Simon Says...Run

My last post asked some somewhat rhetorical questions about adding more tempo runs into mix since I seem to respond very well to them. As u...

I have a whole bunch of things to get to today, let’s see how many actually make it into this post. First off, Happy 4th Birthday to my daug...

Let me just say that while I enjoy watching the Tour de France, I do so under the assumption that all the riders are dirty. That way, when ...

Last week I mentioned this Nutritional Survey that my neighbor’s sister is conducting. My neighbor was kind enough to drop off a 6-pack yes...

Vacation is over. Back to the grind. It was a typical vacation. Things moved slowly the first day or two, then before I knew it, it was t...

Well it feels like I’m coming around a little more every day. Yesterday I ran a very easy 6 miles. This morning was supposed to be 5 easy mi...
