A warm run

Howdy everyone, my wife and I enjoyed the afternoon by taking a run.  It was nice to get outside and enjoy the warmth before our share of the "cold" weather heads our way.  We ran 3.11 miles in 33:57; God bless and have a good night.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I hope that everyone has had a Happy New Year and is ready to hit the ground running.  My wife and I went for a run this morning in preparation for Gasparilla.  We walk/ran "4.07" miles in 44:20 with a split of 20:50. That distance is in quotations because I think the app that I am using has a glitch; hmm we'll see.  Let's continue to give the Lord all of the praise and glory in 2014, lace up those shoes and lets run :)

Running the Connector 5k

Well, well, well, who says that Florida doesn't have any hills.  FDOT decided to do a grand opening 5k run of the new Crosstown Connector.  What I think is funny is that I had seen pictures of the ramp and I figured that it wasn't too bad.  Oh the horror (LOL) I thought that the ramp wouldn't end.  What's even funnier is that it was uphill BOTH ways, we ran up the ramp, downward, turned around and ran upward again.  I did it in 29:13, I had fun.  I am making a call to the brothers to come on out; there were just a handful of us but the sisters showed up; Black Girls Run had a great showing.  Also I find it funny that once again a senior just cruises past me, I admired her colorful purple socks, LOL.  Well everyone have a blessed New Year.

Training with my wife

Howdy hope everyone had a blessed Christmas.  I had the pleasure of running with my wife this morning.  We did a run/walk on a new route: 2.77 miles in a time of 31:28.  I shall rest for the Crosstown Connector 5k on Saturday; God bless :)

All I want for Christmas...

Good morning, well the big day is almost here and what better way to prepare than to go for a morning run.  I know we tend to relax during the holiday season but hey my reasoning is if I continue to run/exercise I won't feel guilty for eating all of that yummy food ;)  I ran 3.72 miles in 33:00.  Have a Merry Christmas, put one foot in front of the other and remember that Jesus is the reason for the season :)

Its' brisk out there_11/27/13

Greetings, this is a re-post from 11/27/13.  I wanted to get a run in before Thanksgiving so out I went.  Man it was rather brisk out there.  I got the "enjoyment" of running with and against the wind along with a below average temperature.  Time 2.93 miles in 28:45.

From breeze to hot air

Merry Christmas everybody, the weather was great yesterday so I decided to take a run after church.  On the way out I had a "nice" head wind that kept me cool.  A fellow runner replied "It's hot isn't it?" I replied yes sir, not paying attention to what he asked me.  On the way back is where the heat wave began.  There wasn't any breeze not even a hot breeze.  Considering I hadn't jogged in about a month it was tiring but I made it.  I ran 3.85 miles in 38:09. I wish every one a Merry Christmas, stay safe and remember Jesus is the reason for the season; God bless! :)
