Another Saturday Evening Long Run

Distance: 7.69 mi, Time: 1:25:07, Pace: 11:04/mi — Hudsonville - Long Easy Run

It was another Saturday that required a schedule adjustment to run in the evening instead of the early morning. It’s definitely not my favorite time to run, and I almost made the choice to skip it, but I managed to get myself ready and out the door.

Given how late it was, the long day behind me, and knowing that my shoulder problems would probably give me problems the longer I ran, I opted not to do the optional 20 minute extra run interval. It’s interesting to experience how something like an issue with a shoulder can affect a run. Some might wonder what a shoulder has to do with running. Isn’t all about your legs? If you’ve deviled into running form then you’d know that there is much more to running than just your legs.

    An “Easy” 5 Mile Recovery Training Run

    Decided to hit some of what used to be a pretty regular route for me. I still tweaked it a bit though. Today was supposed to be an “easy” run but it was more of a “comfortable” run for me, basically if I was comfortable running a sub-8 minutes per mile then that is what…

    10 More Miles And 2 Years Ago

    It was great weather for a 10 miles run this morning. As I finished things up I was reminded that just 2 years ago I was blessed to be hanging out with a bunch of children in Sierra Leone. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon #RiverBankRun I had hoped to return there last year but things didn’t…
