FIRST RUN SINCE DISNEY

WELKL I WENT OUT TODAY AND RAN FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE 1/2 ON JAN 6TH. IT FELT PRETTY GOOD. I DID AROUND 6 MILES. NOT SURE EXACTLY SINCE I FORGOT TO KEEP COUNTING WHILE RUNNING. I WAS GOING TO SWIM A LITTLE AFTER THAT BUT I FELT A LITTLE TIGHT BY THEN SO I WENT HOME INSTEAD. NOTHING ELSE NEW FOR NOW. KEN

TIME OFF

OK I TOOK SOME TIME WAWAY FROM RUNNIGN FOR A WHILE BUT I HOPE TO START RUNNING AGAIN. LAST WEEK I WENT TO A LOCAL GYM AND RAN A LITTLE BUT MOSTLY WALKED WITH A FRIEND THEN I WENT AND TRIED SWIMMING. THE GOOD THING IS I DIDNT DROWN SO I'M GOING TO TRY IT AGAIN THIS WEEKEND. I PLAN ON RUNNING THE ST LOUIS HALF MARATHON IN APRIL.

IT'S OVER

WELL WE DID IT. WE HAD THE DISNEY MARATHON THIS PAST WEEKEND. IT WAS A VERY HOT WEEKEND. MUCH HOTTER THAN WHAT WE ARE USED TO HERE IN ST LOUIS. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT I FINISHED. MY TIME WAS RIGHT AROUND 3:13.01. NOT TOO BAD CONSIDERING THAT THE FRIEND I RAN WITH HAS A KNEE THATS BEEN BOTHERING HER AND ALSO SICK IN BED THE ENTIRE DAY B4. WE FINISHED AHEAD OF THE SWEEPER. SO THATS ALL THAT MATTETRED.

Well it's been a while since my last post. I haven't been just lounging around the house since January. I didn't run for a while in january and February and then started running a little in March. In April I did start training again. For what, nothing right now. But i plan on running Disney again in 2007. And I'm also helping a friend start running. Well I'm going to end there for now but i will start writing more often again.

1/7/06

I went out this morning and ran 4 miles. This is the farthest I have run in a few months. The first 3 werent too bad but it did take me some time to run the last mile. It will take me some time but I will be ready for the STLC 1/2 marathon and the St. Louis 1/2 in March and April.

1ST RUN

Well I went out for my 1st run of the New Year this afternoon. It started out a little slow but I realized it was because I went out too fast. If that makes any sense. I figured out I wasnt going to be able to make it all 3 miles if I didnt slow my pace down. Not that im very fast anyway. I wont be timing myself for a while. I just need to get back into running first then after about 1 1/2 months I will time myself to see where I will be with my times. Im going to get some running in a few days this week and on Saturday Im going to go out and meet some runners from the Christian runners and Walkers Club here in St. Louis.

START

Well OK this is my first shot at blogging. a newbie blogger. Im not sure what I will have to say on here. But i will share some of my running misadventures. And whatever else comes to mind as the year goes by. Go ahead and leave all of your comments for me. good or bad.

NEW YEAR

Well the New Year is starting all over again. It seems like it does this every year at this same time. With the New Year everyone wants to start making resolutions. Ones that they know they wont keep. So I wont be doing that. Instead Im just going to start fresh and see what I can do with the New Year.

I haverun a few times here and there since I last ran my marathon way beack in april of 05. Which by the way was my 2nd one. My first one was with TNT in January of 2000. Finished somewhere around 6:30. The 2nd one was here in St. Louis and i finished in around in 5:32. Well here goes my adventure. Love to hear from you. KEN
