• Tempo run 8.04 miles in 65 minutes (8'06" pace) I run my tempo and intervals on the treadmill (especially as opposed to running in th dark during rush hour). It's not optimal for training I guess, but I'd rather run the treadmill than miss another tempo or interval week. Mile point - speed (pace) 1% incline 0 - 6.2......
• Is it a bad sign to see vultures circling on your run? Image by TexasEagle via Flickr I saw 5-6 turkey vultures today on my run at mile 5 1/2 [on Broad Run Road]. Before I realized that were swooping down on your garden variety roadkill, the sight of them evoked some disturbing [in a funny way] thoughts. Of course, then,......
• 32,770 lb machine workout I dropped the tricep extension and crunch machine because of the potential back strain involved with both.  I'm doing much better now.  I'm starting to think any form of crunches are too dangerous to the back to bother messing with.  I'll have to do the alternative ab exercises in the......

• Running streak? Day 2. #twit2fit 2.5 miles in 24'15". Ok, so I've been cleared to run, but last vacation last week brought about a number of factors that made it hard to actually do so.  It really pained me to be at the beach (Gulf Shores) and not be able to run from Gulf Shores......
• Do not try this at home. I was aiming for 16 miles today, and planned to get moving as close to 5:30 as possible. Instead, I intentionally disabled my 5:30 alarm at 5:15 and then woke up just before my 6:30 alarm. I ate one of those Little Debbie Brownie things for pre-run fuel. Awful nutrition,......
