Blue Collar.
Running keeps me sane. Running is my passion. Besides astrophysics. Oh, and reading.

Texas based, so I gotta run in all kinds of weather.

I am currently training for the Irving Marathon in March.

I also signed up for the Love on the Run Valentines half marathon and the Fiesta de Mayo half marathon in May.

Told myself that if I compete in all the Irving events this year, I'll sign up for an ultra next year.
Been a minute, but I finally felt up to getting to the gym and then went on a 3 mile run afterward.

Tried my best. DNFd at the end. We were out in direct sunlight, and I let myself get dehydrated (I was taking in fluids and electrolytes and just couldn't get back up to speed. I got blisters on both feet 6 miles in, and then ran out of energy around mile 9.

So I finally got a Garmin and I'm not sure what to think. The learning curve on this is a little crazy

Solid tempo run this morning.

Felt good after a 5 day break.

I am taking my 5 day runs to 4 days to give myself extra rest.
Also, nobody told me sleeping good would help me run better!

C.O.L.D. 5 mile easy run.
Watch was saying 185 HR at a brisk walk.

And after the last long run that it cut short, I've had enough.

Needless to say, I think it's finally time to graduate to a Garmin.

Love on the Run half marathon finished! And set a new PR.

It was a ton of fun! Next up will be my marathon in March!

16-mile long run. Two strava posts because my damn watch activity tracker just stopped around mile 12.

That kinda sucked and I didn't account for the extra time, so I didn't pack enough food. But we got the mileage in.

Irving Valentines half is on 6 days away!!

5 mile run with a 3 mile tempo session in the middle.

I'm definitely feeling the soreness from my Monday morning fun run.

Took about a week off from running to deal with some stuff. Today was first back at it.

Was supposed to be 5 mile easy run, but I got excited and sped through it.

Got out there a little too late, and my light died on me, so I figured I'd cut it short and head home.

It was supposed to be 4.5 miles but only got 1.5 today. I'll make it up tomorrow.

Crushed a half-marathon today.
It was supposed to be 12 miles, but my legs were feeling good, so I pushed through.

No pain, got my form and breathing under control.

I just might make it through my races.

Got to watch the sun rise this morning.

Really took my time and wandered around on my run.

Felt so nice not being in a hurry for once.

6 mile easy run done.

Currently, I'm using Saucony glide 16s, and I'm already thinking about what my next shoe is gonna be. I'm one of those. I can not use foam outer soles.

Any recommendations for daily trainers?

I mainly stay on asphalt, and I'm crunching about 30-40mpw.

Chilly this morning but knocked out a solid 5 miler.

Also, I fell due to one of those traction strips on the sidewalk. Those things are dangerous.
