Pick Up the Pace | The Mike Kennedy
https://themikekennedy.wordpress.com/2014/08/14/pick-up-the-pace
You found me. Follow, and I will get you where you want to go. Pick Up the Pace. August 14, 2014. Spoiler Alert: I may get the feels in this post. Today, I wanted to pick up the pace for a number of reasons. I wanted to see if there was a faster pace where I might actually find some comfort running and holding that pace. I needed to get done with the run as there is a lot to do today and Ana and I are both working. Plus, I just felt like kicking a little ass. Follow the link for a demonstration). Enter y...

Terrain Mapping | The Mike Kennedy
https://themikekennedy.wordpress.com/2014/10/04/terrain-mapping
You found me. Follow, and I will get you where you want to go. October 4, 2014. I am increasingly aware of every incline, decline, false flat and terrain change in the surrounding area where I run. I am well aware that if I start and stop from the same spot that I will have an equal amount of decline and incline during the run. That doesn’t stop me from considering the terrain before I depart and thinking about where and when I will hit the hills out on the course. 12 52 / mi. If not, why not? You are co...

The Longest Weekend | The Mike Kennedy
https://themikekennedy.wordpress.com/2014/08/17/the-longest-weekend
You found me. Follow, and I will get you where you want to go. August 17, 2014. This weekend has been on the calendar as long as we have known where Shannon would be going to college. This is the weekend that we move her into her residence hall and she begins her freshman year. We arrived late Thursday night and checked into our hotel exhausted from the drive. We were unconscious before there was time to think of what was ahead. 13′ 38″ / mi. Classic Burger and Milk Stout at Wicked Weed. Newer post →.

You found me. Follow, and I will get you where you want to go. Newer posts →. March 29, 2014. The last 18 years are a blur of activity, growth, milestones, challenges and love. I knew the heartbreak of dropping a little girl at preschool and watching her run off into the classroom without a look back. Then seemingly five minutes later she was heading into the mall to watch a movie with a boy without us. What happened? I have loved every minute of it and look forward to all the pure potential of the future.

In which, I discover Texas is freaking hot… | The Mike Kennedy

You found me. Follow, and I will get you where you want to go. In which, I discover Texas is freaking hot…. August 7, 2014. So Thursday is a run day, but I also had to work and travel and had an evening event. I couldn’t run early because I was up and on the road before 5am. This meant my best opportunity was a lunchtime run in 95 degree heat. As I said, the run/walk did not set any pace records but it was completed and my plan remains intact as I work toward December’s half marathon. Anyone ha...Address...

Home Sweet Home 5k | The Mike Kennedy

You found me. Follow, and I will get you where you want to go. Home Sweet Home 5k. August 12, 2014. The weight is not falling off as fast as I might like. Isn’t that the way it always goes? I am considering adding on some shorter races in preparation for the half marathon to get more participation from family and friends in the training process. I am looking at races like the “UCF 5-miler” and the “Turkey Trot” if anyone has any interest or input. 14′ 06″ / mi. Newer post →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Grand Floridian | The Mike Kennedy

You found me. Follow, and I will get you where you want to go. Author Archives: Grand Floridian. October 4, 2014. It has been a while since I last wrote. You may think that my training ended and I just stopped updating. Not true. I have been busy with work and dealing with a daughter away at college and a son starting to drive. And I have been busy running. I am on the plan to run OUC Orlando Half Marathon in early December. Today was my first 5 mile run of not only the program but my life. 12 52 / mi.

Wind | The Mike Kennedy
https://themikekennedy.wordpress.com/2014/03/30/wind
You found me. Follow, and I will get you where you want to go. March 30, 2014. After mile 5, I decide that if I have any chance of pulling off this brick, I had better turn back. I make a casual u-turn. Enter wind. Simultaneous to the wind hitting me in the chest was the epiphany of this metaphor in my brain. I had many thoughts as I lumbered my bike into the wind for the 5 mile slog to the car to transition into my running shoes. Why is it just appearing now? Remember that I said it was a metaphor?

And swims, and lifts, and yogas, and…. Crazy hard bodyweight and other exercises. On February 12, 2013. Here’s a YouTube Video with lots of crazy hard stuff. Many variations on push-ups, pull-ups, burpees, crunches. Some exercises require a Swiss ball or pull-up bar, but many of them require no equipment. Definitely something to watch when you need inspiration or something to get you out of a rut or inspire you to go to the next level. LA County Ocean Lifeguard Swim Test. On October 13, 2012.
