Thursday Treadmill Workout: Cheetah Fast!
Only 2 days to go until the East Beach Norfolk Half Marathon, and as it’s not a Priority A race, no time for a taper (although I will probably take a rest day tomorrow). Decided to run the old favorite Cheetah Fast treadmill workout and see if I could maintain a faster pace than the [...]
Bit Of A Catch Up
Haven’t posted too much the past 3 or 4 days. Lots going on and life in the blog world has had to take a back seat for a short time, so I just thought I’d post a quick update of what I’ve been up to: Monday was a solid treadmill run, followed by a quick [...]

Monday Evening Treadmill Run
Had a few chores around the house to do after work, so decided to just take a leisurely run on the treadmill tonight. I chose one of the pre-programmed random workouts, popped in a “Ministry Of Sound” CD and off I went. Usually I get bored after 30 minutes on the belt, but tonight it [...]
Sunday Struggle
No MotionBased activity for you to look at tonight. For some reason I couldn’t get a lock on any of the satellites and just used my Garmin 305 as an expensive stopwatch instead. My only goal tonight was to run just over 4 miles which would bring my total mileage for the week up to [...]
Tidewater Striders Distance Series 25k
Today’s 25k was my fourth race this month. Earlier in the week I was definitely looking forward to another race at Fort Story in Virginia Beach and seeing how close I could get to my predicted finish time courtesy of the McMillan Running Calculator. Based on my 20k time earlier in January (1:19:53), the calculator [...]
Easy Wednesday 4 Miler
Not much to report tonight I’m afraid. After yesterday’s tough treadmill workout, I just decided on an easy 4 mile recovery run. I set off around 4:55pm with the last sunshine of the afternoon just visible above the tree line, and the weather much better than it has been on previous days (around 46°F) The [...]
Tuesday Treadmill Workout: Cheetah Fast!
No time for a combined bike/run workout tonight, so decided on a quality treadmill run instead, courtesy of Troy Jacobson and one of his Runervals DVD’s. I wanted something longer than either of the two 30 minute Time Saver workouts, and thought Cheetah Fast would be a nice challenge – it’s been a while since [...]
New Year Weight Goals
I wouldn’t describe myself as totally obsessive with regard to how much I weigh, but the runner in me likes to track body weight and body fat, just like I log my daily runs. Over the holiday period I didn’t pay much attention to what I ate and drank, but as soon as New [...]
Monday Afternoon 5 Miler
Managed to get out and back from a five miler before darkness set in this afternoon. It was still very cold (high 20′s) but at least the wind wasn’t too strong tonight. My goal was to run for five miles total with a couple of faster miles thrown in for good measure. The first mile [...]
