It's Derby Day in KY, also known as the first day when it's safe to plant your tomatoes. But for me, it's now remembered as the day when I ran my one and only sub-7 minute mile in the middle of a...
Wish I'd gotten a picture...
A few years ago I pestered my church to put in a bike rack, and it's gotten a decent amount of use. Mostly during the week, with folks coming to AA meetings or art...
You're doing great, Oak! hang in there...
My race Saturday was tough. I'm used to running exclusively on pavement, so a cross-country is out of my comfort zone. And the pollen was fierce: by 3k...
I've run every day of April, so far, despite the pollen count. Outside in shorts, even! Yesterday was only 1.5 miles, as the pollen was especially bad on that route. Now I remember why I don't run...
Moses usually greets me at the door, and he'll follow visitors around the house, growling. Very dog-like. And Joe has taken to hissing at the mailman lately.
Looks like a treadmill week-- 3 miles yesterday (it was 22F) 3 miles today (heavy snow falling); tomorrow's going to be frigid, so treadmill again. Sigh. At least on the treadmill I'm not planning...
Ditto, Catrin. A dusting of snow this time of year is not that unusual, but this is more than a dusting. And we're headed down to 15F tonight. GRRRRR. The good news is that the pollen count is...
Well, the race wasn't fast but it's done. With how little I've been running and the rising pollen count I set a modest goal averaging a sub-9 min mile, and did. Barely. It was a very small field...
Yesterday I ran a route I rarely use, due to the hellacious 1st mile. Mostly uphill to one degree or another, with a short steep downhill thrown in for variety. The reward is that the 2nd mile is a...
I haven't managed to run since Saturday-- but that was March! It was a busy day and I'd overslept, so I only got in 5 miles, outside on a beautiful morning. Sunday it was raining, Monday snowing,...
We got lucky-- more sleet than freezing rain. It's still snowing, though. Seems like everything is closed or on a delay, even Transylvania U. Small, mostly residential college, and they never close...
Well, we're still predicted to get hammered. Heavy rain this morning, and the ice is supposed to start in less than 2 hrs, followed by snow. We'll see how bad it gets. I have plenty of milk and cat...
Congratulations, Pax!
It was back to the treadmill this morning; I was running late so just went 5k. Ms Overstride was back this morning too. I took off my glasses so I couldn't see as well, but she'd be a good person...
It's such a relief to be able to run outside! Don't miss the treadmill at all. Today was urban speed work-- sprinting to stoplights in the hope of hitting them while still green. And I also...
Back to the treadmill yet again. It was plenty warm (50F) and all the snow and ice has melted, but the wind's howling. It would have built character to run outside in that, but that's not on the...
It's more than a bit sad that there's been no word from the governor or the AG (both democrats) on if the state will appeal. While the governor is in his final term and swears he's never running for...
And today Kentucky joined the party, partially! A fed judge has said that the state has to recognize all marriages legally performed in other places. The state doesn't have to allow same-sex...
Way to go, Catrin! No fluke at all!
I've run 2 days in a row! 1.5 miles yesterday (doing strength training first was really dumb) and 3 miles today. It's a start. And the snow and ice ought to be melting over the next week, so I'll...
Freezing rain is absolutely the worst-- in the early 2000s we had a storm that caused massive power outages. I was out for 7.5 days (you remember these things!). Then there was one a few years...
Finally ran today! It was just 2 miles on the treadmill and the stitch was a sign that it had been a while. Gotta start somewhere. Then I hit the weights. Not a bad morning!
Now, if folks...
A sure sign of my neighborhood's ongoing hipsterfication: while standing in line at the neighborhood hip donut shop getting dragged in to a heated discussion of which of the 3 very local...
I logged all of 32 miles for January-- EEK! Damn glad I'm not doing a long race this spring. This has been the most severe winter since I've been running. While I have barely run, I have been...
The forecasts for the snow that came over night were all over the place, 1"-10". Looks like we've ended up in the middle of the range, somewhere around 4 or 5. But this is the kind of winter...
