Treadmill Eternity
This weekend I was able to make it out on Saturday at 7:00am for ride. Jason had invited Kirk Romanotto, to join us for the ride or at least part of it. Kirk has not ridden in years. He use to race with us back in the 90's, but since then, there has not been a lot of riding. I was skeptical going out with him. So I chose a route through town and onto the bike path. I thought this would … [Read more...]
20 Down 26.2 To Go
Three weeks and one day until the Boston Marathon! Things could be better, but I did a 17 mile run last week, and I wanted to run 20 on Saturday.

The we ran down Spaulding Orchard to Cokrell Lane. Ran behind Panther Creek to Koke mill … [Read more...]
Walking Demons
A funky week. Trying to allow enough time between hard running efforts I had to run my race pace 13.1 miler on Sunday late afternoon. Since I wouldn't be running the Lincoln Half Marathon this would be my half marathon race of the year.

St. Patrick’s Day 5K Report
By Adam Hawkins The St. Patrick’s Day 5K was held on March 14, 2010 in Bloomington, Illinois. This was my second consecutive year running this race. I stopped to get gas in Forsyth on my way north to Bloomington and realized something…it was COLD! Was it this cold in Illiopolis? It didn’t feel like it when I walked to the car. Am I gonna freeze? Crap. My GPS got me to the VFW Hall in Bloomington, … [Read more...]
March Madness
The time change occurred over last weekend so now there should be enough daylight after work to get in some bike miles. I took advantage of the warmer temperatures and daylight on Tuesday and got out for a 16 mile ride toward Salisbury. My friend Kirk was supposed to accompany me but he was also a victim of those blasted cinders. My legs were still sore from Sunday. Wednesday was a bit of … [Read more...]
