Simon Says...Run

One more thing regarding Monday’s 5K; it turns out that listening to Matt Tegenkamp talk about being able to grind out the last 800-1000 met...

Racing is a hell of a lot more enjoyable when I can manage my expectations more reasonably. For example, had I told Eric that I was planning...

After posting about my sore toe yesterday, I thought I’d better take a closer look at it. It’s actually my middle toe not my ring toe. And t...

Because Adam likes pictures (and because I don’t have much to say), here’s another look at my 7-day rolling mileage; Running is in blue and ...

I didn’t make it onto the treadmill for another run last night. Amy was gone and Katie was having a hard time falling asleep, so I didn’t wa...

Well I’m definitely in a routine. Even though I tried to sleep in an extra 25 minutes today, I was still awake by 4:50. The last 3 days (w...

I’ve mentioned how much I enjoy running on trails before, but Saturday’s group trail run was rather frustrating. The leader of our group ve...

Another beautiful morning, another great trail run. Today Scott joined me for at least 8 miles – throw in a mile with the dog and I had 9 f...

Wow, mention the word “Garmin” and suddenly I’m the most popular blogger around. I wonder what would happen if I started throwing words like...

Building back up is almost as boring as tapering – not a whole lot to write about. Saturday I ended up running 12 miles – giving me 57 miles...

Yesterday was a good day. I was finally able to re-join my college friend/teammate, Scott, for a run. Scott and I had been meeting once a ...
