Simon Says...Run

Today I ended my run-less streak at 10 days. What a great day to start running again. I met Mary at Lake Harriett just after 4:30. It was ab...

I’m in the process (although there’s really no “process” associated with it) of taking at least a week off from running. The hardest part ab...

Did I actually break 39 minutes for 10K in Saturday’s race, even though I finished in 39:02? How’s that possible, you ask? Well as I was app...

I slept in this morning thinking I’d run on the treadmill during Monday Night Football. A “funny” thing happened when I got home. I had no d...

Well, the way “everyone” PR’d at Chicago has me considering running it next year. There are quite a few bloggers who raced and I won't ...

I’ve been finding it hard to do speed workouts during the week days lately. Maybe it’s because my training group isn’t getting together any ...

Yesterday I was half-joking when I said “tomorrow I’ll be bitching because it’s too cold.” Well this morning it was 39 degrees with a 20 mph...

I’m beginning to wonder if this is the first year that my coach has added runners to his triathlete group. I’m getting the sense that he’s n...

Well, the good news is that the Twin Cities Marathon wasn’t today. It was 10 degrees warmer this morning and the dew point reached the high...
