http://www.robertnelson.com/running my training, thoughts and running goals Mon, 13 Oct 2008 15:47:13 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I ran, or I suppose I should say that I attempted to run the John Holmes 50k trail run on Saturday and once again I went home with a DNF. This was my third time at this event and this DNF is even more disappointing that last years. You see, I ... http://www.robertnelson.com/running/2008/10/13/third-time-is-not-always-the-charm/ So...over time this site went downhill and was almost fully retired, but as an endurance athlete (and blogger) I knew that I would eventually come back here with a new way to test myself. I was getting kind of bored writing here and I figured that when I was bored ... http://www.robertnelson.com/running/2008/10/06/join-me-as-i-train-for-the-keys-100-ultra-marathon/ Another fine run, well actually better than fine. Conditions were great! I have continued to run without my Nike+ and without even a watch, just my Shuffle for some music. Yesterday there was almost no humidity and the temps were in the mid-70's with a cloud cover, slight breeze and ... http://www.robertnelson.com/running/2007/10/25/10242007-run/ Another run without any special devices, well other than my iPod Shuffle for some music along the way. I ran just about 4.5 miles and it felt great. My body has recovered from my 50k attempt, other than my feet being sore with some blisters I would say I am ... http://www.robertnelson.com/running/2007/10/23/10232007-run/ My 2nd daughter was born September 1st, she was (and is still) happy and healthy and I became very busy very quick :) I ran my 50K on the 13th of October and was sick at mile 28 and went DNF. Sadly I had just under 3 miles left. I will ... http://www.robertnelson.com/running/2007/10/20/in-short/ So lately I have been seriously slacking on blogging. Its not due to lack of training or want, I like the comments and emails I get from people who stop by and I need to continue my part. I have just been feeling busy and spending a lot of time ... http://www.robertnelson.com/running/2007/08/30/my-slacking-off-and-another-persons-venture-philly-to-la-on-foot/ Well, Thursday was a planned day off and I had intended to run Friday afternoon, except the thunder and lightning came. So I took that as a day off, no sense getting hit by lightning. :) Today, Saturday was a Bike/Run day. My run was just a short, slow run. I ... http://www.robertnelson.com/running/2007/08/27/08252007-bike-run/ Tomorrow (Thursday) is a planned day off, and I will run again Friday afternoon. I hit and just passed the 4 mile mark today and felt great. I have been running in the evening this week and it feels strange. Different people out and about, kind of nice it ... http://www.robertnelson.com/running/2007/08/27/08222007-run/ Another great run, slightly longer than yesterday but still under 4 miles. http://www.robertnelson.com/running/2007/08/27/08212007-run/ Its been a week off, one that I had planned just due to a schedule change and lack of time. It felt good to be back. http://www.robertnelson.com/running/2007/08/27/08202007-run/
