Pix 163 - Running Stuff

I finally have some real running gear. It's almost like I'm a real runner now.

Pix 147 - Ice Ice Baby

Alternate blog title: I'm getting too old for this shit.
I'm icing my legs after tonight's run. 4.5 miles. Shin were pretty good. My right leg hurt a lot, but my left leg felt pretty good.

Pix 138 - Beware the Nasty Foot

I hope nobody is eating right now. Not since Mr. Deeds have you seen a nastier foot (that's probably not true, but it's funny) I've been running since September. My feet are paying the price. I have pretty nice looking feet for a guy. Pretty hairy, but nice looking. I can wear sandals or flip flops without people wanting to vomit...well I used to be able to to.

My toes are paying a price for all the running. It looks like that left ring toe is gonna lose the nail soon and both big toes are a hot mess. But I'm getting better at running. I did over 7 miles tonight, sprinting 10 minutes of it. Come back tomorrow if you dare...

Pix 119 - A Major Award

this is our prize for winning first place in the insurance company division of the IOA Corporate 5K.

This is my first running award since 10th grade relays. Nice!

Pix 107 - Another Race

I ran a 12K today. 7.46 miles. It was a lot of fun. Here's a shot of the finish line after all the action wound down.

Pix 105 - IOA Coporate 5K - Downtown Orlando

Yesterday in Downtown Orlando was the IOA Corporate 5K. There were over 12,000 runners. My time was pretty good considering all the weaving I had to do in an out of the walkers and the pit stop when I went off course to try to use a church bathroom. Officially I ran 29:30 Unofficially more like 28:15 or so. Have fun looking for me.

Can you find me?

What about now?

Pix 98 - 12 miles! No way

My Run Keeper App went nuts today. I ran about 4 miles today, but my Run Keeper App said I ran 12 miles. We ran on the track, but for some reason it had me going up to 50 3 times. whoops.

Pix 57 - NTC 5K

I did a 5K on Saturday. It was in the 40s and raining. The last race I did was a 10K and that day it was also in the 40s and raining! What's the deal!!!!?!???!!?

I ran a personal best of 28:03 and finished 4th in my age group. I'm happy with that. Next race is in April, looking to cut a minute, maybe a minute and a half off of this time.
