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.

  • Streak day 20! #twit2fit Was a little dehydrated and had allergy issues this morning.  Oh, and scratchy technical shirt, 4.3 miles, an extra 10 pounds, and no band-aids is a bad mix.  Throbbing headache and little stinging sensations. 4.3 miles in 0:41:02, for 09:33/mile pace 4x15 sec strides (up to sub-6 pace) at around......
  • 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......

I can......
