5' 9", 178lbs, 55 years, Big fan of indoor plumbing! (there's nothing like a nice hot shower after a winter run!)also a happy papa, fisherman, potter, gardener, wood bowl carver and cook, all in good measure.
I'm another of the non schedule types (not to criticize you other sorts at all. My lifestyle is just a bit more spontaneously formatted.) I like to run every other day unless it's just such lovely weather I can't resist adding in another now and then. Lately I've been doing 6 to 8 miles a run and mixing trail and paved runs about 50/50,and BF / VFF often within the same loop.
Weekly I've been getting in 20 to 25 so far this year. I've been taking the Maffetone conversations in and have been trying to run LSD, and keeping my breathing and HR down, yet still trying to have fun and run as freely and keeping myself as "present" as I can.
My running tends to be guided by my racing schedule. I have a fondness for Trail Races, though I'll throw in a road race now and then for fun and as a measure of how my running skills have changed. The only new thing on my schedule so far this year is a 26.2 mile (Bob Potts Marathon, York, PA, a flat, fast out and back on a rail to trail course) race later in May, which will be my first since 1984. It shouldn't be too big a deal, though I'll need to get some longer runs in between now and then.
