I need to build my base mileage back up so I went out for today’s run with a different goal. I planned to run for an hour and worry less about the mileage I’m covering. I think this will be a better way for me to work on a solid pace and as I run [...]

I didn’t expect it to be so hot out today. I just got in from my run but I’ve got some major burning from my sweat-drenched shirt rubbing against my nipples. It’s one of those things that happens bad enough only once and you’ll always wear bandaids from there on. I was lazy today but [...]

After the math exam this morning, I decided to take some time to myself and go for a long run. It marked my first in over a month and the first since I’ve been living in Philadelphia. I set out the front door and decided to try and make it a 5-mile out-and-back for a [...]

Even though it’s really hot out this afternoon, I went for a loop around the trail. I did the same path as last time as I was feeling like more than 4 but not as much as 7. I stopped a couple times for water and to cool down because I was pushing the pace [...]

I managed a 4.5-mile loop this afternoon in pretty much the heat of the day. It was probably upper 80s with humidity making it feel like mid-90s. I really had no pain, not even at the start. I did have some tenderness on the inside of my legs but I know now that this is [...]

I had some business to attend to this evening so I could only make it for a 4-mile loop. Instead of the usual tightness in my heels and the underside of my right foot, I was having some tenderness on the interior of my legs similar to shin pain. With the rest of my leg [...]

I haven’t done a double 4-mile loop in a long, long time. It’s about time I did one and I was on a high today after the first loop so I went for another. I bought new headphones for the iPod this weekend since the old ones were crapping out. My new model, the Sony [...]

I went for the same route as yesterday though today it was much hotter. Yesterday it was sprinkling rain just a bit and the temperature was a good 10 degrees cooler. Today it was just hot and steamy.
The usual pain in my heels wasn’t there this time at the start of the run. The underside [...]

With my Montrails back, I was ready to get back on the trail and see how they felt. I’ve definitely become more accustomed to a more bulky, heavier shoe. The run started out with tightness in the usual areas but it was rather quick to dissipate. I think the time off recently has actually let [...]

Originally I planned to do a 7 mile loop early this evening but I haven’t run in over 2 weeks and that just wasn’t realistic. I managed to pull out about 4 miles but I was getting overheated so I stopped and walked the rest in. It really wasn’t that hot, but I think I [...]
