CG’s Running Blog

So, I start this Blog yesterday and I went running last night.  I did a quick (not really) 2.5 miles.  I finished the Army 10-miler last month and now I’m in training for the Disney Half-Marathon in January.  You may ask yourself….why is he only running 2.5 miles?   Well, that’s because I didn’t train like I should have for the ATM and now I’m going to “do it right” for the Disney race. 

Anyway, more about my run.  I’ve got a great little area to do runs from about 2-5 miles without having to do an “up & back” run.  Also, because I have a wife and 4 year old son, I like to wait until they go to bed before I run.  This means I get the pleasure of running around 10-11PM.  So, last nights run was a typical run except my legs were dead.  I was about half-way through the run and just could feel the pounding.  I knew I could push through and did.  I picked up my pace a little bit and the feeling went away.  Overall, a good run.

 As soon as I figure out how to make a profile/background I’ll tell you more about myself.  In short, I’m the average mid-30’s suburban guy.  Not fit, but wouldn’t say I’m obese (at least until I take my shirt off).

 Finally, my plans for the weekend, which will show my new addiction for all things running….I’ve actually set my alarm to get up and watch the NY Marathon/Olympic Trials live online at 7am…. we’ll see if I hit the snooze or get up and log onto the computer.

…till next time
