It was a running weekend this weekend. Saturday morning came early so we could get in our long runs. Kathy went with her Fleet Feet peeps on an 18 mile run. At the same time, I did 16 miles around Creve Coeur Lake. I’ll have a route review of the path later [...]

Pardon my non run related post. Fall is in the air because college football starts this weekend! This is a welcome change since my beloved Cardinals baseball team has taken the death spiral to non contention the last two weeks. It has been an ugly fall. But now the Missouri Tigers are carrying my [...] Friday after work I needed to make up for the interval session (4 x 1200) I skipped on Thursday. Instead of going to the track, I just programmed up the Garmin and headed down to the Chesterfield levee. After the mile warmup, the start of the first 1200 coincided with a stretch along the levee where [...] Today I left for work and the house was unkempt, filthy, wretched, dirty. I got home from work and the house was neat, spotless, shiny, clean. Yes, we’ve joined the bourgeois! We hired a cleaning service. They come in and make the dirty things clean. My only reminders of this is when the [...] After training almost entirely for long slow distance for the last year, my interval sessions this summer were a nice change, but they haven’t exactly been translating me into a speed demon. I’ve been feeling better the last few weeks, but by 21:10 5K PR is totally out of reach. My plan was targeting [...] In my never ending search for person glory in the form of new PRs, I signed up for the Scorcher Four, a (duh) 4 mile race held in University City. This is part of my ongoing effort to PR at every distance this year and since I’ve never run a four miler, a PR was [...] Our destination after Hlulhuwe was the Greater St. Lucia Wetlands Park. This group of reserves, forests, and parks is unique enough that it was named a world heritage site. Our drive to St. Lucia only took around four hours, but we did travel thru some less developed areas of South Africa. Matubatuba, pronounced [...] Per my ongoing effort to meet some of those faces in blog land face to face, two of my blogging Facebook buddies and I got together for a social run Wednesday night. Beth, a former St. Louisian living in Minnesota, and Beth, a former Minnesotan living in St. Louis met at my favorite statue, The [...] Kathy and I hosted the 2nd Annual BBQ Thing on Saturday. I smoked a pig shoulder and I have to humbly state that the resulting food product was pretty much incredibly good. Very smokey with my dry rub adding wonderful flavor. These were served on plain buns with a trio of lovely sauces [...] A workout that was good. It is about time. Temps tonight were only 85 degrees and humidity was 40% – in other words – totally glorious. I did 5 x 1000 with the Fleet Feet crowd. My average time was 4:18. Still nothing incredible, but better, so much better. I actually felt [...] |
