Good job Dan ... I would say the chances of me running at all in windy 3 degree weather are slim to none! How are your ailments?

From I Just Run on Thu, Jan 24, 2013 at 10:21:27 from 67.79.11.242

The only place I'd be running in 3 degree weather is to my car...and that only if it were an emergancy!

These are sure not "sissy" miles!!!

From SlowJoe on Sun, Jan 27, 2013 at 12:12:14 from 69.131.141.92

Yeah, "sissy" does not apply when running in sub-zero windchill. Well done.

Hey Dan, Hope all is well. Not sure what size you wear, but I just ordered a pair of the Adios 2 for 69.95, no tax, free shipping ... just cant get the yellow ones, they are $115! :) Anyway, I know you like these, and they are hard to find on sale anywhere ... so thought I would pass it along.

Bonnie! Yes I am slowly starting to heal. Hope it is long term this time. No Spring racing, but I hope to race this summer and actually run some marathons again in the fall.

Joe- Yes a few more, low miles seem to not bother my body anymore so if I can add miles with out it noticing I will do so. So If I do it slow maybe it will not bother me!

Colder morning, about 23 with a cold wind. Decided a new route today because I did not want to cut it short so I took a loop through the neighborhood and then to the bike path and back home. Very hilly but I feel alight.

More rain, more muddy trails. Sugar Creek, helping that friend with his marathon training. He officially starts training in May- but I am there for encouragement to help him get going. He picked me and we ran... then he lost his key and I laughed because I remember that happening to me before. Luckily we retraced our steps and I mentioned him tying his shoes. He left his key on the post where he did that so all is well.

Good morning. About 64 and felt decent after the first few slower miles. I have been actually eating healthy for 3 weeks now and I can tell it makes me feel better. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy a nice steak ;) . I just have been fruit heavy in the am, lots of fruit smoothies with Whey and fish/meat heavy in the afternoon/pm. It is a type of Paleo diet, not trying to lose weight, just trying to stay injury free and get some miles back under me.

Been a long time since I logged a 20. Since Boston actually. Wow it's hard to believe I have been trying to get back for so long. I have certainly lost some of  my edge that is for sure. All in all, good day to do it -58 at the start of the run, cannot ask for much more really. Glad its in and hope to repeat next week. One bright note is my last few miles were the fastest. Nothing to brag about but nice to know I did not have to drag myself across at the end. 2 deer and actually saw a groundhog attempt to climb a tree....

We earned this one. 74/75/96%. WET and just tough conditions to have a long run. Two in the group struggled but I kept them slow and steady. I told them after it won't get any harder than that. For me, that was the 3rd straight 20 mile Saturday. Next week we will back it off. That being said my total mileage is still low. I still want to build up slowly as I am totally coddling my way back. I figure slow is better than not getting any running in. We'll see how the body holds up in 3 weeks as I take them slowly on the 26. They maybe up my training to push a little pace at Indy in Novemeber.

I'm jealous! It'll be 42 here eventually...in December. Nice run yesterday.

It didn't disappoint. very cool morning, broke out the $ gloves for the first 2 miles Saturday.

90 to 42 is a big swing. $ gloves to the rescue.

i hope you have a relaxing weekend after your long week.

Last run with the group I will be pacing next week! They are excited to run their first marathon. Some axious feelings but they are ready. Morning was perfect. 43 at the start! I can only hope next week will be that cool. They did well and ran faster than they are used to (9:30) Yes that is slow, but for a group of non-runners with a desire to try a marathon I think that is great. Plus itwill keep me from trying to race it and let me keep it fun!

Thanks David, it should be fun. Strange mode for me when running 26.2.

Today was the day my group I have been training was to run their first marathon. My official goal for them was... 'beat Oprah' ... and they did. I was the pacer and the pace I wanted them to hold was sub 10:00. Keep in mind they are young, and it was a bucket list for them. Yes they trained hard but nothing like many train on the blog so that was a big goal for them. Still waiting for the official results, but I have us at 9:57/mile and they were thrilled! 

I really did enjoy pacing and soaking in the race while motivating them. I have a gift for talking too much and did plenty of jokes, stories and personal experiences. This was fun and helped them through the end. I figured I did something right as true to form I made their last mile the fastest. 7:59. That was big for them, nice to see excited faces. Lewis, the one guy, already wanted to run another one at a real pace. I said that takes dedicated training, but I'd love to pace again. 

Overall good day.

Very cool, Dan, and way to give back!!!

From Dan on Sat, Sep 21, 2013 at 15:20:34 from 24.209.83.20

Oh Bon, I have missed you! Thanks :)

From Bonnie on Sat, Sep 21, 2013 at 15:25:17 from 64.119.33.134

I have missed you too!

Nice job. Was it flat and cool?

From Dan on Sat, Sep 21, 2013 at 15:58:39 from 24.209.83.20

62 and rain at the start. rain ended right away and nice weather. I prefer 48 but I'll take it :) Its not flat. Not epic hills, but it starts out going up and some idiot put a hill at mile 22.

From SlowJoe on Sun, Sep 22, 2013 at 12:27:55 from 66.69.93.8

Sounds like a pretty cool experience. You must have set a perfect pace! Hopefully a speedy recovery for you.

From JG on Mon, Sep 23, 2013 at 08:48:34 from 99.141.151.28

Congratulations Dan, pacing is a great way to give back to the sport, especially when you have trained those you pace! Gotta love the fast last mile ... makes them wonder what they are capable of! :)

From I Just Run on Tue, Sep 24, 2013 at 09:03:42 from 67.79.11.242

This is so cool! Probably much more rewarding than your "personal" PR.

BTW...can you come and pace me to a perfect 3:16 marathon? :-)

From derhammer on Thu, Sep 26, 2013 at 09:46:34 from 64.245.52.2

Awesome way to give back. Congrats.

From Dan on Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 17:36:25 from 24.209.83.20

Joe- It was pretty cool and thanks, I am recovering quite well.

JG- Yes, read my mind, they are already talking about next time.

IJR- I would be honored to pace you to 3:16... however, not sure I am in the shape to do so!

DH- Thanks, bout time I did.

Good morning to run. Legs getting some spring back, but still will be a few days or so until I feel like putting in more. Interesting run from subdivision to roads to bike path to trails to road to home... fun!

It's good to see "fun" and "run" in the same blog entry. Hope things keep going well!

Happy New Year Dan! :)

Happy June? Come run Erie marathon with me Sept 14

From Dan on Sat, Jun 14, 2014 at 16:02:24 from 207.244.77.16

JG- You know that sounds great. Except I am not in shape for that. I had a my quad inury re-occur in October (it never healed or felt right). I ran zero miles in November, December and January. I did strength training in January and started out very slow with some miles. I started to run a little and then I had a pinched nerve in my neck. Sadly that meant more time off..... so long story... but I am running a few miles at a time. I thought about logging those miles but trying to keep positive and not bring others down around here.

13 miles this week. :)

However, if I can motivate, Erie is a possibility.

From JG on Sun, Jun 22, 2014 at 20:06:09 from 98.237.61.17

Hey Dan, great to hear from you! Really sorry to hear about the aggravating injuries! I live in Harrisburg, PA now & travel to Pittsburgh regularly ... we will have to meet up somewhere/some day!
