I dropped Naman off to the airport at around 10:30AM and drove to Granada Park for a flat canal run. My London Marathon training schedule today was to run for an hour and fifteen minutes at an easy pace. I figured I would run at around 8:20 to 8:30 per mile pace to run about […]
Granada Park
Pressure packed long run (not the kind of pressure you are thinking of)
After today’s relatively easy 14-miler run, I have two long runs to go. Next Saturday and the Saturday after will be my longest runs for New York Marathon training. Hopefully the temperature will have cooled to bearable running weather! Lexie with puppy at TNT Tent I started early this morning (around 5:40AM) from Granada Park […]
Long 3-hour canal run in Phoenix
I didn’t sleep well last night. Missy was feeling unsettled and wouldn’t stay put in one spot for more than a minute. She was also whining for a little while. Something was obviously bothering her. We are not sure what it was because by this morning, she was totally fine! The day started early today. […]
Granada Park canal running
For the past few weeks, it has been cold and a bit wet in Arizona (at least by Arizona standards). All of a sudden, it has warmed up. Today, the temperature was in the mid to upper 70s with bright sunshine. I ran for 45+ minutes at Granada Park (canal) while Binita and her mother […]
Drone with a camera mount
Today is Saturday. My Team in Training group meets on Saturday mornings for training runs. I haven’t been going because I maintain my own schedule. Today I decided to go and run for an hour at Granada park. It was nice to see some familiar faces after a long time (Megan, Ali, Emily, Shauna, etc. […]
6th Boston Marathon
I ran today with a couple of Shelly’s friends, Madelyn and Sunny visiting from Kentucky and California respectively. They are absolutely wild and a ton of fun. The F-bomb was flying (and admittedly it was a bit contagious). I am totally impressed with Madelyn’s running achievements; she is running the Boston Marathon for the 6th time […]
Run, dogs, family, friends…LIFE IS GOOD
A bunch of us met up at Granada park this morning to run. It was interval training day for me. After a 10-minute warm-up, I did 4 long intervals of 7-minutes at level 3 and then 3 minutes at level 1 before a 10-minute cool-down. By the 4th interval, I was dying to keep a […]
Cold run at Granada | Quilt from race shirts
It was a routine Sunday morning today; a 1-hour run (7.45 miles) with a bunch of my Ragnar friends followed by a Commuter Sandwich (eggs, goat cheese, bacon) at LGO. The run felt good although my knee was starting to talk to me about 40 minutes into the run. Fortunately, it wasn’t yelling at me; […]
Mallards, Ring-necked Ducks and American Wigeons
Phoenix is fed by a network of canals that you can see as you fly in to town, or if you are driving around. These canals are fed by a series of reservoirs; some dammed and some natural. A bunch of us friends get together frequently at Granada Park and run along the canal. It […]
Granada Run, LGO Breakfast, Sad…
A bunch of folks from my Ragnar Del Sol team (Feb, 2013) showed up for a run at Granada today. I ended up running alone as I had intervals on my schedule. It was near perfect weather conditions. Brett, Chris, Brittney, Maury, Nali and I went to LGO afterwards. Binita also did intervals on the […]
