More About Coach Calvin And My Running Log

As promised, I have attached part of my running log for two months, February and March of 1999. This was a particularly satisfying time in my running life. I was running fast times despite being over forty years old. 
Regarding Calvin, check out the picture of us running on a nearby trail. I asked this older lady walking on the trail to snap a picture of us with my cellphone and she accidentally got part of her hand in the photo.  Oh well. I have been taking Calvin running with me at least once each weekend for about two months now. He loves to go too! I should record a short video of him expressing his excitement just prior to us hitting the trails. It's really funny. I think he likes running even more than I do.

I have been looking for a nearby race to run sometime in the next three or so weeks on the Hi-tek Racing website. They usually have most of the upcoming races in their running calendar. The Spirit of Spring race in Tolland just happens to be this Saturday and I think I'm going to give it a shot. It's ironic that back in 1999 I did the same race and it's recorded in the attached log. It's a bit hilly in places so it's not a PR type of course. Plus, it's actually 5.1, which is a bit odd for races.  Anyway, happy running.

  1. Thanks for stopping by my blog. To answer your question, I did see you log. I should've commented. Sometimes I'm a lurker. : o). Here are myimpressions:
    1) "wow! You managed to keep a detailed record of your runs from 1999.". I do that now on www.dailymile.com
    2) very impressive pace!

    I skimmed over your log. I probably would pay closer attention to the details, however, if you were a female. I'm competitive in that sense. I would also be more interested in race event results. Why? I'm competitive that way. :o)

    1. RG,

      Hi. I do have some gaps in there, but for the most part, I kept pretty good notes. I'm planning on doing more races this year and doing posts on those events. Stay tuned. Thanks for saying hello.
