10/19 I felt really good Sunday morning. Woke up around 7:20 and got the kids ready for church with Lane. We had donuts at church (old fashion glazed are our favorites). We went to Costco afterwards to pick up some bulk items we’ve been needing for awhile. I have been telling Lane for months now…

10/12 It’s Sunday! Unfortunately the kids are still sick so we decided to stay home from church. We got a great night of sleep last night so I feel really good as I continue to recover from yesterday’s long run. A buddy from high school is driving through Springfield today with his wife so he’s…

Editor’s Note: I know this blog is “late” compared to other blogs I’ve done. I decided I want to post these after my weekly long runs going forward. Sorry to the two or three people who read this. I’ll be more consistent going forward. 10/2 As part of my rest day, I took a walk…

I mentioned in my last blog that I wanted to capture and share what I eat in a day. There’s a couple reasons for writing this. The first reason is to show y’all what I am doing for fuel during before, during, and after training. The second reason is because nutrition is an area of…

9/25 It’s my brother Zach’s birthday. He’s 27 years old. He got engaged and graduated college a few months back. His future wife, Katie, is really an incredible woman. It’s been amazing to see him grow and change in the years since Covid. We fought a lot when we were young and it led to…

9/18 Joy woke up in the middle of the night three times. Lane and I didn’t get any sleep between 1 and 3:30 AM. I’m glad today is a rest day. I do not plan on doing anything except going to work, coming home, playing with the kids, and going to sleep. This is my…

9/11 Today is the usual rest and active recovery. My training readiness is 89 as of this morning at 10 AM so I’m going to be very fresh for the weekend. I am running my distance PR on Saturday so I’m going to fully rest and stay out of the garage today. I went on…

9/4 I completed a 5.5 miles easy today. The weather is cooling down. The sun rises noticeably later into the morning now. The sky was dark and full of purple clouds. I was struck by how quiet the neighborhood was. It felt as if the whole city decided to sleep in because of the dark.…

8/28 It’s Thursday. It’s rest day. I feel really good going into this weekend. Often on my rest days I find myself “cheating” in small ways: doing pull-ups in the garage, jogging lightly during my lunch break walk, etc. Today I really took it easy. In fact, it was a borderline lazy day. I took…

8/21 I rested today. It’s been a slow ramp up coming back from sickness. To reward myself for actually taking a day off, I’m gonna do a threshold workout tomorrow after work. I haven’t done enough high aerobic work recently and I want to train in a higher zone. My hope is that doing so…
