Day 1482

On the road again, this time in Austin. A nice run along the Red River in Zilker Park. A good day, a touch windy, warm, but not hot. Started too fast, however, and the right knee flexed a few times. The inside of it felt unstable, so slowed down.

Day 1481

Chores today, and struggled to get going, but at about 7-8 minutes I felt better and soldiered on. A slight blister on the left foot had me changing shoes. Need to take these on my trip tomorrow.

Day 1480

Another run in Central Park, this time early, before the sun comes up, but still a relatively busy time. I ran through the streets, starting slow, but then pushing around the loop. Felt great near the end, and ready for the day.

Day 1479

Central Park, center of the universe, or so the song goes. Late getting started after arriving in NYC. I had a nice run in the park, just looping around the circular path at the entrance where I came in. Not long, but enjoyable.

Day 1472

A good hard press today. A BFL run that was hard, but not too bad. If I were feeling better (a little head congestion), I'd  have pressed more.

Day 1466

The ATV was done, Delaney off at a cross country meet and Tia out of town. I could have waited for Kendall, but I thought on a warm fall day it might be nice to run.

I did a 5K. A hard one, but the same as Delaney today.

Day 1464

A long day, late run, which I was thinking might be an easy run and lifting, but not time. So a BFL run, where I messed up one of my intervals and ended up with 7.5, 7.8, 7.4mphs for the last push.

Day 1459

I went downstairs to run, and finish off season 4 of Battlestar Galactica. Been waiting a long time to get through those. As soon as I stepped on the treadmill, I was worried about today being a BFL run. Yesterday was tiring and I'm a little worn out.

However I got going and had a great run.

Renumbering

I was doing mental arithmetic recently and realized that four years should be right around 1460 days. But I was already there, ten days early.

I went back and found a jump from 1355 to 1366 in my log. Must have been tired that day and not paying attention. In any case, I decided to renumber things and clean up the log.

Day 1455

A week until four years and a holiday. Celebrated with a good run inside, despite a tight chest cold.

August

Only 54mi last month, but still a good month. A few weight workouts in there along with some long baseball games.

I feel pretty good. Nothing major hurts, though it does feel as though the back is tight. Some struggles swinging at baseball and some of the games where I've been more active at Shortstop are hard on the body. Definitely some soreness, but worlds better than last year at this time.

A little over a week to four years of running. Amazing.

Day 1454

BFL run day, but with no wind, I was halfway down the driveway before I realized. Not wanting to waste the day, I decided to just run  hard. Out to the west, down hills making good time and suffering on the way back. Two stretches of 30s walking to make up for the long hill climbs still had me finishing in decent time.
