Today's Run - 6/10

Today's Run - 6/8

Traveling to CT again and staying at my home away from home, the Trumbull Marriott. I ran a familiar route this morning a quick out and back 5.25mile run. The first half is down hill which means the return is up hill. I ran a bit faster this morning, with an average 8.28 pace. The spring and early summer in CT is great for running. It was a little cool as I headed out and no humidity which was a nice change from the muggy weather in VA lately.

Today's Run - 6/5

A nice sunny early summer morning run today although it was a bit humid. I was able to get ~4.5miles in before the heat really started to set in.

Although I had a banana before I left the house I definitely ran out of energy on this run. I should have had an energy bar or something else before I headed out. I will need to start carrying my water belt again as the increased heat is increasing my need to hydrate even on the short and mid distance runs.

Today's Run - 6/3

I was traveling on business and was able to get a quick run in with a colleague before a busy day. It was a good run and nice to have someone to run with.

I forgot my running shoes, so I had to pick up a new pair of Asics 1250s. The store did not have the 9 Width 2E, so I got the standard 9. It is a little tight in the toe box but overall not bad.

Today's Run - 6/2

Did the same route as yesterday, but faster today.   I worked on my Chi Running technique by focusing on my foot alignment and core strength.  I really needed to concentrate on my keeping my abs tight and my foot alignment, but the results were more than 30Secs/mile off yesterdays pace.

Chi Running

I started reading "Chi Running" by Danny Dreyer. The writing is a little dry, but it provides an interesting framework to help you improve your running form in hopes of improving running capabilities and reduce risk of injury.

Today's Run - 6/1

 I can't believe it is June already!  Where has the year gone?  The early summer runs are great because the heat is not to bad, the sun is up early.

I took two spinning classes this weekend and I am feeling a bit sore in my hamstring.   It was tough to get out and run this morning, but I wanted to take advantage of the great weather for a recovery run.
