Simon Says...Run

I’ve just been focusing on recovering from Saturday’s half marathon. Sunday I ran an easy 5 miles. Monday and Tuesday I ran 6 miles in the m...

As I mentioned Friday, I could pretty much pencil in a 1:24 for this race. Now just add an oh-six to the end and you’re there; 1:24:06, cou...

About this time of year, winter starts to drag, base-training starts to drag, work starts to drag (wait, that’s year-round)...anyway, you ge...

I really try not to let work get in the way of blogging – especially two days in-a-row. But I’m out of luck. Lots going on – a half marath...

Since my last post talked about being interviewed for this article on winter running, I thought I’d start by posting the story. I think th...

Quick training update; yesterday I ran an easy 6 miles in the morning. I've also been trying include some type of tempo run during the w...

It’s kind of hard to explain, but I feel as if I have a better sense of my training this winter. I’m not following a schedule, per se, but ...

After Saturday's run I had a blog entry in my head - talking about how fit I am. But it's really hard to talk about myself after wha...

To listen to the local weather forecasters, you’d think we were in the middle of an ice age. Sure the temperatures “plummeted” overnight. Ho...

As I build my mileage, I gradually add in more-and-more miles as I adapt. I can do this a number of ways; add a little mileage to some of m...

I haven’t run yet today, but I wanted to write a short post based on an article I read the other night. Back in my dark day – when I was doi...

As Sara pointed out in a comment, describing my knee as “fine” doesn’t really convey lots of meaning. The good news is that it doesn’t hurt...

On Friday, I figured; “What good is a cutback week without a day off?” So I took the day off. Saturday was a nice 14 mile group run from Ft...

I either have writer’s block or I’m just unmotivated to blog. I guess that means I’m sticking to the first half of my New Year’s resolution ...

I’m not sure to expect this week – running-wise. My right knee has been feeling weird, off-and-on, lately. After Sunday night’s 13 mile ru...

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, er, I mean white New Year. We finally got some snow yesterday afternoon - just in time for a bunch o...

After keeping my mileage in the low-80s for 4 of the last 5 weeks, I decided to squeeze in another 5-mile run last night. That run will (hop...

Alright, I finally made it through Sport Illustrated’s top-20 list, so I thought I’d better get back to blogging. I’m off from work this we...

Hopefully this post won’t get “lost” due to the holidays. This just in: Carrie Tollefson is attractive . I know, I know, it shocked the hell...

I don’t really have anything exciting to talk about today. I was thinking a little bit more about my excuse list and how it compares to Br...
