Simon Says...Run

I finished up January with an easy 6 miles this morning and 8 miles of stairs and hills this evening with my training group. The group met ...

I ran an easy 6 miles on the treadmill Friday night. Saturday I was hoping to get to practice about 30 minutes before everyone else, since ...

This is how Kinsey and I have been spending a lot of our time this winter - sliding and building snowmen (and forts). The hill in our backya...

Here are some "recent" photos - from Halloween, Christmas and dance class.

I'm still not exactly sure how I got this to work. Somehow I saved the graph as a picture, then I followed Christine's advice and s...

25, 3, 37, 20, 25, 44. No, those aren’t my miles per week – at least not recently. Those numbers represent the temperature during my last ...

Alright, alright, a 440 in 60 seconds is fast. I assume Lydiard was talking about men in their prime. This morning I was trying to think a...

I wanted to sleep in again today, but I managed to roll out of bed for an easy 6 miles. Surprisingly, my legs felt better than yesterday mo...

I did get 5 more miles on the treadmill last night. I mentioned that our new treadmill has a bunch of features (that will probably never ge...

The other day I had a link to the top U.S. marathon times in 2005. I just had a few more comments. Kevin Beck (#121) and Ryan Hill (#61...

After what seemed like 4-5 weeks of the exact same weather (25 degrees in the morning and 30-35 in the afternoon), we finally had a change. ...

“Put up or shut up” was the other title I had in mind for this post. When you’re between seasons, it’s easy to say what you want to accompl...

Saturday morning I met Evan at Lake Nokomis for an 11 mile run down the Minnehaha Parkway, around Lake Harriet and back. That run means I ...

I did jump on the treadmill for 5 more easy miles last night. I’m not sure if I was supposed to meet Scott this morning or not. Last Frida...
