I registered for the Lakefront marathon this morning. I could have gone to NY for the Wineglass marathon to meet the Cardiac Athletes, or stayed home and ran the Brooksie half right here in Roch. Hls. but I rather see my family and new baby or 2. Time to train.

Autism Run

The web site said the race started at 8 so I went early to pass out flyers for the MSO 5k in July and volunteer a little. Then Disco and I would go for a run. Well, registration started at 8 so we worked and then put flyers on cars and then ran the course thru OU which features a mile long uphill. After 2 loops I was thrashed and finished with 5 1/4 miles.

Paint Creek

I ran 6 miles this morning before weighing in for the weight loss challenge because I lost a pound early in the week and Wednesday evening had coney dogs and gained 3 pounds. So I sweated off 5 pounds of water to get to 190 and a net 3 pound loss.

Paint Creek

It was 66 when I checked after breakfast, but after doing required chores it had rained a couple times and dropped to 58. I put a windshirt on and drove to the parking lot on Tienken. The first thing I see is trash and a computer monitor dumped there by some pig. I love the trail, so seeing it used as a dump is infuriating. I ran into the wind and came back with a decent clip,6 miles total.

Paint Creek

Ran 6 on the trail. Ran better and felt good. I'm increasing mileage and thinking about running the Dexter Ann Arbor 1/2 marathon May 30. We'll see.

Stoney Creek

I ran 6 at Stoney Creek Sunday and ran the whole way. I wore thin socks so my foot didn't go numb. I could feel the spot where the nerve hits, but was ok. I saw a runner I see at the Run thru Hell every year doing a race and waved hi. I was joined by 2 old guys huffing and puffing trying to keep up to me and they took a short cut thru a parking lot but I beat them and told them my GPS watch says that is longer than staying on the path. They run so they can eat cheeseburgers for lunch everyday.
After the run I picked up Dianne and Pete and took them to the Trail so Dianne could practice racewalking. The weather was perfect and she went faster than Pete and I. Great BUTT!!!

Paint Creek

Ran 6 with Disco Sat. on the Trail. I met with Sheila Tinnion Th. and will help with OPC 5k June 6 and Senior Olympics 5k July 6. Also joined a weight loss challenge on Cardiac Athletes. 14 pounds in 12 weeks.
