Stay connected with Jim's marathon training http://personalpages.tds.net/~jimbarbe/runlog.htm Sun, 18 Dec 2011 21:18:00 EST Sun, 18 Dec 2011 21:18:00 EST en-us Copyright 2011, Jim Barbe jimbarbe@tds.net (Jim Barbe) Exercise 120 http://personalpages.tds.net/~jimbarbe/runlog.htm http://personalpages.tds.net/~jimbarbe/jims_RSS_feed.gif http://personalpages.tds.net/~jimbarbe/runlog.htm Ran 3 miles Sunday night. Easy run - slowing working up my mileage. This run took me over 150 Miles for the year! Wow, That is 26 hours, 25 minutes, and 14 seconds (1 day, 2 hours) of running for a total of 153 miles since the 2011 Gate River Run. I wonder how many miles I will have by the 2012 Gate River Run?? ]]> Sun, 18 Dec 2011 21:18:00 EST http://personalpages.tds.net/~jimbarbe/runlog.htm#Dec18 http://personalpages.tds.net/~jimbarbe/runlog.htm#Dec18 4 miles Saturday. This time I ran mostly on the grass beside the sidewalk. I think that was much better for my arch. No pain this time. Guess I will have to find softer places to run. The sidewalk concrete is too hard! Oh yeah, had about 500 Sand Spurs on my socks and shoes after the run. Ouch! ]]> Mon, 5 Dec 2011 07:05:00 EST http://personalpages.tds.net/~jimbarbe/runlog.htm#Dec3 http://personalpages.tds.net/~jimbarbe/runlog.htm#Dec3 Nov 29, 2011 - Ran 3 Miles this morning.

Still have a little pain with my right foot's arch, so I am taking it slowly. 9 days till half-marathon.

Since this is the log of pain, if you want to see double blisters, do so at your own risk.]]> Thu, 22 Sep 2011 06:56:00 EST http://personalpages.tds.net/~jimbarbe/runlog.htm#Sep22 http://personalpages.tds.net/~jimbarbe/runlog.htm#Sep22 Sep 20, 2011 - Biked around the neighborhood and played hooky on Power training. I have a small cough after running since I ran the 11 miles last weekend. Do I have exercise-induced asthma??]]> Tue, 20 Sep 2011 19:54:00 EST http://personalpages.tds.net/~jimbarbe/runlog.htm#Sep20 http://personalpages.tds.net/~jimbarbe/runlog.htm#Sep20 Sep 17, 2011 - Ran 11 miles this morning.

We had a female instructor instead that cardio danced our butts off. Very different from what we were use to. Dennis come back!!

I am getting much better! Last March I ran the Gate River Run, 15K (about 9 miles) in 1:50:00 This past week I ran (no walking, no resting, no crying) 10 miles in 1:40:30 (that is 16 minutes faster than my first 10 mile run last week plus it is faster and one mile longer than the Gate River Run!). A sub-10 pace for 10 miles! (Pace: 9:56 ) As you can tell, I am really excited about my progress. The only problem is that I am now on my last belt hole which is all that is holding my pants up now.

Had to stop and kill a large number of horse flies because they kept tring to eat me. The horse flies were attacking me relentlessly. I tried to out run them (doesn't work), found out the only thing that works is to stop running, and start killing. I must find a new place to run because that was ridiculous!
