Running high

Not an extraordinary run today, it just felt awesome. 2 miles with the dog, 3 without.

I think I can. I think I can

There is some feeling I get when I'm running that I can become not only an ultrarunner but a great ultrarunner. I want to run very very far and finish first. For some reason I believe I can.

Running is consistent, blogging not so much.

Wow its  been a long time since I updated this! Well I have run at least three times a week since November 2018 and now averaging 4-5 days and about 20 miles a week. My plan is to run the Redding, CA Marathon in January, so I need to start boosting the miles and I may go to 6 days a week.

Still moving forward

So after I sprained my ankle i took about three weeks off of running. More time than i wanted to be off but it was probably good. During that time i still took the dog for walks and did bodyweight workouts. But now I'm back to running three days a week for about 3 weeks, and I plan on doing the moonlight madness 2 mile race across the Shasta damn on 8-27-17. Its short but it looks fun.

Update: I kind of got off of running for a while after the above happened :( but am now back running stronger than ever as of November 2018.

sprained ankle, rest week and new neighbors.

So last thursday I sprained my ankle so I have decide to take it easy and no running this week. After about two months of back to running I kind of feel lazy and a little like a caged animal. But hopefully the swelling will be gone by next week and I can continue on my running journey.
 on the brighter side of things, we met some of our neighbors yesterday and there really cool. They are a married couple me and Misty's age. They have a 11 year old daughter and a grandma as well. They seem like good and fun people, looking foward to getting to know them.

My running buddy.

She's a 7 month old playful, sometimes insane,  black lab. And one of the best running partners I have had. Below is a picture of her shortly after a good run, I assure you she's not dead.

Write it down.

A few years back I was a mediocre runner, and the main reason for that was because i consistently ran 3 to 4 times a week with out fail for many months. Then lots of things happened and i stopped running. Every time i would try to start running again i couldn't for some reason be consistantcy. Now I am back to running consistantcy 3 days a week for a little over a month. So whats the difference? I am keeping a record of every run I do. So I can look at what I did before and plan what i am going to do. I actually don't write it down, instead I use a log book app., but the main thing is that there is a record of it.
