Friday Week 1

Scheduled for three, ran three.  Cool, hat / mittens, long pants.  Amazingly slow and I’ve been a little sore. 

Thursday 5

These short starter miles let me sleep in and start late.  Enjoying it while it lasts.

 

5 miles @ 9:19 pace.  I’m very slow these days.

3 with Eric

Met up with Eric this morning.  Good to see him again.  Nice three miles. Chilly out.

Slow Build

Plan is to build the mileage slowly through February and then train for a May marathon.

 

5 miles  @ 9:10 pace.  30 degrees or so outside. Wore long pants.

Back from Vacation

Disappeared into the world of amateur (ham) radio for a week and a half.  No running – just radio waves.  Made several antennas and talked around the world.  Lots of fun and seemed to clear out the head a bit.

 

Started off the work week right with a small jog this morning – 3 miles @ 8:22 pace.  Nice and cool – and dark.  Will build slowly from here.

Dark three

Out in the dark today to get some blood flowing.  It’s wood chopping time so while the miles are few, I’m getting in a different type of workout.  Probably a quarter way through.  Vacation is coming up so I hope to finish it during my week off.

3.4

Another easy 30 minutes this morning.  Wondering if I have a small case of PF in the right foot.  Perhaps I will soak it this weekend.

Slow Ten

Did an easy ten miles this morning.  The wind was cool and even though the temperature was a little above 50 it felt colder.  Felt ok, but the right foot hurt a little on the very bottom.

 

Met up with Eric for about 5 minutes.  Good to see him.

3.3

Finally got back out this morning for 30 easy minutes.  ~ 3.3 miles.  Wet but not raining.

 

Also getting back on ham radio.  Made a nice contact with KP2XX in St. Thomas yesterday on 14.199 mhz.  Reading the ARRL Antenna Handbook and thinking about crisscrossing the yard with wire.

 

Lack of internet has made me lose touch with Mike.  Just found out he’s running PEI with Trevor.  They will enjoy that course.  No Sunday gatherings again until mid-November.
