Did a relatively easy run down to the Seine and back up thru the park, past the church totaling a little over 10ks. No aches or pains anywhere so that’s always a good place to be. Didn’t even notice any … Continue reading →

A good run this morning thru the local communities. I’ve been over these roads a thousand times but never in this sequence with this combination of hills. Of course I was sucking in serious air on those uphill climbs. I … Continue reading →

After a day off yesterday I went out for a nice 8k run this morning. No lingering after effects from long run on Sunday which is encouraging. I took it easy over the first few km to see how all … Continue reading →

Did a good run thru the park and Marly forest that totaled 27k. HR averaged 140 and pace was 5:34/km which is not fast but being fast wasn’t the objective. All moving parts felt fine. Tired at the end and … Continue reading →

It was like a spring day here so I went for a relatively short 6k run at a 4:34 min/km pace. I didn’t want to burn myself out before my long slow distance run planned for tomorrow. My heart rate … Continue reading →

Arch of my left foot started to hurt. Plus woke up some during the night so was already tired starting out. Cut the run short and only did 4kms. Will do better in the light of day this weekend.

It was cold, about -4°C, and clear for this morning’s run. I did an easy 10k averaging just over 5min/km. My legs were not fully recovered from Sunday’s long run.

I’m in among the other 35000 runners for the Paris marathon on April 15th. My good friend John, is in as well and gave me the necessary motivation. It’ll be great to run/suffer together. I’m going to document my preparation … Continue reading →

The race last evening went well. I finished without any injuries or falls. I did have one misstep where I aggravated my left big toe injury that has been present over the last 18 months. It was a dry course … Continue reading →

I’m running the Noctutrail at Rosny-sur-Seine this evening. It’s 17kms. Last year I came in 5th in my category, V2 with a time of 1:41:50. The guy who finished in 3rd place was 3:25 ahead of me so potentially I … Continue reading →

Good run this morning. As I started out I quickly found that I had some spring back in my legs. I did my route out through Etang-la-Ville. At the 10k turnaround point I was feeling good so I decided to … Continue reading →

I decided to take a day off from running and let my legs recover a bit more. I actually made that decision at 0555 this morning while still in bed. Sometimes the most difficult part of a run is that … Continue reading →

I got up early and was motivated. The weather was warm for a September. I thought that the rest day gove my legs enough time to sufficiently recover from the 17k run on Saturday. I intended on going 10ks but … Continue reading →

This morning was a nice sunny autumn day. A good day for a run through the local forest. After a rest day yesterday, my objective was to do 15 km. Objective achieved and then some. The loop through Marly forest … Continue reading →

I’m happy about how my 10k run went this morning. As I started out I was thinking about how now, past age 50, all the joints, feet, and muscles are stiff and need to be loosed up a bit in … Continue reading →

I went out for a morning run at 6AM. I only did 6.48 km. The weather was overcast and not too cold so I was still in shorts and t-shirt. It’s amazing how quickly I get out of shape. After … Continue reading →
