Today On The Run #2
I’m pretty thankful to have the time, energy, and fitness to run as much as I do. It also doesn’t hurt that I live in an area where it’s pretty feasible to run all year round. So, I rack up a lot of mostly trouble free miles. A lot, in this case means, more than 3,000…

Today On The Run #1
Welcome to a new series on the blog, Today On the Run. Just short quips from the today’s (or yesterday’s) run. I’m putting them here so they’re a little easier to read in serial fashion and not limited to just 140 characters. Here we go, Today On the Run #1. In the middle of my run,…

This Week in Running – v9
Preface Ooops. I sort of drop off the planet there for a while. Unfortunately, my weekends have been tied up with other matters and I haven’t had a chance to put together weekly recaps. But, fear not! While the writing paused, the running kept chugging right along. On the Road Week 6 I ratcheted up…

This Week In Running – v5
On the Road Another week of fairly uneventful base runs. 5 editions of my regular 5.9 mile route. Its nice to see the time ticking down bit by bit every day. I’m not really fixated on weight, but I’m pretty sure that’s going down, too; but our scale is a box somewhere that I haven’t…

That moment…
That moment when you’re going out to run at 4:21AM and you pass another run finishing up their run. Whoa.

This Week In Running – v4
Nope, I haven’t dropped off on running, but I did stop manually updating on dailymile.com. You can now follow me at the Garmin site, instead. Its been another wet week. Drizzle is no fun when its 50 degrees and breezy out, morning after morning. When there’s good chance for rain, I usually leave my music…

This Week In Running – v3
Running Mercy, another week gone by already? Time for another update. In a word, miles, lots. 39 to be precise. Monday through Thursday were my previous daily driver route. Friday, I added another 1.3 miles to the daily driver. Saturday was my old long run. Sunday was supposed to be a new long run, but…

This Week in Running – v2
The good: Yep, still at it. Broken 100 miles for this streak on Wednesday. The bad: My back is taking forever to get back normal. Its to the point where it doesn’t bother much or at all during the run. But after I’m done, I look kinda like Edgar the bug from Men in Black…

This Week in Running
The streak lives on. Today was the 21st consecutive day I’ve been running. Had some rough days this week. Last week, I had a non-running related injury to my back (not sitting correctly when holding a squirmy 4 year old during a nebulizer treatment at the dr’s office and strained something in my lower back) Its…

My Triumphant Return
To running that is… The last few years have been a kind of a mess with young kids and that whole relocation across country thing. I won’t lie, food is has been my stress outlet during a lot of it, so on went the pounds. After feeling like a complete lazy slob (as opposed to…
