Town Loop 5k: Getting some good runs in before the shin splints set in. Is it too much to ask that I skip that part this time? I’d be a miracle. It seems I go through it every time I take a week or two or more off from running. #Prayers. . . #DieEveryDay #DieEveryDayFitness #RunFatBoyRun #NeverGiveUp #RunnersLife #NeverBackDown #KillItEveryDay #DownShifter #Nike #CamelBak #NoExcuses #100to0 #SpartanUp #EmbraceTheSuck #ObstacleImmunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CClRFScjbDk/?igshid=1ers3bpn7aqka

Town Loop 5k: . “We ALL look away from the things we can’t bare to face! (Whether external or internal). All men look away! That’s the difference between a regular man and a KING! Kings DO NOT ever look away! -Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey- King Arthur: Legend of the Sword . Thanks for the words of encouragement yesterday Paul and Jim. It’s exactly what I needed to take a hard look at where I was failing myself. Although my diet isn’t making me sick it still wasn’t on par with what my body needed for PROGRESS. I ate well last night. Cutting way back on beer and added a lot of greens and fiber. ***EARMUFF WARNING*** Today was the first run in weeks I didn’t feel like I was going to $@#+ my pants the whole time. Got a good 5k under my belt before the usual problems set in. SHIN SPLINTS COME AND GET SOME! I’M READY!!! . . #DieEveryDay #DieEveryDayFitness #RunFatBoyRun #NeverGiveUp #RunnersLife #NeverBackDown #KillItEveryDay #DownShifter #Nike #CamelBak #NoExcuses #100to0 #SpartanUp #EmbraceTheSuck #ObstacleImmunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CCa67tdjnYU/?igshid=oxgiay0wly3e

Town Loop 5k: I’ve definitely hit a wall. I had hernia surgery back around the beginning of the year and everything has been fine. But after last weeks run I had some sharp pains on my left side abdomen reminiscent of the pre-surgery pains I was having. I have a doctors appointment coming up but amongst other issues with my gut running has become difficult in a way I’ve not had overcome before. Feeling my age and not because I just turned 44. . . #DieEveryDay #DieEveryDayFitness #RunFatBoyRun #NeverGiveUp #RunnersLife #NeverBackDown #KillItEveryDay #DownShifter #Nike #CamelBak #NoExcuses #100to0 #SpartanUp #EmbraceTheSuck #ObstacleImmunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CCYY6Imj-7H/?igshid=1tyrk257ikxdx

Town Loop 5k: I had a really good first two miles but had to run through some fairly agonizing shin splints the last 1.11. Listening to some “Elements” by Toby Mac and pushing through like a beast (albeit slowly) and finishing anyway. . “I might bend but I won’t break. I fight the elements. And ima go down swinging. If I go down. LETS GO !!!” -TobyMac- . . #DieEveryDay #DieEveryDayFitness #RunFatBoyRun #NeverGiveUp #RunnersLife #NeverBackDown #KillItEveryDay #DownShifter #Nike #CamelBak #NoExcuses #100to0 #SpartanUp #EmbraceTheSuck #ObstacleImmunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CBf04xOj--d/?igshid=tktw4q51zhpr

Town Loop 5k: My ankle is feeling much better. I’m still having some joint pain but I think I need to embrace it, push through it and conquer it! Ending the week on a good note. I’m hoping for faster, longer runs next week. . . #DieEveryDay #DieEveryDayFitness #RunFatBoyRun #NeverGiveUp #RunnersLife #NeverBackDown #KillItEveryDay #DownShifter #Nike #CamelBak #NoExcuses #100to0 #SpartanUp #EmbraceTheSuck #ObstacleImmunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CBS9HTijbS0/?igshid=ohem1x5hwmw0

