The main intent was to wake up early and head out the door, but what can I say? I enjoy sleeping in late. The long runs gradually increase in mileage. My attempts vary from barely being able to do all of it, to doing most of it or just plain skipping it. I didn’t run [...]
Looking out of my car window on a Thursday evening I see the same group again. Most are making their way down the sidewalk to a blue water cooler, and a few are already making their way back towards the mall. One running shop exists in the mall. It’s positioned in the center and stares [...]
Last weekend I woke up, looked at my alarm clock, thought, “I would have been done by now. Oh, well” and promptly went back to sleep. Setting the wake up time and turning on the alarm are two distinct steps. I forgot the later of the two. I’m I getting use to doing them now. [...]
I’ve only slept in one of the three Saturday mornings so far. I’ve been in “maintenance mode” since March where the weekend distance is no different than the weekday. Now, the weekend long distance either doubles or triples from the norm, depending on what the schedule dictates. After doing the longer ones my legs are [...]

Half way into the second loop around the neighborhood last Saturday morning, I think to myself, “I just want to go home.” Things begin to warm up as the sun climbs higher into the sky. People are doing their routes on the opposite side of the road. I think of how it will feel doing [...]
If I head out the door by 6 a.m., I should be finished by 8 a.m. The time required to do laps around the neighborhood grows over the next several months and by September if I leave at the same time, I should be done by 10 a.m.
