Happy Blessed Thanksgiving to You & Yours

Yes it is me wishing everyone a very happy thanksgiving!!

After I ran the 10k last week I did my usual routine, went to the gym and tried to do a relaxing working, such as riding the bike and reading a magazine. I was at it for about 20 minutes bored out of my mind and it was very hot and stuffy in there, so I got it in my head to go out and run again. I was right on route of the mother’s day 10K so I decided to that route I felt wonderful not my usual draggy run after a race but a run with some pep. I was really surprised by this; I did the 10k and came back to the Y and finish with 2 sets of 15 reps on the circuit machines’.




Monday morning I got up and went for a run feeling great again. I am seriously thinking my clouds have lifted, because I was running and feeling great, accept for the scratchiness I felt in my throat I was feeling really good. When I met my friend I said hello in a really high pitched voiced you guessed it the start of a cold!



So I’ve had a really tough week but getting better. I went out day and did a little under 10 miles in about two hours. Some how I believe I have conquered winter running dress because I felt great out there on a very cold and windy day.



Happy running

Boston Buildup Winter Series 10K

Boston Buildup 10K




Today the first race of the Boston Buildup Winter Series took place, weather was good, better than we have come to expect for early January. Huge turn out, there were well over 400 people in attendance.



My goal today was to run 55-56 minutes, this did not happen. I started out too fast which is something I need to stop doing. I have been telling myself this for years, one day I will listen.



The Boston Buildup courses are not to be taken lightly; the 10k course will be the easiest in the series. The courses are known for their hilly terrains, of course to help people prepare for Boston or their selected spring marathons. I welcome the challenge each year.



I ran a pretty steady 8:30-8:40 pace to about mile 3.5 then it all fell apart after that when the hills came into play, more hill training for me will have two weeks to prepare for the next one.

Wow I almost forgot this: something about me



Happy Running
