I don’t follow the professional running scene much, but congratulations to Desiree Linden, the first female American Boston Marathon winner since 1985! The weather was completely bananas; I’m pretty …

Stepping into the confessional… The majority of my miles are done with the company of my trusty MP3 player. But, I rarely listen to music; I’m big time into podcasts. I’m less likely to zone out …

Things are finally starting to get warm again in Brentwood. The day time temps are in mid to high 70s. More importantly, the morning temperatures have been in the mid 50s. After an eternity of cold …

Running up on wildlife in my early morning runs is nothing new. I see and hear all sorts of critters skittering off into the shadows as I plod my way along. Thankfully, I still haven’t met up with any …

On Wednesday, March 21, I marked the completion of 1 year of running every day. No days off. Yes, those numbers are accurate; all runs are cataloged in my Garmin Connect profile. Even I know how much …

Confession time. I try to treat my feet right and replace my running shoes every 300 to 400 miles like I’m supposed to, but I use the excuse that I treat my shoes super nice to string them out as long …

These days, I mostly run the same route each day; most of the time in the early morning, way before sun up. Despite feeling like I’m half awake when running on the early shift, I’m so used to my route …

The Mrs asked me what I wanted to for xmas. Hmm, replace my dead mp3 player? Another pair of shoes? Better running gloves? Decisions, decisions. I’m really bad about safety gear. I used to wear a …

I normally run really early in the morning. I’m out the door by 4:15, when I can talk my body into it. Most of the time time, it’s pretty much just me and the road. But sometimes, I stumble on other …

SanDisk Clip Jam 8Gb 2/10/17 - 11/17/17 I was listening to podcasts (my normal persuasion) and the player started to make a crackling noise in the headphones. Then it skipped a bit, then dead air. …

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 …

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 …
