Florida is jacked up.

I ran last night with tights, pants,long sleeve & jacket the temps in the high 30's and the night before it was in the low 60's & I ran in a t-shirt & shorts. In a 24 hrs period there was this much discrepancy.

Either way 60's are nice To run in.

Listened to kLaNk's broken. Made think of being broken. Will write more on this when I have time.

all the Christmas lights

I ran very late Sunday night. It was actually really early Monday morning at midnight. It was also cold, but my marathon training can't wait.

I like running at night in general but especially during this season because of all the xmas lights. I'm a child like that. Bright lights fascinate & distract me.

It was another cold run. Maybe in the 40's. Only 2 miles but it was late and cold. I know these two milers will soon give way to 3.5 miles which will give way to 5 milers and soon I'll be running 50 miles a week. That's probably for 2012. I will hit 1000 miles in 2011 though. Maybe more. 2011 is the year of resurrected running goals and being able to attain them.

What are your running goals this year?

my little runner

I have 3 boys the oldest of which is 6 and in kindergarten. Today they had their 1 mile challenge. When he came home today he was wearing a bracelet that said, 'New Berlin Elementary Mile Run Club'. He was one of two kids in his class to run the mile. He ran it in 12:30. Not bad. So my 6 yro has his first PR!

Around the 'hood in 4 miles

Started last night's run in the upper 40's with Prong's Rude Awakening to get the blood pumping. This temp is much more manageable than running with a wind chill of 27 or whatever it was Monday night. If you run 2 loops around my 'hood you get 4 miles. I don't know what my time was... this is not something I spend much TimE worrying about. that is odd for a runner. Most of us live and die by the numbers. I do,but only one number... the distance one. I set goals for myself for the year and know what it takes to reach the goal on a weekly basis ad then go for that. However, with my new challenge of running a marathon I have decided to run several races to get me in race-ready mode. With the running of races comes the need to be aware of my times. Most likely starting in the first of the year I will start timing myself again. Tracking not just distance but time too.

I hope that we can challenge forward in our running goals. Will you help challenge me?

Yes, it gets cold in Florida

I have lived most of my adult life in Florida. Remember that as you read this account. 35 degrees + 16 mph wind = 27 degree wind chill. That's cold. Granted I only ran 2 miles, but it was cold. It wasn't the cold as much as it was the wind. Once the wind died down it was bearable. Got any good cold weather run stories?

The Challenge has been set

As I mentioned previously, I was looking for a marathon to run in approx. one year. I have decided on the Walt Disney World marathon on 2012. Anybody wanna run with me?

I like to run

Here is a new blog set up to chronicle my exploits as I run and train for a marathon. Yeah, you heard it right. I plan to run a marathon 12 months from now. I will spend the next 12 months training and planning for this epic event. Join me on my journey that is no doubt going to be an epic adventure.
