Eight Day of Fitness (run)

The Eight day of Fitness was actually the seventh due to being sick yesterday. I got out to run at the Aquaduct. I choose the dirt side (it would be easier on my joints). It was windy and cold, but I was bundled. I got started and developed a side-switch early. It stayed with me [...]

Because visiting with some great friends, I am unable to run Sunday, so I decided to run on Saturday. I left the house at about 9:15am and decided to run around the block using my families normal walking route, which is about three miles. I did not use a “lubrication lap” (for warm-up) and started out [...]
