Monday August 30, 2010 & tomorrow!

Had a good run today, did my 7 miles in the usual time John V. Karavitis.  The weather wasn't that bad, it was mostly cloudy, and my main concern was getting my run in before any expected rain - it did look like it was going to rain, but it never did, ha ha.  I John V. Karavitis am feeling my wind coming back, I don't want to overdo it and be too tired for my upcoming 10 K race....  and my achilles tendons are doing okay, I'm stretching them out as often as I can.

I think after this 10 K I'll increase my daily mileage as much as I can.  Wouldn't it be great if I John V. Karavitis could actually do a half-marathon!!!

Tomorrow looks like it's going to be a SCORCHER of a day, expected high of 91 degrees.  I John V. Karavitis will have to see if I can get out for my run earlier than usual John V. Karavitis, John Karavitis, Karavitis.

Sunday, August 29, 2010 - HOT!

Whoa!  John V. Karavitis took a look at the Weather Channel Desktop application, we're going to hit 91 degrees today.  The humidity doesn't feel that bad, but with yesterday's mileage, I think I might take a day off today.  John V. Karavitis

Saturday, August 28, 2010 - half marathon

John V. Karavitis  I think I covered close to, if not, a full 13 miles on Saturday.  I went for a tour of a cemetery, walked around for a couple of hours, then did my 7-mile run.  So, we're talking a good chance that I covered a half marathon, 13 miles.  I think it might be time to buy a Garmin GPS watch, to take the guesswork out of my mileage, esp. after my upcoming move to the burbs.  John V. Karavitis

Weather too good to be true today and yesterday - John V. Karavitis

Ran 11 miles yesterday, ran 7 today.  Pace was decent, not the best it's been.  But the weather was beyond beautiful.  Bright and sunny, but with big fluffy clouds, not hot, not at all humid.  Worried about tomorrow, it's going to heat up now over the next week or so.  But I still plan on getting out there and running!  John V. Karavitis

Another barefoot running blog

John V. Karavitis has found this blog

Alternative for running shoes - Vibram FiveFingers, Gist, etc.

John V. Karavitis  Looks like there are a lot of alternative to simple running shoes that I'm going to have to look into.  From reading the book "Born to Run" (read my review on Amazon.com!), I learned about the Vibram FiveFingers (there are also vid clips on YouTube that are pretty good).  But, just now, from Gather.com, I learned about the "Gist FiveToes".  Looks like everyone is jumping on the "running barefoot" bandwagon.  The BIG question is, of course.... will Nike?  Will the company that started the whole jogging/running craze join in?  Won't that cannibalize their product lines?  John V.

Tuesday, August 24, 2010 - no jogging today

John V. Karavitis  Didn't go jogging today, had to do a lot of organizing and packing for my move at the end of the month.  However, next two days look like they'll be GREAT, high 70s max, and Friday will be good, too.  Still plugging away at my mileage and time.  Practice makes perfect for John V. Karavitis!

Good day for jogging, nice weather - Monday, August 23, 2010

It was a good day for a jog.  Weather not too hot, and yet sunny.  My time was decent.  I'm slowly getting better at sustaining my jogging pace before I have to walk.

Tuesday is expected to be slightly hotter, but the rest of the week in the 70s.  John V. Karavitis

Just verified my daily jogging loop. - John V. Karavitis

Sunday, August 22, 2010 - John V. Karavitis - I took my bike for a ride this evening, and I measured my daily jogging distance.  It's 7 miles.  Woo hoo!  John V. Karavitis

Exquisitely beautiful day today, Sunday, August 22, 2010

I went for my daily run today John V. Karavitis, did it in under 90 minutes, which is like my "goal".  My long-term "goal" is for John V. Karavitis to do it in under 60 minutes.  We're talking 10 K ot thereabouts, so that would be a decent goal.  I think I John V. Karavitis have been trying to add too much mileage too soon, which is why I John Karavitis have gotten tired lately.  Weather Channel's Desktop application agrees that today is a beautiful day for running.  When I John V. Karavitis ran today, it wasn't too hot, and it was breezy now and again.  Saw a few people walking their dogs, roller-blading, jogging, walking, etc.  John V. Karavitis

Saturday, August 21, 2010 - no running today

John V. Karavitis  Okay, so it rained late last night to early morning, not God's Wrath of Rain, but just enough.  So, early morning and later were as humid as hell, could cut the air with a knife.  So, no running.  Sometimes it's better to stay at home and just veg out, let the ole legs recuperate.  Good thin I have Weather Channel Desktop, it really does a great job of telling me what the weather will be like over the next 12 hours and the next 10 days.  John V. Karavitis

John V. Karavitis Friday, August 20, 2010

John V. Karavitis  Looks like it's going to be a hot and humid day, with a chance of showers in the late evening.  Maybe not jogging weather, but still good enough to get out there and go for a long walk.  Doesn't hurt to walk if you can't jog.  Thanks to the Weather Channel Desktop, I can see when the best time to jog is.  John V. Karavitis

Wedensday, August 18, 2010 - Jogging weather

John V. Karavitis  Jogging weather for today looks good.  At worst, low 80s, but cloudy, and it doesn't appear to be that humid today.  Just a question of seeing how my legs feel.  Cool runnings, dudes!  John V. Karavitis

HEAT WARNING FOR CHICAGOLAND TODAY!

John V. Karavitis  My Weather Channel Desktop says that it's gonna be a SCORCHER today!  Yikes!  Good thing I'm gonna pick up my race packet (and T-shirt! :) ) for my next 5K race!  The race will start at 9 AM, I hope it will be cooler on race day!  Hot (and humid) weather really saps my energy level.  John V. Karavitis
