Its' been a long hot summer but luckily autumn is around the corner (starts tomorrow actually ;). I am looking forward to start running again as soon as I finish with Chalean Extreme by the end of November Lord willing.

happy new year

I hope everyone had a happy and blessed new year and may the Lord be with you all the way in 2012! I didn't get a chance to run this weekend so I decided to make it up today. The original plan was to run 9.5 miles. Last night while looking for a half way point from the house, I found a gas station that was 5.5 miles away. I figured that I would run 11 miles and call it a day. The funny thing is almost a mile into my run I thought about running 13.1. I wondered if my body could match my brain and after digging in I did it! My starting time was at 7:43 ending at 10:07.

getting ready

Good morning all, I ran a good 8 miles this morning taking 1 hour and 43 minutes (7:12 - 8:55).
Yes it was slow but hey it's Christmas. Thank God I found a training program to prepare me for Gasparilla. I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, don't eat too much and let's remember the reason for the season which is Jesus Christ our Lord.

round and round

Running on the Brandon High track was interesting. Going around 26 times (6.5 miles for that day) I thought that I was going to go crazy; at the end of it, not bad at all. A good friend of mine accompanied me around the track even though he ran about a lap and a half. My goal was to see how many times that I could lap him. I finished my cool down lap right before the rain started; talk about perfect timing. The Lord kept it dry for me so that I could finish running :)

great run

I had a great run this evening. I started out faster than expected but I kept the pace. I even sprinted the last 200 yards. It's all fun and games until a ferrel cat wants to attack you, LOL. Everyone have a God filled night's rest.

Greetings

I pray that everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving now for the dash to Christmas (pun intended :) ).
One of my neighbors made me laugh because while running she commented that I was making everyone look bad. We have to work off the turkey some how; have a blessed day.
