Posts that don’t fit well anywhere else.
30 years ago this month, two friends talked me into going out for 7th grade track and I went to my first practice. I pretty quickly decided I actually liked running.
100,000+ miles later, here we are. What a ride.

We’ve heard a lot about social distancing in the past month or so but, a few weeks ago, I heard someone say we should call it physical distancing because one thing we should be doing now is socially connecting.

Probably because I share so openly the kinds of winter weather I’ve run in (pretty much anything you can think of) I’m often asked what people should wear in given conditions.
I always struggle with these questions. Not because I’m trying to hold back top secret information but because I truly don’t know. Different people need different gear in different conditions.

June overall was a decent month – while I had a number of consistency issues they are not nearly as bad as they have been in the past. I missed a total of 5 runs getting 25 runs completed. I ran a total of 216 miles averaging a 7:02 pace for the month. (I need to slow it down some and increase the quality of the workouts.) June’s total mileage brings me to a yearly total of 1,283 miles (last year was only 702 miles.)
Looking forward to a great July with two races planned. One in the books (read the Race report on these blogs) and one on July 16th – Fish Day.

May was overall a pretty good month for training. I only had 24 runs though so my consistency faltered a bit. This was do to the huge re-roofing project my wife and I did by ourselves over the Memorial Day weekend.
I ran a total of 208.50 miles bringing my yearly total to 1,067 miles for 2016 (through the end of May.) My average pace in May was a fairly strong 7:29 per mile and according to suggested training pace calculators, to achieve my goal of sub 30 at Al’s, I would need an easy pace of 7:34 per mile, so I am on target for that goal.
I have also managed to lose a tiny bit more weight and body fat. I am very near my goal of 145 pounds as I am at 148. My body fat (measured by a bathroom scale so . . ) fluctuates between 9-11%.
