Friday Feb. 29

Today was an exciting day of running 5 miles on a treadmill. I was one of only 3 people in the entire gym, the only one on a Treadmill, bike, or Elliptical. The run went fine, no cramps, no soreness. I kept a nice steady pace, all and all a much better day than Wednesday.

Until tomorrow,

Day 3

Day 3 was the absolute worst day for running ever. I was suppose to run 4 miles. It was 15 degrees with a 0 degree wind chill. But the weather was the least of my worries. I don't know what Dave did to me yesterday but my legs were not into it today. I could tell from the get go that it was gonna be a long, dreadful 4 miles. But I plugged away and at about the 3 miles mark I got the WORST CRAMP EVER, in my calf. I tried to stretch it out I got a cramp in my quad. So I limped my way to my door step. It was crappy, but hopefully that will be the one and only time it happens.

Thursday will be my favorite days of the coming weeks because they are OFF DAYS!!!!!!!!! Runners get excited about off days. Well People who pretend they are runners get excited about off days...i.e. ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Until another day,


Bryan

Hello World

Hello Everyone, as some of you may know my name is Bryan Reese, and in June of 2008 I will be running my first marathon... I know I'm an idiot. I kinda stole this idea from my good friend Dave Balow, to start a blog. Dave and I are both running the Marathon, so this way we don't have to talk everyday, we can still keep track of how each other is doing. I also figured that by doing this blog I would have a easy way to track myself through the journey and maybe someday if my wife decides to scrapbook this she will have some place to pull quotes from.


Today was Day 2 of my 17 week program. It required me to run 2 miles. Which really isn't that far. The before mentioned Dave, came over and ran the 2 miles with me before we sat our butts down from high paced games of NHL 2008. It was a good run nothing special. We were both a little winded, as it was a little on the cold side, and the first mile of our run was directly into the bitterly cold wind. All in All a good day. Time to go rest myself for the 4 miles of H E Double Hockey Stick tomorrow.


Until Then,


Bryan
