Brother, that’s some determination – streak day 12 #twit2fit

Normally, I don’t like comments from people as I run by them while I’m running the neighborhoods, but that’s usually because of the “Run, Forrest, Run” style comments.  It’s probably part of the reason that I like running at 6:30 am.  Well, today was different.  A guy who was outside said, “Brother, that’s some determination,” as I passed by.  It seems to be fitting for the challenges I’m working through.  I guess that’s what I appreciate–it’s a respect for what I’m trying to do.

Is it a miraculous feat?  No.

Is it newsworthy?  No.

It is something, however, that would be a lot easier for me to not do.

3.56 miles in 34:41.75 for 9′45″/mi.

  • Progressive Long Run (16 miles) while watching the game #twit2fit #running One of the things that's great about football season is that you can easily do a long run on the treadmill while watching the game.  I did mine today at home on my Sole F80 at a 1% incline (watching the UofL-UK game). I've been doing my long runs at......
  • Ran for the first time. 2.16 mi in 18:18 #twit2fit I intended to go outside to walk 2 miles, despite my back being pretty tight still.  Leaving the gym, I had to decide whether I wanted to bring my iPod Classic (arm band) and phone with me (no pockets).  Doing so would have guaranteed that I wouldn't have run.  However,......

  • No excuses, legs! Quick two miler #twit2fit Sunny, slightly breezy, and 71° F.  Seems like a horrible crime to do only 2 miles.  If not for the 5k tomorrow morning, I could have went out for at least 10. I went out and tested my legs in my Mizuno Wave Rider 11s.  I've been holding back the......
