Dreary rainy day here today. I wasn’t totally into it but I managed to eek out a 5K. I went easy on the pace because I believe it is was from running on the treadmill that I strained my ankle. It’s so tempting to keep setting the speed faster and faster.

So went for my first run in almost two weeks. I have been getting over a chest cold so was taking it easy. I’ve been thinking about trying to get out a little sooner than today but weather has gotten in the way(I didn’t think running in the rain was a good idea when I was [...]

Decided to get the ole bike out this morning. I have done the stationary bike off and on the last few months but haven’t riden on the road in almost 1 year.  I have been recovering from a chest cold so I haven’t been running in about a week.  Since I’m feeling better and biking [...]

My ankle is feeling better this week so went for a 5K run. My ankle was a little warm after but good. Was happy with my pace - steady, not too fast, and had energy at the end to give a little boost. I have a very hard time pacing myself and usually start [...]

Did you know that liars make better atheletes? Let me qualify. People who are able to lie or deceive themselves usually perform better. A psycologist did a study with swimmers at Colgate University where they gave a group of college swimmers a questionaire designed to measure self-deception at the beginning of the swim [...]
