Am I a Runner?: March 2014
http://metsky.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Am I a Runner? Thoughts from a newly minted, middle-aged runner. Monday, March 3, 2014. A few standout memories:. Finishing my first 10 mile run just past the BU bridge, the feeling of elation at reaching an ambitious goal and making me feel like anything was possible. Post snowstorm night time run though deep drifts by the Anderson footbridge wearing every light I owned. Watching the sun rise while racing the crew boats at the Elliot bridge.

Am I a Runner? Thoughts from a newly minted, middle-aged runner. Sunday, September 23, 2012. First run of Autumn. Garmin Track of the run. Ignore the elevation numbers, at one point it had us at 184 feet below sea level. Wednesday, September 19, 2012. Oh, so that's what improvement feels like. I should be faster then just pull away and I never see them again, but such is life. By the folks getting water, crossed the bridge, and entered the home stretch. Garmin Track of the race.

Am I a Runner?: May 2013
http://metsky.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Am I a Runner? Thoughts from a newly minted, middle-aged runner. Tuesday, May 28, 2013. Pinelands 50K trip report - 5/26/2013. Why yes, there was. The end of the first yurt loop. And The Long and Winding Road. As the loop took us past the start/finish area I saw the hoard of 25K runners starting their run. My main goal at this point was to avoid being passed by any of them. Looking at the finish times I think I mostly accomplished that goal. The loneliness of the long distance runner. The best crew ever.

Am I a Runner?: July 2012
http://metsky.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Am I a Runner? Thoughts from a newly minted, middle-aged runner. Monday, July 30, 2012. Racing in a Sauna. Monday, July 23, 2012. One's cross (training) to bear. The only other thing I would consider adding is swimming with the hopes of a triathlon in my future. The logistics are hard to figure out so I'm just putting that on hold for now. I wonder if watching the Tour de France and the Olympics on TV counts for cross training? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Little Out There. Somerville, MA, United States.

Am I a Runner? Thoughts from a newly minted, middle-aged runner. Wednesday, January 22, 2014. Nope, just not worth it. And it wasn't what I was looking for tonight. In my training log it's listed as 3.7 miles at a fairly slow pace. In my memory it's a winter wonderland. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Little Out There. A Glimpse Inside the Head of a Mountain Man.
