Running: The Lost Dutchman Marathon

Logan — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 01:10:07 +0000

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

Logan — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 00:32:21 +0000

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. (…)

Logan — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 00:41:33 +0000

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

Logan — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:35:12 +0000

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

Logan — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 19:58:30 +0000

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

Logan — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 23:26:10 +0000

(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

Logan — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 18:36:18 +0000

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

Logan — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 00:12:45 +0000

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

Logan — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 01:12:12 +0000

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

Logan — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 01:01:15 +0000

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 (…)
