Happy Monday Y’all!!
WordPress Support Sucks!
… now ya have me resorting to name calling (kinda-ish), lol!!
blogs aren’t being directed to appropriate topics, forums
… that was my search query, and still wasn’t helpful. I don’t see any other method of contacting you directly either. I only want an explanation, please help me understand how traffic is directed towards specific topics?! Thanks guys! And please, pay no attention to my blog-post title … much love, lol! 😉
running thoughts, running musings!
Had two pretty good runs today. Must admit it wasn’t easy, but I persevered. My 4K was sub 18 minutes, which is always a good thing, but as I said, I really had to fight to get it. After walking/light jogging, and nearing my 1 mile run starting point, I said to myself, just run all six fractions evenly/equally (or, at least try to), and see what happens. Normally, for the mile … I start sprinting like a bat outta hell, trying to hang on (lung burning survive I mean, lol) till the very end. I’m thrilled I changed my strategy, I ran the mile … and, I’ll be honest – I felt as if I was jogging (at a quick pace albeit) it … and I STILL only missed my PR by 12 seconds!! One day when I’m feeling stronger, will approach my 1mile run exactly the same way as today, and I know I’ll def PR. I’m still experimenting/learning new/different things with running. And don’t forget y’all, I’m a newbienovice to the game … I’m a greenrunner, lol! 
pic taken between my 4K & 1mile runs
… was a beautiful, breezy, 15° sunny Sunday morning! And nope, ain’t smiling … you can’t make me, lol!
A 21 minute game? No Djokovic!
… in the 5th set of the men’s semi-final, at the US Open! It don’t get any more exciting …
… and WOW, Wawrinka wins the game …
my polite posture WP!
No ranting. No swearing. No emotion.
Just simply curious, why again – in fact the last two posts, aren’t being shown/posted under RUNNING, when I continually categorize/tag my posts properly? And, not only that, but I see other posts in the feed/thread, that really don’t have anything to do with running, but more along the lines of health/nutrition?
I take time, and effort to write my blog – I’m proud of my running stories, my accomplishments, all I ask is that they be displayed along with all the other blogger’s stories/posts with respect to RUNNING … thank you!
Rain Day. Rest Day. No Run Day (gasp)!
My body needs it, and this is one of the ways I give it a break. I’m too stubborn to rest, even for a day … so I have to wait for a rainy morning to make the decision for me. I’m fine with it too, as I said, I need rest. Plus, I’m still on a high from yesterday’s 10K run. I did mention it was the best one, the best run I ever had at any distance … still soaking it in, reliving it … enjoying it!!
dreary day this a.m.
my awesome10K – check out my pace analysis
some day you will find me caught beneath the landslide
in a champagne supernova in the sky
how many special people change
how many lives are living strange
where were you when we were getting high
but you and I we live and die
the world’s still spinning round
we don’t know why
why why why why
Run Like A Kenyan, Drink Like A German!
Running & Beer Drinking! Is there anything better? God, I love you both, lol!
This may be the single best run I’ve had since I boarded TheRunningTrain. Sure, I PRed, but it was much more than that. I felt very strong throughout, even when I finished … normally I feel so winded, completely spent. Not today! I ran the first 5K in 22:57, I brought home the final 5K in 22:14! Are you f’ing kidding me? To put that in perspective; my 5K PR is 22:02. Honestly, I know having my RunKeeper set providing audio cues every minute helped. During that second half, I was determined to keep my pace at 220m per call … and I did. In fact, often covering 230m, even 240m occasionally … and anytime/every time I achieved those distances … I dug deeper, giving it all I had for the following minute, feeding off the accomplishment of my previous minute … you know what I mean? Yep, def has to be my greatest effort to date! Now … where’s my beer?!
10K – 45:12 …
Fast 5K – Faster 5K …
There you are. Well hello, good looking …
6° this morning?!
… on September 6th? Whoa, it’s freezing out!
chipping away at my mile mark!
… have been making incremental progress! I’m happy where I’m at – 6:23 … but now I’d love to lower my time to 6:10 – 6:15 … THEN, I’d REALLY be happy where I’m at, lol!
Today’s effort came on the heels (a mere eight minutes later) of another super-quick, sub 18 minutes 4K, a great run by its own right. So all things considered, another awesome day of running … am chuffed as fuck again!!
my (current, lol) PR – 6:23
FUCK YOU Richard!!
What kinda second-rate douchey company ya running anyways?
What, no follow-up? No concern? Nothing?!
Yep, def BIGÂ EFF YOU!!
A New 1Mile PR!

Solid Sunday Morning 10K!
… steady as she goes Sunday morning 10K?! Only 18 seconds separate my fastest/slowest splits! Was a great run, felt comfortable throughout!
I AM a runner WP!! I run, I run I run!!!!
Grrrrr!!
… screw you … for the 3rd time btw!!
4K PR … + 1mile PR!!
Wow, I amazed myself. Lord knows I needed a great day, my endurance and pace have been suffering lately. And my 4K is tough for me to improve upon, since my old time was fast, but I bettered it by 5 seconds. AND THEN, fifteen minutes later … I surprised myself lowering my mile to 6:31 (an 8 second improvement). I still can’t believe I had enough left in the tank after those grueling, energy sapping four kilometers?! Oh, and am also surprised since it’s very humid (feels like 30°), and the air feels so thick, making breathing difficult. Like I said, wow … chuffed again!
17:21 4K
5 seconds separates all 4 splits
my six & a half minute mile
post record runs & showered … bonus pic, lol
