Cross training

 Right now I'm only running 3 days a week some I'm also doing 2 days of cross training. Mostly I am doing 1/4 farmer carries with 21 lb bags 4-5 times. I'll probably add some mobility exercises as well as some barefoot training later this week. Also the other two recovery days I am still walking for about 30-45 minutes. Might add some easy exercises in there too but nothing too hard.

Dog park running

 So I forgot I had this blog. Anyway I let life get in the way and stopped running for awhile but I'm back at it again. I ran  2 miles yesterday around the dog park while Diogi and Kida played with the other dogs. It wasn't fast but it was good.

Country running

I just moved to Cottonwood California. There are alot of ranches and nice houses in the area. The hills are great for running and the scenery is beautiful. Just ran about 8 miles with about 300 ft gain and loss. My legs are sore but it hurts so good.

New plan

So from time to time I try to rethink my running plans  to make sure I'm progressing as well as not wearing my self out. I have decided that right now Im going to put off the Marathon and train for a trail 10k trail run in November. Hopefully I can get my friend Clint to train and run the race with me :)  PS I'm still going for 1000 miles this year.

2019 progress

I have three goals as far as running goes for this year. 1. Run 1000 miles : So far I've run about 480. I think I got that one. 2. Run a Marathon. Technically the Marathon is in 2020 but its in January so close enough. 3. Run a mile under 7 minutes. My fastest time now is 7:19. I think I got that too. Yay!

Annoying setbacks

I hate  being sick or hurt because it means i have to take rest. Right now I have little white bumps on the ball of both my feet and they hurt. So i guess i should take a break but as soon as they're better I'm back out there full force.

Schedule flexibility

Had to help a friend with a fence today, so I skipped my long run today. So I have to add some miles throughout the week and do a good long run next week. You have to be flexible sometimes and do what you got to do.
