Went a bit Gumpish today – my second 10 miler in recent weeks. I really feel my body getting fit with each step and running such high miles close together is quite a feat for me. I think this is the most I have done within days of each other in a long time. If I keep up this pace, watch my diet and start weights in the Spring, I will be good for my first 1/2 marathons and a series of 10k’s. I will try to get the missus onboard as well. She is doing fine too. Specifics: Elliptical set at resistance 3 and incline15°; kept the SPM at roughly 77. Started relatively slow since I knew was gonna be a long run. I think I probably started too slow. At any rate, I picked it up in the middle stages, but by the time I got to the 7mi point I was pretty tired. I got a second wind in the late stage of the 9th mile. I did experience much endorphins this on this run. Finally, Jason Derulo was the play of choice – really cool music to work out to, especially – Bubblegum and Talk Dirty. That’s it for today… Good livin’…just keep on movin’

Pretty crazy run today on the elliptical; broke several times – fastest 5k, 1k and mile. I kicked it up to resistance 3 and worked between 2 and 3 for the entire period. I also managed to stay pretty much above 80 SPM for the entire workout. I was even able to kick into the high 80’s to low 90’s early on. I absolutely feel the fitness level kicking up. Also, I am able to maintain a pretty good pace. I will probably do a light workout tomorrow and then do my long run on Friday. Also, I am listening to Jason Derulo during my workout – it is the total bomb fo-real! That’s it for today… Good livin’…just keep on movin’

Alicia does it again – an extraordinarily gifted poet and an important voice and spirit.
Personally, I think the song should be “We are Extraordinary People”. Really love it!

Pretty good treadmill run today. Mainly ran at 1-2° incline and varied speed between 5.2 and 8.0; actually I only ran 8.0 for a minute then drop to 7.5. All in all a pretty good workout. Will push to get tomorrow in earlier and do my 10 miler on Thursday or Friday. That’s it for today… Good livin’…just keep on movin’
