Walking Feels Good

I’ve been sore since the hill workout on Tuesday. It’s a really “good” sore when you know you’ve pushed your muscles just enough. It actually feels kinda good. Tonight I did an hour walk. It felt great and my muscles feel more […]

Hills, Hills, Hills

Instead of our typical midweek mileage, we did hills today. There are not a lot of hills in Central Ohio, so we have to work hard just to find one for hill training. But by Griggs Reservoir, if you head toward the […]

What a Difference…

The members of the Buckeye Striders entered in half marathons this Spring met 45 min earlier than the rest of the members to fit in our extra miles. (We needed 7 today.) Deb set the pace, which was pretty quick. We walked […]

Keeping Training on Track

Today Deb and I met for our 3-mile training walk. The Scioto River seemed a little small after walking beside the Mississippi River for three days. Still the sun was shining, temps were in the mid-50s and it was a beautiful day. […]

4-Miles Under the St. Louis Arch!

I am in St. Louis for a few days for business meetings. Usually when I’m traveling for this job, it is a full day of meetings with maybe a 1-hour break in the middle. (Working lunches.) Today, for some odd reason, I […]

Early Morning Saturday

I don’t like to get up in the morning. In fact, I’m fond of saying, “If I have to get up THAT early, there better be Class-V rapids involved.” (I love white water rafting!) That being said, when training for a long-distance […]
