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

I went out with my heart rate monitor today for the first time and it was fun. I wanted to push the intensity a bit during the run to see what my heart rate would do. I went at about (…)

Running: The half marathon

by Logan on January 29, 2012

(Update at 7:10 pm on 1/29/12: My official chip time was 1:55:50, which is about 5 seconds less than my watch time.) I ran my first half marathon (and race in general) today. It was awesome. I was out there (…)

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

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 (…)

Running: Day 73

by Logan on January 15, 2012

I felt great on today’s run. My leg is very close to 100 percent and hardly bothered me at all. That said, my stride must still be compensating some because things started to get a bit sloppy around mile 6 (…)

Running: Day 72

by Logan on January 14, 2012

I went for my first real run since my injury today. I had 8 miles planned but told myself I would cut it short if anything felt weird. I ended up doing just short of 5. My left leg (the (…)

Running: Day 70

by Logan on January 11, 2012

I took Luna with me for my run today. After my run yesterday I wasn’t even sure if I would be able to go at all today. Thankfully my leg felt better than it has since the injury and I (…)
