This week we take a short road trip south on Carl T Jones to Bruegger's Bagels for our starting point.
This week we take a short road trip south on Carl T Jones to Bruegger's Bagels for our starting point.
For this last week of Daylight Savings Time, I am keeping us off poorly illuminated sidewalks as much as possible and on less traveled neighborhood streets.
The route tomorrow keeps us away from sidewalks and dark greenways. It starts with a lap around a portion of the parking lot.
I am not a fan of running in the cold…there I said it, and by cold, I mean below 25 degrees. However, I am a bigger fan of NOT running on a treadmill.So…I run in the cold. If the thermometer reads in double digits I will run.
Thursdays come every week so it means a group with mutual interest, running, meet at Fleet Feet Huntsville at 5:30 AM to run five miles.
When I sit down to create the Breakfast Club route each week from Fleet Feet, I am faced with what seems to been infinite possibilities of five-mile routes. Even with all the possibilities I still gravitate back to some of our, or maybe I should say 'my' favorites.
As a member of the Fleet Feet Marathon training group, our plan details the Thursday run as a Tempo Run. This run is a way to practice a 'race pace' for a shorter distance
You can avoid hills when running five miles from Fleet Feet, however, but not tomorrow.
The race (half-marathon) was about to start and the discomfort was there. "It will go away when I get warmed up.” NOT.
TRUTH...some mornings it would be easy to just roll over and go back to sleep.
BUT...a commitment to a training plan and friends make me...
