Running

Day one of the hiking starting with a 17 degree run. A little colder and the higher elevation made for a slow roll. Ran with my middle son, Garrett, who made the adventure fun. After about a mile he decided to try to do a snow angel off the side of the road. Snow angle…

Today we set off for Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park in southern Utah. Didn’t have to rush this morning and ran an easy 10:20 pace since we will spend the next three days hiking. Gorgeous and sunny 51 degrees this morning felt like a great way to start the vacation! Run happy!

Today I was surprised when I went out the front door and faced a much cooler breeze than I expected. I ran into the wind most of the way out which meant the wind at my back on the way home. It also meant cooler starting out. The interesting thing was my pace did pick…

The wedding weekend took a toll on the daily blog and writing. Friday started with a run then sprint the rest of the day. Picked up my youngest from the airport at 8:30am. So happy he is home after being working out of town for a month and a half. Then work, Chamber luncheon on…

Sunny yesterday and sprinkled on today which was a fun change! Of course also washed my car yesterday. Run today was about the same and I have to admit I am not getting the proper rest and nutrition. Another day averaging a 10:30 min/mi pace. The run still feels good overall. Run happy!

That is what they say about the weather in Arizona this time of the year. We are actually about 10 degrees cooler than normal. Today’s run was around 56 degrees around 7:30am. I am still feeling heavy and slow with an average pace of 10:28 min/mi. I feel good otherwise so I will take it!…

Had an all day meeting so decided that I would need to get some fresh air after. Bad plan. The lunch was really really good and I filled my belly. Not only did I want to take a nap all afternoon, but I still felt full on my run. The fresh air absolutely did refresh…

Happy Monday! I ran early which is the best way to start the day. Start the day with a win and then off to win at work. It was another cool morning and I know they will come to an end soon. This is the coolest February and March in a very long time. The…

Today felt a bit little a Sunday stroll out on my normal three mile run course. The sun was shining and it was around 68 degrees out with a light breeze. Just perfect! Listening to The Power of One More and chapter on habits. I’ve read a lot about habits and my running streak actually…

Today was a very fun, Shot in the Dark, whiskey run. It wasn’t dark, however, we did do a shot! Place 3rd in my age bracket and received the very cool coaster. Bo placed 2nd in his age bracket so also got a coaster. Friends, Heather and Heather who are mother and daughter, joined us…
