A long day so far — computer acting up and some difficulty with the headlines. It seems like this morning’s run happened on a different day.
But it was a today, a beautiful morning, in fact, with a light breeze and a high and hot sun. I ran four and then did 90 pushups and 45 crunches.
Music: several iTunes exclusives — Bruce Springsteen, Magic Tour Highlights; R.E.M., Accelerate extras; and R.E.M., Live from London.
I got outside today and ran what I think (no GPS) was a four-mile trek.
Music: Bruce Springsteen, The River
I think I’ve put life’s intrusions behind me — the hot water heater, the cleanup, the trip to the airport to get my folks — and I should be able to resume a consistent running regimen as I move through the summer. Right now, I have no race goals, though I am shooting for 900 miles by year’s end. I am likely to do two or three 5Ks in the fall and maybe a 10K — we’ll see, though.
As for today, I stayed inside and ran on the treadmill because of the rain. Did five miles in 43:23 and now my Achilles’ are tight.
Music: Bruce Springsteen, Magic
Got back outside today after a couple of days off — I had the carpet guys in Tuesday to deal with the wet den rug and I had to go to the airport yesterday to get my parents. Ran the Dow Jones route — without the GPS, arghh — and got in five miles.
Music: John Mellencamp, Freedom’s Road
Three miles near the house — I forgot how hilly it is in Kendall Park. None of them are particularly steep, but they are continuous. Still no GPS.
Music: REM, I Feel Fine