Town Loop 5k: Started out feeling in every joint but by the end I felt stronger than I have all week. Good run today! . . #DieEveryDay #DieEveryDayFitness #RunFatBoyRun #NeverGiveUp #RunnersLife #NeverBackDown #KillItEveryDay #DownShifter #Nike #CamelBak #NoExcuses #100to0 #SpartanUp #EmbraceTheSuck #ObstacleImmunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CBQXCUvARTw/?igshid=fgfi75t11gxm

Town Loop 2.25miles: A coworker brought Taco Bell in for everyone last night. (**Dramatic Pause while y’all absorb that**). Needless to say my run was, ummm, uncomfortable. We’re NOT talking about it. But that wasn’t even the worst of it. RunKeeper crashed again and only recorded 0.13 miles. It’s not just RunKeeper apparently though. All my apps keep crashing. I manually entered a fairly accurate distance but I’m not at all sure of my time. . . #DieEveryDay #DieEveryDayFitness #RunFatBoyRun #NeverGiveUp #RunnersLife #NeverBackDown #KillItEveryDay #DownShifter #Nike #CamelBak #NoExcuses #100to0 #SpartanUp #EmbraceTheSuck #ObstacleImmunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CBN2samj40f/?igshid=zjmuunkil2xn

Town Loop 5k: RunKeeper paused less than half a mile in so I have no idea what my pace was. To make things worse, when I logged it I didn’t put a time on it so it recorded it as my fastest 5k. Ugh. Good run though. Ankle was still a bit sore after resting three days and doing the whole preheating and post ice. By the end of the run it went away and I feel like I was able to pick up the pace. I feel an excellent week coming on! . . #DieEveryDay #DieEveryDayFitness #RunFatBoyRun #NeverGiveUp #RunnersLife #NeverBackDown #KillItEveryDay #DownShifter #Nike #CamelBak #NoExcuses #100to0 #SpartanUp #EmbraceTheSuck #ObstacleImmunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CBLOp0Vjmmr/?igshid=11l3q4q7804p5

Delhi Loop Shortened 1.5 miles: Only ran the first half of this super slow one and a half miles. My ankle that I severely twisted (trying to play Superman over a large patch of ice) two February’s ago flared up. I did complete my week though. Two rest days with periodic heat (to loosen up my ankle muscles/tendons), calf raises (to strengthen the injury) and then ice (to reduce swelling after the MINOR exercise). Hopefully I’ll be back out there Sunday morning! . . #DieEveryDay #DieEveryDayFitness #RunFatBoyRun #NeverGiveUp #RunnersLife #NeverBackDown #KillItEveryDay #DownShifter #Nike #CamelBak #NoExcuses #100to0 #SpartanUp #EmbraceTheSuck #ObstacleImmunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CBA_8PXjNna/?igshid=44z6n9ux0ytd

Covered Bridge Run. 6.22 miles: Rough going from .5 to 1.5ish. Settled into a slow 11:30 minute miles pace after that and finished uphill and strong.

Town Loop 2.22 mile walk with Justin today. This guy right here really destroyed me today! Those long legs kept a 9.30 ten minute mile for the first mile that had me pounding my legs to pieces. I guess I wasn’t ready for that yet. But the shin splints started to fade and we ended the run with a nice sprint uphill though.

1.75 mile walk with my wife today. Didn’t run but I’ll tell ya what I did do. Rest day? Ha! Nope. I’ve been busy the last five days breaking my body working on my bathroom renovations, building vegetable beds, filling those beds, laying mulch, and getting vegetables in the ground. Out of bed every day around 5:30 am and working the kinks and cramps out of my body and exerting myself in ways a run doesn’t. Still got four and a half miles in yesterday and there will be more! Exercise=Energy. If you haven’t got enough energy than you’re not exercising enough. Period. Now go get it! . . #DieEveryDay #DieEveryDayFitness #RunFatBoyRun #NeverGiveUp #RunnersLife #NeverBackDown #KillItEveryDay #DownShifter #Nike #CamelBak #NoExcuses #100to0 #SpartanUp #EmbraceTheSuck #ObstacleImmunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CA5JnAkDgnu/?igshid=5gc31rtqwk9q
