Running Wrap Up 2006
Introduction Ok, its time for a 2006 recap. I’ve been dragging my feet on starting this write up because I keep threatening myself to work in just one more run. But, unfortunately, I’ve been sick for the last few days and not in any shape to run. Guess there’s no reason to delay any longer……

Jingle Bell Run 2k6
The Arthritis Foundations’ Jingle Bell Run was Sunday. Took a look outside about 11am and it looked pretty ok outside. I left for Onondaga Lake Park at about noon. Hmm, drizzle all the way down. Wait a second, that’s not just drizzle, there’s some snow mixed in. I was planning on wearing shorts and a…

Yar, Busy Busy Busy
Haven’t had time to sit down and do any writing lately, between work, exercise, visiting relatives, and some side projects. Exercise-wise (man, that’s a nice domain. nuts, its already taken.) I’ve been trying out some new stuff. Turns out I messed myself up a bit in the final stretch at the ARC Run half marathon.…

20 Running Rules
Larry was kinda enough to share this great list from the Runners World forums. Don’t be a whiner. Nobody likes a whiner, not even other whiners. Don’t make running your life, make it part of your life. When doing group runs, start on time no matter who is missing. Don’t compare yourself to other runners.…

ARC of Onondaga County Half Marathon 2006
Earlier in the week, I was hedging on doing this race. My left foot was bothering me a bit. Not so much when I’m running, but afterward. I think it was me gunning a little too hard on my Monday fun run. Sticking to my normal 6 milers at the Y during the work week…

Quick Running Stats Now in Sidebar
I’m slowly but surely getting up to speed on hacking WordPress. Today, I added some quick running stats to my side bar. Just about as easy as it gets. I made it so my run log database manager program prints the desired content to a file. Then I just call it in the WordPress sidebar.php…

Ah, Saturday Morning Runs
I had a particularly good running week, getting in 6 miles at the Y each day. I was pretty worn out during Friday’s run. But, when I was done, I was feeling great and very glad I stuck it out. Friday night, unfortunately, between work and running, I was pretty much spent. I half fell…

What A Run
So, Saturday morning, I wake up looking forward to a nice long run. Its about 5:45, so I figure I’ll try to wake up a bit (well, my digestive system at least). Good time to swap the music on the mp3 player. I’m getting a little bored with Avenged Sevenfold anyway. Ok, things are going…

Boilermaker 2006, Let the Good Times Roll
After a fairly restless night, its finally Boilermaker morning. I set my alarm for 4:45, but snapped wide awake at 4:30. Oh well, a few more minutes to make sure I don’t do something stupid like leave my number or chip behind. A quick run through the shower, then its load up time. I was…

Boilermaker Expo
Made it out to the Expo yesterday. This is gonna be my 4th boilermaker, but my first Expo. Enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere compared to the general insanity of race day. Still amazed to see just how well organized the boilermaker team is. Bravo! New to me was the station for verifying the working order of…
