2009 First Dam Run - 41:37 Long-Term Running Goals: 1. Enjoy running 'til I drop dead - and put that off as long as possible.
2. Don't get burn out :-) Personal:
I herniated/ruptured a disk (L4/L5) in my back in December, 2005. I told my orthopedic surgeon I wanted to start running. He said "You'll never run again.". What a challenge! So...I started running.
Since then I've lost about 50 pounds, ran 13 marathons and a number of other races.
I am still a clydesdale runner (over 200 lbs), have a large frame, big bones, and not built like a runner at all. I'm not fast. I mostly run to have some time to myself and keep in shape.

First run on new shoes. My old shoes (Brooks Adrenaline 11) only had 345 miles. However, the right side of my right shoe was wearing away quite quickly. I mostly forefoot run, and I think the pain in my right foot was from the wearing of the shoes.
My left knee (under the top of the kneecap) has been hurting because I've been running a little different to compensate for my right foot hurting. Also, I've been running on the side of roads with a chamfer/slope to the outside of the road.
The run went well, with not too much foot pain, 7:37/mile. After the run, the pain became quite bad. I'll take a few days off and see how it goes.

20 miles from Smithfield to Hyde Park, back up to Smithfield and Smifield Canyon.
Really did well at the first. I went out too fast. Miles 1-4 lost 300 feet in elevation to Hyde Park, averaging aroud 6:50/mile. Then went north up Smithfield Canyon, gaining 800+ feet for the next six miles. Turned around and went back. At 17 miles the Garmin was at 7:25/mile. The last 3 slowed way down - (gaining the 300 ft in elevation I lost at the first of the run), and ended up with a 7:39/mile average.
We'll see how Boston goes. Got my bib # yesterday (3089). I may just run it as a fun run...we'll see how my left knee and the outside of my right foot holds out. |

11.3 miles on a treadmill at the Sports Academy. I thought I'd do the treadmill to absorb some of the shock on my left knee and right foot. It went well. 7:08/mile average.
Three more weeks until Boston. I'll keep the miles up a little more this week. This comming Saturday I'll do a slow, easy run to try to get my legs a little more used to running more time, and then taper... |
