Training Log for the Week of February 9th, 2026

by |Published

My training log for the week of February 9th, 2026 reflect the continuing stress that I am dealing with and that is negatively impacting me. I am visualizing what my life would be like without it and how I would feel.

It’s 68 on February 9th, and that is 16 degrees above normal. After doing P90X3 The Challenge, I ran, and I am sure that the weather had a lot to do with it being a good run.

I was going to run, but did P90X3 X3 Yoga instead. I had my Polar H10 strap on, so it was nice to see my heart rate on the screen.

I modified this workout after I started, and it ended up being about a 45:00 walk with 309′ of elevation gain and about a 35:00 run with 23′ of elevation gain. Just the way that I like it!

Rich Dafter
Prior to May 1985, I was super fit and super healthy, routinely running between 50 to 70 miles a week. Between March 16th and May 5th 1985, I ran 34:32 for 10K, 57:46 for 10 miles, 53:20 for 15K, 27:38 for 5 miles and 16:26 for 5K. I was 34 years old. On May 17, 1985, at around 5:00 PM on a Friday night, I was driving home with my then five year old daughter and we hit a van broadside. The van had been stopped in the left lane of a four lane road with its left blinker on and unexpectedly made a right turn out of the left lane directly in front of us. That accident, although we both survived, in an instant, ruined my health and changed my life. On Sunday, May 19th, I ran the Midland Run 15K (which I had run and eventually would run or try to run, 13 years in a row) and ran 53:03.
