Running: The Lost Dutchman Marathon

by Logan on February 20, 2012

It’s been a day since I finished my first marathon and I feel great. My legs are a bit stiff and I’ve been hungry all day, but other than that I couldn’t be better. I visited my Aunt Rebecca in (…)

Running: Pre-marathon

by Logan on February 15, 2012

I will be running a marathon in a few days. That’s an awesome sentence, especially because I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time. Sunday I’ll be in Arizona for the Lost Dutchman Marathon with my Aunt Rebecca. (…)

Running: Days 83, 84 and 85

by Logan on February 12, 2012

I was bad about posting again, so this is going to be another 3-day report. Day 83 was a 4 miler, day 84 was a 3 miler with Luna, and day 85 (today) was an 8 miler. My legs felt (…)

Running: Days 80, 81 and 82

by Logan on February 8, 2012

As you can see from the headline, I haven’t been keeping up with blog posts like I should. I aborted my run on day 80, went for a nice fast run on day 81 and went for a run with (…)

Running: Day 79

by Logan on February 4, 2012

Running: Day 77

by Logan on January 21, 2012

I took it nice and easy on today’s run. It was the perfect temperature, there weren’t too many cars or people to deal with and the sun was out. I can’t ask for much better during a run. I took (…)

Running: Day 76

by Logan on January 19, 2012

My legs were tired today. I went out way too fast, which probably didn’t help things much. I have a problem where I speed up as I come up behind people to pass and that happened a lot in the (…)

Running: Day 75

by Logan on January 18, 2012

I split my run into two today. The first was a short 1-mile warm up with Luna, then I went out for about 7 on my own. It was a good run and Luna seemed to enjoy coming with me (…)

Running: Day 74

by Logan on January 17, 2012

I felt great on today’s run. The weather was perfect, my leg felt good and I cruised through the miles. I probably could have gone faster, but I don’t want to get injured again. I don’t think today’s run could (…)
