    Siedman 2 on 6/1/2010

    Hoffmaster on 5/30/2010
  • Dang, it sure seemed a lot faster :-( Maybe just not used to the warm weather yet. Right achillies is quite sore. [7.2 mi @ 10:00 min/mi]
    Ken-O-Sha 7 on 5/25/2010

    Ken-O-Sha on 5/19/2010
  • This felt really good and was enjoyable. Not sure of the time, I had no watch. Probably a bit faster then logged. Ran in my sandles doing the last 3/4 mile barefoot and it went just fine. [5.25 mi @ 10:28 min/mi]
    Aman on 5/16/2010
  • Pretty sure this cousre is longer then 4.5 miles. Legs were weak and I was out of breath most of the way. Not the fun run I was hoping for. [4.5 mi @ 11:07 min/mi]
    Siedman 1 on 5/14/2010
  • Well, that sucked. I'm fighting allergies, thought this might help clear my head. It didn't. Feel ill. [2.5 mi @ 11:24 min/mi]
    Treadmill on 5/12/2010

  • Nice hard run. Felt okay. [5.1 mi @ 7:48 min/mi]
    on 4/7/2010
  • That was way harder then it should have been. Legs were dead tired. Perhaps I need more then 24 hours to recover from a hard work out? That sucks. However, I did see a pair of Golden Eagles! [10.5 mi @ 10:39 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 4/2/2010
  • That was a blast. First real ride on my new bike. It flys. 40+mph on the down hills! The only flaw in the ride was having to replace an innertube. Fun. [25 mi @ 3:04 min/mi]
    on 3/31/2010
  • The Margareta loop plus the stairs plus the quiet trail. [4 mi @ 9:48 min/mi]
    Hoffmaster 1 on 3/27/2010

    TaoRunner on 3/23/2010
  • Pretty muddy but nice to out on the trails again. [4.75 mi @ 11:11 min/mi]

  • Spin while watching the game. [9.5 mi @ 4:12 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 3/20/2010
  • That was a bit more uncomfortable then I thought it would be. Still a bit stiff and sore from last weekend's race. The beer, shot and hot wing for lunch probably didn't help. [3.1 mi @ 9:27 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 3/18/2010
  • Cool, overcast and breezy day. Felt better then I had a right to. Other then sore muscles all is well the next day. Really tired. Oh, this is a PR for this course by 10 minutes. Good way to start the 2010 racing year! [60 km @ 13:14 min/km]

    TaoRunner on 2/21/2010
  • Not quite as long as I had hoped but a reasonably good run. [10.5 mi @ 9:17 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 2/20/2010

    Taorunner on 2/16/2010

    TaoRunner on 1/19/2010
  • Not bad given the condition of the trail. Cardo was good leg muscles will be a bit sore. Good run for me for now. [7 mi @ 9:46 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 1/16/2010
  • First run on the indoor track at GVSU. Better then the treadmill. Don't seem to have the same issues as the treadmill but still boring. [4.5 mi @ 10:26 min/mi]

    TaoRunner on 11/1/2009

    TaoRunner on 10/29/2009
  • Man did that feel good. I haven't had a run were I felt like that all summer. How nice. I had to double check the mileage I got done so quickly. Nice run in the woods of Hoffmaster! [11.5 mi @ 10:08 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 10/25/2009

    TaoRunner on 10/17/2009
  • Aman Park. Ran the middle 4.5 miles at a sub 9 min mile pace. Reasonably good considering the hills Enjoyable run. [5.25 mi @ 9:28 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 10/15/2009
  • Siedman Park run. Not real sure of the time, didn't have a watch. Felt faster then this but I'm not sure. Tried my new running sandles. I like them. [4.5 mi @ 11:06 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 10/13/2009
  • Wandered around the dunes of Hoffmaster. Tried some new trails so my distance is an educated guess. I bit sore, no jump in my legs today. [12.5 mi @ 10:52 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 10/11/2009

    TaoRunner on 10/9/2009

    TaoRunner on 10/4/2009

    TaoRunner on 10/1/2009
  • Ouch. I wasn't as ready for this as I thought and it was a really tough trail. Not just hilly but a bike trail with lots of rock, roots and ruts. It make it really hard to run the downhills to make up for walking the uphills. My body hurts. [31 mi @ 14:00 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 9/26/2009

    TaoRunner on 9/1/2009
  • Great run on the NC Trail. Not as hilly as my usual long run and that was okay. Really slammed it on the way back. Out 1:15, back 1:05 knocking off over 1 min a mile on the way home. Nice. [14.5 mi @ 9:42 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 8/29/2009
  • Reasonably good run. Rubber legs to start with a strong finish. Finished the entire event in 2:44:00 which is a few minutes slower then last year. However, 2nd place this year for my age group. And, yes there were more then 2 in my age group! [6.2 mi @ 8:11 min/mi]

    TaoRunner on 8/16/2009
  • Tough run, but bitch'n fast for me given how hilly the course is. I am very pleased. That last 4.5 miles was really tough and I slowed a bunch. Plus I got stung by a bee. [15 mi @ 9:59 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 8/15/2009
  • No Comment. [4.25 mi @ 5:10 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 8/14/2009

  • My longest swim this year, but man am I slow. [.55 mi @ 49:05 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 8/9/2009
  • Very pleased with this run. While the pace may not seem great this is a very tough, hilly, course with 1200 feet of climb in the last mile. This is longer, harder and tougher then I have run in months. I'm happy. [11.5 mi @ 11:44 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 8/8/2009
  • Not bad. Ran the 10K in 53 then eased up the last 3/4 mile. Got blisters between a two toes wearing my Brooks rather then Nike. [7 mi @ 8:42 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 8/6/2009

    TaoRunner on 8/3/2009
  • Felt good, like I could go on for a long time. I'm just so stinking slow! [.4 mi @ 50:00 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 8/2/2009

    TaoRunner on 7/19/2009
  • Pretty good run. I ran in the rock to rock part in 40:10. Under 40 is an "in good shape" time for me. [5.25 mi @ 9:41 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 7/16/2009
  • Slow but at least I squeezed in a run on a very busy day. [3.25 mi @ 10:32 min/mi]

    TaoRunner on 6/29/2009
  • Not great, but way better then my last run. This time I managed to not have to stop and walk :-) [3.25 mi @ 10:49 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 6/26/2009
  • Okay, that sucked. To the point that I'm depressed. Slow, short and painful all in one run. I have to admit I am now starting from scratch and that sucks. Well I've done it before and I can do it again. The only things standing between me and success are making a commitment, effort and time. Sigh. [2.25 mi @ 10:13 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 6/24/2009

    TaoRunner on 5/24/2009

    TaoRunner on 5/21/2009

    TaoRunner on 3/27/2009
