My “Unofficial Race”

Ivy Lake/Suncoast 13.1 mile run by gtodd1977 at Garmin Connect – Splits. Last Thursday, I had a very unexpected run….Usually, I run at 5:00-5:30 in the morning, but Kerry had to go somewhere around 9:30 am, and she was taking our youngest daughter with her. Because of that, I was able to take advantage of [...]

A Run At the WhiteHouse

  This was by far my most memorable, grueling “run” for the year. I just finished a 5.5 mile run in a town called WhiteHouse in Westmoreland, Jamaica. This by far was the most challenging, yet most entertaining run I have had in quite some time. We are currently staying at a house that is [...]

Running The Sahara

I had the excuse machine ready. This morning, I did not want to get up and go for a run. I wanted to enjoy sleeping in, and being lazy. But truthfully, whenever I don’t run first thing every morning, the chances of me getting a run in are slim to none. It was round 2 [...]

Back to normalcy…

It’s 7:30 pm on Tuesday, and as I’m writing this blog entry, I feel quite energized. Last night, I went to my bed at 10:00 pm, which is about 2-3 hours earlier than I have for the last two months. The NBA playoffs are over, and besides a day left of hockey, there is nothing [...]
