As part of my renewed interest in getting healthy, I have started to read Runners World again. Since I've mostly not been running the last 4 years, I've also mostly not been reading Runners World. As I was perusing the new March 2017 issue, one of the columns really spoke to me. It is called [...]

Bye Bye 2015, Hello 2016
January 24, 2016 – Posted in: UncategorizedYes, I'll be the first to admit that my blogging in 2015 was pathetic. Only 3 posts all year. However, I'm still interested in using this site to try and keep some semblance of Wordpress and website hosting technical skills. After all, my day job is in IT. 2015 was a roller coaster year in terms [...]
What I’ve been up to
May 10, 2015 – Posted in: UncategorizedSince I've been pleased with where my running is at these days, it occurred to me that I should put an update on the blog! About 3 years ago, in early May 2012, I pulled my calf, starting a downward spiral of injuries and since then I've had a hard time shaking a litany of [...]
Still Love Runmeter
February 19, 2015 – Posted in: UncategorizedWas just looking through some old stuff on my blog and came across this posting from almost 4 years ago (!) where I professed my love for Runmeter. I'm happy to say that I still think it is an awesome app. They keep adding great functions to it, and I gladly pay $5 annually for [...]
Running Outdoors Again!
September 28, 2012 – Posted in: UncategorizedYesterday I ran outside, for the first time since late June. It was awesome! And awful! At the same time. The awesome part was that I was, like I said, running outside for the first time since late June, and also because I was able to maintain 8:30 pace for 3 miles. The increase in [...]
Training update
September 25, 2012 – Posted in: UncategorizedI've been continuing to step up my treadmill training. I'm still focusing on running less and running faster, with the running faster meaning training at interval pace for half mile intervals on the treadmill. The treadmill is helping to ensure I keep pace accurately, and the softer surface is helpful as I start to build [...]
Lots of Activity, then Smart Rest
September 12, 2012 – Posted in: UncategorizedMy last treadmill run was all the way last Thursday (today being the following Tuesday). After 3 treadmill workouts in the prior week, I wanted my legs to be nice and rested for my personal trainer session Monday morning. Between the yardwork I did on Sunday, and a set of varying physical activities on Monday, my [...]
Dreaming of my next marathon
September 8, 2012 – Posted in: UncategorizedI'm really getting the itch to run another marathon. My last one, Georgia's Marathon, was all the way back in March, and it was wholly unsatisfying, as the hills and heat made the race really tough, and it turned out to be my 'modern day' worst marathon, at 5:12. My only worse showings were my [...]

Consuming
April 22, 2011 – Posted in: UncategorizedToday I played the role of a healthy triathlete consumer :) I spent a little time at the JackRabbit New York City Running Show. What drew me in was the Atlantic City style payment. Yes you have to pay $10 to get in, but you get a $15 discount card, and since I was going [...]
