The day after Christmas

Twas the day after Christmas and I needed a run.....

And that's as creative as I'm feeling right now, mainly because it was a cold and damp the entire time, but that's what you get for running in December. So it was a nice 5 miler, or close enough to, with a two decent climbs between miles 3 and 4, back to back with just a little rest, so I'd say they're the hallmarks of the trot.

So over the next week I'll be putting together my top ten runs of the year and hopefully getting enough downtime to clean the blog up a little bit. Merry Christmas

Back again

So I took a break, a few weeks to be truthful, but I haven't stopped running yet, just had to migrate to a treadmill, now that I'm back on the road for a bit I'll be posting a bit. Back in CT today was a simple 4 mile route, listed here.

So it was a simple little route, just a few changes in elevation, with some small climbs. Overall it's good but the road is a little narrow due to the snow now but otherwise it's a nice little run.

Benchmark Run

Hey all! I meant to post this run two days ago when I ran it but got sidetracked traveling back to NY and then back down to Texas. The life of a traveler, the only problem was my knees were a little stiff today during the six miler I've started using as my basis here in corpus, for reference here's the 6 miler.

But the real one I wanted to pose was what I call my benchmark run. It's a simple 5k, or close enough to a 5k, with a good amount of elevation change, that I use to see where I am in my training. My best time on this was when i was 18 and I ran it in just under 18 minutes. Now, ten years later my time was 21:30, so I'm a little off from my teenage years.. It starts off at my house in CT, and here it is, my Benchmark Run
