Get ready to run!!

Well, I signed up for 2 races this past week. One will be on May 1st, my birthday. This one is a 10K run here in Bend. The other race is my first half marathon in June.
So, I will be training for both in the coming weeks.
I have been running pretty regularly in the past week. And adding some speed work as well.
I'm pretty excited about these races! I've ran the 10k run before a couple years ago and it's a hard one. A third of is a pretty good hill that about killed me. So I will be ready this time!! The half will be on a familiar path, it's the same one I ran the marathon on last year, but this time I only need to run one lap.
Till next time! Happy running!

Wicked Wind Run 3/11

Well, its been a week since I last posted a blog. It's been a good week of running, got 34 miles in last week and 16 in so far this week. I had to fast last night for some blood work this morning for new life insurance policy, but still felt good running today.
Watched a show last night that said it's better to run later in the day, because your blood is thicker in the morning and could cause your blood pressure to go up. So, I'm going to try and run later in the day for awhile to see if my blood pressure goes down, It's not bad, but I thought it should be lower for the amount of running I do. We'll see.

Had a good run this morning of 4 miles. I ran 7.1 miles yesterday. I have a little head cold, but doesn't seem to bother me much while I'm running, in fact I feel better just after running. Going hike at Shevlin Park this afternoon, its about a 5 mile hike along Tumalo Creek. The weather today and tomorrow is suppose to be awesome. Clear skies and highs in the upper 50's!!

18th day in a row of running! 2nd day of running with my new shoes, I always try to run a few low mile days with them before getting some long miles in. Ran in Shevlin Park yesterday for the first time. Was pretty cool, weather wise, but a good run. Ran on the road up hill and on the trail coming back. Will be back there again soon. I should take a rest day soon, so I don't get hurt or something, but feeling good.

Had to run today to get my fix. Ran for 20 minutes, 2.43 miles. My 14th day straight of running. It's getting harder not to run, than it is to run. I've only not run 2 days so far this year, if I keep this up, I will have no problem getting to 300 days of running this year. One of my goals.

Had a good run today. Ran the from home to the Larkspur trail to Pilot Butte and back. 7.01 miles, 1 hour and 02 second. Beautiful day too, weather was in the upper 40's and partly cloudy with light winds. Might take a rest day tomorrow, but we'll see. The weather is so nice, it's hard to take arest day.
