I just felt like... training for LHH

 

- The one where I ran around started training for LHH -
A ...  Bearded Runner ADventure   - if you will -    lovingly called a "BR.AD"


Well, today was the day...  the day I have have been working for and believe I am ready for.
"Training" started back up!  
After (basically) taking 2 months off to rehabilitate my left hamstring and work on a new, improved overall training plan, today was the day.   

Why not make it an ADventure, one that takes me around Liberty Hospital Half?
I mean... that's what I am training for, right?   

Real quick...    If you have not signed up yet, you should!   
It's in my home town for 18 years and I love running the streets, I have ran all of them :) 

 


On to the run... 
But first, YOGA !   or what I call yoga.   It's a ~25 minute routine that Kaitlin helped me put together that is strengthening ALL the running things in my body and will prevent further injuries.   I am finally a HUGE believer in doing this before every run and I feel stronger than ever!   There is also the 2x a week specific Strength workouts and time on the bike that are doing wonders as well :)




Bae and I headed out to do a 4+ mile route that took us on a few trails close to the house.  One of the trails is around the back side of Liberty Hospital. 
But first, we gotta get there.

If you don't mind the hills, it's a relatively flat course ...





MADE IT !!! 


Luckily there have only been a few times I needed to go to the hospital and it's great having a top notch facility so close !!!    From possible broken right foot, a rolled left ankle (twice), to a 7mm kidney stone and all the old dude stuff... I have been taken care of.



We headed back towards home through Northwyck Park to hit another trail. 



and after the run Bae and I did some off leash work in the rolling hills by my house that has a nice view of the Hospital.











I LOVE living in Liberty so being an Ambassador for the hometown race is truly an honor. 
Oh, and working with Nathan these last 4+ years has been AMAZING :)

You REALLY should join us at the race!  This is the 5th running and will be AWESOME!

I just felt like... 20 Miles at Mile 0

Image
- The one where I ran 20 Miles at the inaugural Mile 0  Flint Hills Trail Race - A ...    B earded  R unner  AD venture    -  if you will -      lovingly called a " BR.AD " That was a long journey that went by way too quick!   Plans started for this back on November 12th - just 6 days after I finished my target Half Marathon. Jennie invited me to Mile 0, how could I say no?    I needed something for the next training session with Run Coach Nick (PR Project) and even though we discussed doing the 50k, we opted for the 20-mile.  Little did I know that just a few weeks in to training, my Left Hamstring would 'POP' causing severe pain.  From Dec 8th through Dec 20st I "Rested" (just a few easy runs)  with hopes it would heal on its own like it did last time back on Aug 28th just before the finish line at RTP ... Nope, on Dec 21st the Hamstring 'Popped' again, not once but twice in one run :(  Due to these injuries, I had to put my run plans on hold, paus

I just felt like... 2022 in Review

Image
- The one where I where I recap 2022 -  2022 has me (and many others) back to where we started.  It's winter and we just aren't putting in the effort like we have all year, it's a nice break.   The difference for me this year is that I had a slightly longer break than I wanted and it's given me time to reflect and make some changes.   Nothing major, nothing serious, yet things are evolving.  Coming up on 2 years alcohol free this is expected. I will still be out there running the best that I can, my updates will still be on Strava and I still hope to get the opportunity to be an Ambassador again at the many area races!  That is my passion and to be a part of the running community.   Not as The Bearded Runner.... but as Scott. 2022 Stats Bodies Race Company - Ambassador (6 years) Liberty Hospital Half - 5th Year Ambassador Kansas City Marathon - 5th Year Ambassador Des Moines Marathon - 2nd Year Ambassador Eldon Rock Island - 2nd Year Ambassador Frog Hill  Half 5k/1
