My training log for the week of December 8th 2025 begins on my 75th birthday and ends with me finally getting past the drug interaction. I had hoped to do a good run to celebrate another birthday milestone, but I ended up not even running for 20:00…

Today was 20:00 of Dig In and 20:00 of running to start the new streak. This is all the snow I could find left over from last Thursday!

Another age-group 1-mile PR even with challenging conditions on the trail!

Another age-group 1-mile PR, even with challenging conditions on the trail!

After some good news from the doctor, I went home and ran. It was a little longer today but a little slower because of “treacherous” trail conditions!

I never thought that I would be saying that I liked a Shaun T workout, but I do like Dig In. There, I said it!
Saturday December 13th, 2025
I learned a big lesson about drug interactions, and except for being disabling for a few days, it was a good lesson. At 75, being a runner is not just about running. I have been strength training more often since last Wednesday and now it is an established part of my training (as it should have been all along). Today I finished Phase 1 of Dig In, and even got a Badge for doing it!
It actually seems that “there are more ways than one to skin a cat” probably refers to a “catfish”. That means that I can use it to describe my walk then run as being more than one way to get back into running shape.
