching breaks in the second 1000.

Up early at the pool today.  Swim was good.  I got wet.  :)

Happy Thursday, everyone!  :)

Rest day today.  Achilles and knees on both legs are stiff to the point of almost sore.  No injury, just need a little time to recover. 

Hurricanes host the Capitals again tonight.  Tonight, we clinch the Southeast Division when we win.  :)

Happy Wednesday, everyone!  :)
