Schedule for this week and then some catchup on my runs from last week and this week:

Wednesday- 5 Mile slow or Rest
Thursday- 4-5M Relaxed
Friday- Rest

This run and the next were actually one run, that got cut short when I pressed th wrong button! It was a 2 M jog, 4 Mile steady, 2M Jog.



Run with Iverson to the Monument before getting on a bus and heading to PA for a dril show.... what a dehydrated day!


Long run with Tandy and Mullins from Barracks to just past Reagan National Airport. Check out the steady pace!!! I received some awesome running gear as a birthday gift from the Hingles. Lesson learned: wash the red shirt before you run with it! my new moisture wicking socks have a pink tint to them. Scared me at first, I thought I was bleeding!!


Treadmill sprints. Im starting to notice that the graphs dont reflect rapid changed in pace very well. This graph should have alot more dips as I was going back and forth from slow to fast 8 times. 'll figure it out, but I think it only uses certain points in the mile to use as graph points.

Treadmill sprints

Pulled myself off the couch on my day off (and a nasty cloudy day too) and went to the barracks to run. Did some good sprints at alternating intervals after a mile jog (1200 m, 800m, 400m, 800m, then 1200m with 400 m recoveried) (400m = .25 mile)and ended with a mile jog. Now off to quizzo!

Running in Canada, eh!

Run on Wednesday to the Washington Monument and back with Tandy, ended up having to use the bathroom near the monument and had to extend the run to th WWII monument where public bathrooms are!



2 Miles slow, 2 Miles fast, 2 miles slow on a treadmill on thursday



Was supposed to run with Baker from work before heading to Canada, but he didnt show so I just hit my slow 5 miles on the treadmill. It was a beautiful day though, I should have taken it outside.



This was a great run in Kingston with Sorbie and Mullins. Started at the Barracks and ran to Kingston and along the waterfront of the city. Saw some great old houses and beautiful scenery. I look forward to the next time I travel there and doing the run again, possibly for a longer distance.

Catch Up Again

Ran with Tandy from the barracks to the Washington Monument on Saturday before heading out to Pasadena. Schedule was too hectic and I was too exhausted after the trip to do my long run on Sunday.

This little jaunt pushed me up over 100 miles (actually I was over before but due to the iPod shorting out on my big run it didnt get counted) look what Nike sent me!


Nice tempo run today, had a nice fast speed for the sprints!

A Little Behind in the posts!

This week's schedule (almost finished)

Monday - Rest
Tuesday - 1 M Jog then 3x4 800m with 2 min recoveries, 1 M jog (Iwo Performance)
Wednesday - 5 M slow (will be in Mentor, OH)

*Thursday probably isn't going to happen, jet lagged from travel back from Mentor and the weather outside is horrible. Jess and I have dinner plans so I probably wont go after that either.


This run happened on a treadmill at the hotel in Mentor. It was supposed to be 5 miles however at mile 4 I had to go to the bathroom and it wasnt gonna settle for waiting another mile! Nice good speed though.


This run was at the annex on a treadmill, got some good sprinting in.

This Sunday run was supposed to be a 10k/6.24 Miles, however as would happen later on in the week.... duty called. Dang Jambalaya I had the night before!

This was supposed to be a slow run, but i couldn't help myself. I also made a personal best on the 1 Mile!

Good end to three days of running

After a two hour drill block on an astroturf field in Washington DC heat..... I hydrated and then went inside to hit the treadmill!

Did a 6 M fartlek (swedish for speedplay) and added another quarter mile to take it to 10k distance.

When I was done running, a nice voice came over the speakers and told me I had set a personal record for my mile! Yeah! Of course I did have treads forcing me to run at a certain speed. I can't wait till it cools down some and I can get back outside again on the weekdays.

I've joined a few challenges online and will have them up soon. One I made for the districts in dc, most miles in one month. One for the D&B, one for armed services, and a few other fun ones.
