Newport Run

Along the Carrier's Peir

Last Hoo Yaa!

No no..yo Ten Mile!

Ran this after the National Marathon. Plus all the roads near the Pentagon were shut down for some bull$h!t Anti War March.

Ready to put miles out

Not so bad...

Getting back into it..running season back!

Eary March start

A break in the weather allowed for a quick run at lunch today!

My own Turkey Trot. Ten so I can eat extra helpings! Happy Thanksgiving!

Starting the cool weather runs. Only time I ever wear spandex visible in public.

Check the rain cloud that started to form on my forehead when I got home. My body temp, plus the outside air temp, plus the humidity equals a slight chance of rain on my ever increasing in size dome.

Trying to loose up after a week off of running. Was a crappy run...

2008 USMC Marathon Track.

I crossed the Finish line! Did a jog through USMC Marathon set up. I ran around to keep loose and check out the sites.

13.1 Mile - Last run before USMC Marathon 2008.

One of my taper runs.

Last long run before USMC Marathon.

2008 Army 10 Miler - Thanks for the bib Suzanne!

Nice little pre-work run. Found the FDR Memorial. After my marathon I think I'll keep these distance up 2-3 times a week. I'll start on working my times down for 1/2 marathons.

Ran by funnel cakes, Gyros, beer, turkey legs and fresh lemon aid all day. Then was too tired to go get some good eats after my run. Virginia Beach was holding the 2008 Neptune Festival and the whole boardwalk was alive. Rained earlier in day so I was soaked for my run. Humidity kicked in after the rain cleared out. Drank 70 oz of water during run. Was a good "poor conditions" run for me to stretch my distance. Kicked my ass tho!

This was a pre-dawn off road trail through First Landing State Park. About a mile into it with only my little flashlight bats started swooping in front of me. Then I swore I heard Sasquatch on the left and wild boar on the right. I guess it kept my pace up! I did actually run into another jogger who came by with "no light" and scared the crap out of me...weird! Was fun tho!

My long run for the week. Went pretty good, but my body feels it a little more today. Plus I don't think I ate properly yesterday. Wondering what happens when I add another 11.2 miles to this run. The rest of the distance is mental at this point. I can do it!

My mid-week prep run for the USMC Marathon. Trying to do at least 10 miles before work on Tuesday's or Wednesday's each week until the race. I felt great during today's run and the weather was awesome while the sun came up across DC. Looks like I'll breeze through the Army 10 Miler on October 5th without issue. I bump it up to 13 miles on Saturday so hopefully my body won't notice the difference.

Preping for the USMC Marathon. Ran 10 Mi today, but my Forerunner died so I had to hand track my path. Looks about right. I actually thought it was farther.

1st Annual 10k. Course was a little short, but I'm not complaining.

Ran to the memorial and back.

Lots of stopping and going.

A cross training circuit

A cross training circuit - Abs

Got a new pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS 7 kicks yesterday. Took them for a spin today around DC. Ran across the highway bridge (nice breeze) and other monuments. Waiting to see if I develop any blisters later in the day, but overall the shoes were very comfortable. Great day for a run!

Another jog around Arlington National Cemetery. This time I was able to get a good look at the progress of the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial. It will open soon. A few good blisters developed around my toes. I need to get some new shoes. These have nearly 400 miles and some age on the soles.

I had run 1.5 miles before this track that did not register, swam and ran back. Only gave me 1.43 mi credit. Oh well.

What a great day for a run! Ran through the Pentagon parking lot then over through Pentagon City. Started and stopped at the Dog Park on Scott Street. Dam hill near killed me!

Ran around the Air Force Memorial today. Up that darn hill too!

A quick run around the National Mall today. Was a little hot out (100 heat index). Slowed to a fast walk towards the end. Was nice to run by all the monuments. I'll do it again soon!

A quick run around Pentagon City then up to Prospect Hill

A nice run walk around Arlington Cemetery. I actually took a wrong turn (due to some construction) and ended up on some trails and also on the wrong side of the highway. My wife is making fun of me because she say's I got lost with my new "GPS". Lost some cool points with that!

On short hiatus to help with this guy.

The hottest day so far this year. At least 94 druing this run. Had to quit at two miles.

Done Geocaching for the day and off to the Pool for 500M swim.

Leaving GC1C46X on my way to GC1C9H1.

On my way to GC1C46X.

Same route as Tuesday except I swam 500M after the run today. Almost one min faster a mile this way.

Had an opportunity to run alongside our Nations heros today. Lots of hills and trails. Also put some time in at the pool. 500M

Quick bike ride to the store. Not all the track was recorded.

Short run around the block.

My long run for this week. Had all my tech gear for this one. Geeked out with some free time when I got home.

Day two of my 1/2 Training program from Nike Plus Online.

Nice low key run up the street. Light rain made it almost refreshing. Starting my 1/2 training program to finish up on July 13th.

My Physical Fitness Test. Sensor is about .05 miles off. I think I left the clock running too. I finished around 12:20...SLOTH!

My pre-test run. I'm like the Kiwi...out of shape.

Spring is here...getting my lazy but up and out! For the second day in a row.
