I should have remembered Ecclesiastes...

Greetings, it was a great day to run along the Causeway.  How can you not love this time of year?  The humidity is lower, the temperature too.  So why on God's green earth did I decide to leave my water in the car, SMH. I figured I was going to just run a 5k and then do some errands.  I have run many 5ks sans water but for some reason this run was different.  I started out great.  I was enjoying the water, the scenery et. al. but then it happened; dehydration began to kick in and I left my water in the car.  Since I refused to start walking all that I could do was run faster, which I did not.  It definitely was not me but I ran if not my fastest but one of my best times ever; THANK YOU LORD. So take note, NEVER go running without any water. Even if you are going just up the street bring some water with you. Peace!  I ran 3.22 miles, in 29:58, pace of 9:18min/mi, speed: 6.45 mi/h.

10 miles for what?

Greetings, what great weather to go for a run.  I figured what the heck 10 is a nice number so I ran 10 miles. 10.08 miles in 1:48:08, now time for some ben gay! Thank you Lord.

Who is that guy...

Greetings, what a great evening to run. I ran through a new neighborhood today and it was rather interesting.  Some of these subdivisions look a lot smaller from the outside but while running through some of them I began asking the question, "Where is the finish line?"  It was not as bad as I make it out to be.  Actually the last half mile is when I really turned on the gas.  I had this look of determination on my face so much so that my neighbors may have laughed at me but that is okay.  I ran 8.01 miles in 1:27:55, pace of 10:59 min/min., speed 5.46 mi/h. God bless.

I conquered the hill...

Greetings, on my second run of the Causeway I decided to run on the overpass.  It was not as daunting as I thought it would be.  On the way up there is a slight "break" before the angle of the overpass changes.  I did 5.04 miles with a pace of 10:48 and a time of 54:27.  Let us see what the Lord has in store for the next time.

Jeez Louise

The excitement continues.  I decided to run 6 miles today, at least I set out to do that. I ran to the secondary street and my neighbor stops me for a few minutes.  In actuality he did me a favor by moving my starting point away from home so that on the way back I can have a cool down period.  I ran 6.01 miles in 1:06:39. Lord willing I will be able to get this down to less than an hour.  I plan on doing the 1/2 marathon in 2 hours flat so Lord willing I have some work to do.

1/2 Marathon or Nothing!

Greetings!  Well the time has finally come when I run the Causeway.  This is part of my Gasparilla 1/2 marathon training.  I was not really concerned about the overcast weather as I went on my inaugural run of the season.  I was entertained by the fish jumping out of the water.  I ran 3.93 miles in 41:07, have a blessed evening.
