I did it. My year is over. I did my resolution. I never need to run again.

Farther and faster than you can imagine.

4 miles in 39 something. Felt good.

I long for the day my legs don’t feel stiff the day after running.

Thx bro. I just set the dreadmill to a 10:00 pace. The first was like 10:15 because it took a bit to speed up, but I hustled the last half of the run in 4:20.

Houston marathon and half marathon today. Proud to say I have several friends running the half this year. Drove thru downtown on my way to work this morning to feel the energy.

Big races that close streets and disrupt regular activity seems like the sort of thing that would annoy city residents, but I'm always pleasantly surprised to see that most cities feel some real pride and enjoyment about their big race days.

Good luck, Houstonians

There are a number of 5k races in the spring that I have done before and part of me would like to continue. There’s also an 8k that I had in mind too. A friend who wants to get back into running after a two year absence also asked me about doing a race comprised of a half marathon and 10k. It’s highly unlikely I do it since I think it will be very hilly.

But, there’s another part of me that doesn’t want to race at all. Even if I tell myself to just go out and enjoy it, the results still get in my head and I set myself up for disappointment.

Nice. Beat your friends into submission.

I might be back.

Third 7 miler of the week today. I haven't done 7 in a while and I haven't done three 7's in a week in close to a year. Not since Brooklyn Half training last year.

500 miles in 2023, that's the goal. I've decided

And you try to act like you're done...

I just had one of the best feeling fast runs i've had. 3.11 in 28:22, which is nowhere near my PR, but I'm very happy with the results. Got faster each mile also.

I've got a 4 miler scheduled tomorrow but I might stretch it to 5 so I can make it 50 miles on the year so far.

Off to a good start.

That's a baller amount of mileage this early in the year.

I'm thinking about doing a route around here tomorrow that's hilly. Hills kill me so I have to work on them. I will go slowly.
