Good to see you are back up and running literally. I was getting worried you had to give it up. Although you picked a good set of days to take off with all of this wind.

Sheridan....influenza zapped me pretty good. I got into the doctor fairly quickly but it still had some lasting effects with my lung capacity. I'm so glad to be back at it.

Man aren't you trying to get over being sick? That is how you get pneumonia. Just Kidding. I have struggled this year trying to find the perfect combination of running attire for the run. Way to get out early and battle it out. Melanie went out earlier this morning too. I guess I had better get after it.

8.25 on the TM is the same mental test as 20 outdoors, so you should just put down 20. That is a lot of indoor running, especially at the end of the day.

Up at 5 AM to go to work. 10 hour workday, and then I'm off for church business. Home to catch a bite to eat and then on to the treadmill running for some downtime before bedtime. Just in case anybody was curious about how my days go these past four and a half years.........but really.......who cares!

Still blown away that you still find the time to run. Before long we might be able to get you off that treadmill and back on the pavement. But seriously it does take a lot of dedication to keep at it when you have to use treadmill late at night. Still hoping to get some type of run in together.

Thanks Tom and IJR

I backed off the running the last 6 days and did some cycling to give my ankle some time to heal. So far so good. Really wishing for some injury free running.

Ran some 800 repeats today. Avg 3:15 5 of them. Man......I have for a lot of work to do. Pretty frustrated but there is always a starting point.

lost my winter runnin partner tonight. Hanna my golden retriever died this evening. She was a rescue dog that we had for 3 1/2 years. So going to miss her:(

Odark30 in 30 degree weather. Decent run with very little ankle discomfort. 

On a side note.....heart is heavy with my running/pal/family pet passing away. They give so much. It makes God more tangible and real. What a wonderful creation the canine is! I am truly grateful for all aspects of life that we can enjoy and more importantly learn from.

Summertime ....we have lost a couple of chimes in the last week. Side note....my neighbor and YOUR relatives tv antenna blew down on my fence and home last week. I finally picked it up and threw it on to his lawn. I'm thinking he thought it was a lawn ornament.

Thought I would enter a running entry.....My runs for the past several months have been pretty easy and lame. It's about all I can do at the moment. I have an acoustic neouroma brain tumor that had been causing me a few issues over the last several months. I won't elaborate but my tumor is benign but needs to be taken out to prevent any further hearing loss and balance issues. I will be having this surgery later this summer while the tumor is small. Hoping that I can still run in preparation to that surgery and then in 8 weeks I'm back at it again. 

 

I will continue to run but just dont feel like blogging about easy runs that the only high point is feeling less fatigue and no headaches:)

Good to hear from you Rye. I may have told Tara about your tumor. But you know something? She's so insensitive! A good swift kick to her backside might improve her sensitivity.

From Rye on Wed, May 28, 2014 at 18:03:54 from 97.121.36.221

Burt....I agree that Tara puts compassion towards the bottom of her priority list. If she stops in the hospital to see me (SLC) I'll try to hit her.

From Burt on Wed, May 28, 2014 at 18:05:02 from 174.26.202.177

From SlowJoe on Wed, May 28, 2014 at 18:50:42 from 66.69.93.8

Glad to hear it's benign, Rye. Scary stuff. Get that thing out and heal up fast!

From Tara on Thu, May 29, 2014 at 14:07:41 from 50.186.87.12

I was going to act surprised, but Burt spilled the beans..twice. For the record, I thought you two were playing another dirty trick on me and I wasn't going to fall for it. I might have said, "Well at least I'll finally meet you at the funeral." Burt must have thought I was a monster. Then he never said he was kidding. I started to worry and even get scared. That is all true. Even the (in)sensitive part. I really hope things go well for you. Have you told your ward or any of the Summers clan yet? I kept my mouth shut, just in case. Burt is so bad with secrets. How long will you be in the hospital?

From Rye on Thu, May 29, 2014 at 14:49:25 from 75.174.58.133

Sheridan knows Tara. I have to admit he was instrumental in getting the surgery scheduled. I'm not a fan a medicine or doctors (don't let your husband know this) I finally have been open about this. I tried to keep it hush hush for quite sometime but the word is out. I'll be in SLC for about 4-5days....I'm shooting for 2...don't think that is reasonable:)..as it gets closer I'll let you know when or I'll just message you. Don't want everyone to know when I'll be leaving my house.....even though nobody reads my blog. can't trust too many people.

From jtshad on Thu, May 29, 2014 at 15:30:51 from 141.221.191.225

nothing too special about this run. Evening run around the local park. 4 football teams practicing in various places along the park. Couldn't believe how coaches yell at grade schoolers trying to capture their glory days of years gone by. Really....shutup, whimp......and then we wonder why women are mistreated....I'm not saying football is bad ....I think there is a lack of teaching when coaches are yelling derogatory comments every chance they open their mouths. Some of my high school coaches were the best at building not tearing down.

Really wanted to see how I would do with a few miles at different paces. It's been too long since I've run anything that gets my heart beating harder than what I've been doing for the last couple of months. No injuries and legs feel fresh and I'm still moving.....Maybe I'm not done yet.....How stupid am I.....It's mid October (in Idaho)and I'm trying to get my miles up..

Late night run. Had a campout with the some of the youth in our area and didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night. My legs didn't feel very chipper this evening. It was a sporadic week of running. 5 days scattered throughout the week. I was shooting for 6 but had a couple of busy days that I just couldn't fit a run in. Overall mileage is about what I hoped for. A couple of weeks in the mid 40's and then be in the 50mpw range......no injuries.

Way to get em in Rye. Cool basement sounds better than a hot basement when you're running!

21 more miles and you'll break 1,000 for the year? :-)

IJR....I think that I will make that...well you never know about injuries. You may well have jinxed me!

This was a progressive run. Started slow and finished up with a 6:45 at the last. Pretty decent run for me.

Nice progressive run. Always nice when you can finish up running a 6:45. Where you running in the new shoes? how is the calf muscle doing?

Summertime....ran in them this morning. My left calf is hurting pretty bad. Dalton took the rolling pin to it this morning after my run. I think he enjoyed seeing me squirm.

Pretty strong when you can knock out a 6:45 after running 10 miles!

Every time I think of death march miles I think of the time we did our long run and walked back the last two miles when we ran out of water. Some times you have to earn the miles. Hope we can get your shoes figured out.
