Well I ran a 5K this morning. It was pretty hilly too. I ran it in 25:03. That's 5:00 minutes better from my 5K when we had the nike challenge. I'm pretty proud of myself.

I ran a 5k Saturday morning in 19:35 which is more than a minute and a half faster than my previous PR. I was hoofin' it, but still had to wonder if the course was a little short.

It was a Boise State fundraiser and they had the football team there signing autographs afterward so I had them sign my number. Ian Johnson asked me how I did and I told him my time. He said "these people are better athletes than we are." Of course he was just being nice, but it made an old guy like me feel good.

Nice! You're in BigPiney territory there.

I ran two 5k's since Saturday.

Saturday morning I pushed my son in a stroller for 5k, and ran it around 41 minutes. This morning I ran another one, not stopping the whole time and clocked in at about 34:45. I expect to see my time continue to drop as I can build my base up, as well as work on running further distance-wise as well.

What can I say, I'm fat and out of shape, but I'm getting there.

Any sign of overuse injuries?

I've been very mindful of my shins and knees. I started having shin splints the first couple of weeks but learned to massage them out as well as taking some ibuprofen and I haven't had any pain sense. I mean, i logged 42 miles last week and no pain throughout the week.

and thanks for the encouragement. I can't think of missing a day anymore. Had you told me last year I would be (able to run) running this much I would have passed out due to laughter.

I started running around this time last year and spent just under 4 months injured off and on. Your heart and lungs are ready to be pushed long before your legs can handle it. I've learned the hard way that I'm not 21 anymore and have had to cut back on the mileage many times. That said, I feel good and am enjoying the sport immensely. My prediction for fuegote is that in Jan. of next year you'll weight about 190 pounds or less.

that's my goal. If I could get down to 190, I think I would cry.
