Wednesday Meeting # 2

Had a good run today but the difference in last week and this week is only a few degrees but makes a HUGE difference..

I missed the running for the weekend and need to figure out ot to ensure I don't miss them going forward..

All in all a good start to a good week..

Wednesday First Group Meeting

So Tuesday was an off day and Wednesday was the group meeting day..

I would say about 20 or 25 people showed up. A pretty good variety of individuals.. some runners some not. Mostly looked like folks from previous years.. This is going to be fun..

Went through some drills for about 30 minutes then ran around the track and back to the building.. Something like 1.39 miles or so.. nothing special. Not so bad.. Then Tigre ( 4 month old daughter ) decided to stay up most of the night off and on.. I am supposed to run 3 miles today.. We will see how thing so. ;)

First RUN of many...

So I am at work today and I planned on heading out @ 11:30 to run outside.. I NEVER really run outside but I know that everything from here on needs to be outside and the weather is REALLY nice for Texas today. High of only something like 85 today.

I headed out with all my gadgets and expected to be running a nature trail of around 2 miles.. I need to run a 3 mile easy today so I will do a loop in the middle to make it work.

I get mid way done and realize that my nike plus says .25 miles more that I think I have run.. Something is wrong. I knew i may need to recalibrate it but whats up...?

So I am heading in for the finish and pick up the pace on the home stretch and .. ( Have to take a quick puke break about 20 yards from the finish :)

SO.......... Come to find out the path is not quite as it is marked and is a bit longer..

And that was my first run ... Looking forward to the rest. :)

3M Half Marathon ( Then a Tri )

So It has been quite a while since I have posted anything here.. A lot has changed.. For one I have a beautiful baby daughter now.. :) I am currently up to about 190 pounds and I changed jobs.



So on top of all of that I want to train for the 3M Half this coming January to get me in shape to train for my first tri this time next year... I joined a running / training group for the training and am planning on running with the "Recreational" group.. We will see how that goes.



Ready... ???
