"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement."
You can try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough

Bike 30 min, Run 45 min
Tuesday, February 14, 2012 at 08:11PM Spun for 30 minutes on the trainer followed by a leisurely 15-minute transition period used to stop myself from sweating before pulling on cold-weather gear for a somewhat strained 45-minute run.

Epic beach day. Kite-surfers, dog walkers, fellow runner out in force this morning. Playlist highlight - Champagne Supernova, a great powder day anthem that seems to apply equally well for surfers rejoicing in wind-blown waves. A nice toast to Horseneck Beach.

Time: No watch today but certainly right around 8s.
Light rain at the start progressed into steady cold drizzle 2 miles in, along with a good wind to boot. So much prefer this to running on a treadmill.

Horseneck Beach
Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at 09:42PM Run: Horseneck Beach to Chandanais.
Distance: 8.76
Time: 1:09:08/7:54
I intended to run about 6.5 but my weak headlamp failed to illuminate my exit off the beach path and through the campground. So I pressed forward to West Beach Road and endured a chilling wind in my face for the last four miles back. Happy with my steady miles despite the conditions but my body is noticing that my running has been inconsistent of late.

Knees and lower back aching a bit now that ski season is here. At least that's what I think is the cause of it.

John Reed Road
Monday, January 2, 2012 at 05:10PM Run: John Reed Road, out to the state police barracks and back.
Distance: 7.2
Time: 55:35/7:43
Thought I wanted to go longer today but my body (specifically my lower back) wasn't feeling it after a week of skiing. Sunny and windy, temp in the 40s very unJanuary-like, More than a dozen kite-surfers were out along Horseneck and Baker's. Way cool.
