Thurs-Fri-Sat-Sun ?

Living out of a motel in Nashville for a few days... ate at Morton's last night. Not doing a whole lot for my running!

Tuesday

Ran early this morning. 6.2 miles, the first 5k at 9:00 pace and the second 5k at 7:45 pace. Nice and warm outside. Went to the pool afterwards.

Probably swim at lunch, then lift tonight. Rick is in Athens until tomorrow visiting his GF. I was planning to run tonight, but it looks like bad weather is moving into the area.

Saturday

I'd planned on running 13 miles this morning but felt pretty good, so I just kept going and ended up with 14.2 miles @9:00 avg pace. It was a little warm and I went through all 70 ounces of half water/half gatorade from my Camelbak, but when I weighed myself afterwards I was exactly the same weight as when I left.

I left the 11th Street Riverwalk starting point and ran about a mile before a group run overtook me, and I ran with them for about a mile until they turned around. Kept going south toward Fort Benning. I passed Rotary Park (2 mile point), went over the concrete bridge (3 miles), past the water park (4 miles), past the Water Works (5.2 miles), through the woods alongside the big open area (6 miles), and made it to the golf course before my Garmin beeped 7 miles and I turned around.

There were tons of runners, walkers and cyclists on the Riverwalk today. Lots of people I recognized. One of the coolest aspects of going to the Riverwalk on a Saturday morning is that you'll see a lot of people.

So I've been lifting weights with my son at the YMCA each nighgt for the past 5 weeks, and I've actually gained weight. I'm to 180 now and I started out this month at 174. Feels pretty good!

Thursday

5 miles on the North Riverwalk at lunch. Weight training in the evening with my son.

Friday-Saturday-Sun looks like 8-13-7, but we'll see. I was derailed by the weather once and by my alarm clock once; I'm sure by Sunday morning I'll regret giving myself an 8 miler on Father's Day.

Wednesday

Will run hills today at lunch, then lift tonight.

I've posted a couple of new links. One is to Stephanie's journal. She's just starting out running, doing the couch to marathon program. Please check out her blog and give her some encouragement. The other link is to Trey's blog. He's running in Valley-Lanett area during the days, actually in about the same places I used to run when I worked in West Point. He's getting ready to run the Country's Midnight Express run. Check his entries out as well.
