Well, great news to share…..While I haven’t posted of late, I have been
running and I have been given the “Green Light” to return to running. I
had to stop running in around mid June due to some possible health
conditions at that time. Health conditions regarding my heart. Well,
after being poked, prated, scaned and exrayed, the conclusion is that
“I do have a heart”!
I was told to return to running and exercising and that is what I am

I haven't been posting anything lately about running or racing. I have had to put a hold on all running and racing until further notice. After having some tests, there is an issue that I am having looked into. Will post an update when I can. Happy running to everyone! Tim

I know that I haven't been on in a while.  Sorry for that.  Been busy with new career and my running has halted for now.  But, I paln on soon getting the feet movning again.  Hope all are having great holidays!

Well, I was to do a 5k race this weekend.  Got a nasty head cold so, it's a bust!  Not what I want to do, but the last time I ran when I felt like this, I got worse.  So on to the next!

I have discovered some really good sports drinks that are available. These are no-nonsense drinks that really deliver what they say! If you want energy, you'll get it and if you want hydration, you will get it!

The drinks are called: Liftoff - (Energy drink) available in Lemon Lime Blast and Ignite-Me Orange

H30 - (Hydration) Lemonaide and Orangeaide

If you want more information on these drinks, feel free to
email me at timabeck@verizon.net anytime.

I'm sorry that I haven't posted in a while, with heat, busy schedules and Foster Care, I haven't been able to run much for the last 2 weeks. I am currently preparing for a race this weekend. This race is a 4 miler, which I think I will do fine in. I went running this morning and only ran 2 miles, but, I could tell that I wasn't in too bad of shape for being off for a little bit. I took it slow and easy and did 2 miles in 24 minutes. The finish time was not the objective for this mornings run. I'll get back to you on
the stats for Saturday. Have a great week!

I ran 2 miles this morning in very light rain. I wasn't really concerned with the time except to know when I started and finished for the purpose of logging it. It was a 22 minute run. I ran light and easy. Upon nearing home, it got very humid as the rain ended. The legs felt real good especially since this past Sunday was the 10k. I found myself running up the hill to our driveway like never before. Wow, Couldn't believe it. Was a good run as short as it was. I am due for a 7 miler very soon. Perhaps this weekend. Got to get back on track to reach 13 miles by mid August.

This morning in State College PA, at Penn State University, I ran in the Nittany Valley Arts Festival 10k with a finish time of 01:08:45 which means I met my goal time of 01:09:00. My worst time for this race was 01:13. I haven't yet seen the overall stats for the race and am waiting to see the placings. They should be available soon. When finishing the race, I noticed that my legs were really holding out better than previous times at this race. Before the race, I handed out free samples of a free sports drink to 25 lucky people. That went well.

This morning, I decided to do a 3 mile run. The run consisted of 3 parts. These parts are hills, tempo runs, and medium to high cruising runs. I started out by running down the hill from our driveway, right into a medium cruising run. Then on the next street, I did a short tempo run. After crossing the next street after that I did another tempo run but at full power followed by a short walk and then another tempo up a hill but not at full power. Then I crossed the bridge and ran down and did some cruising.
