Simon Says...Run

Luckily, most mornings I’m able to get up and get my run in without much fanfare. Then there are mornings like this morning. As I backed m...

I actually have lots to cover today. Of course, I think it’s all interesting, so I hope you’ll stay with me here. First off, I want to tal...

When I blogged yesterday the plan was to run an easy 5 last night, and then meet up with Scott for a more moderate paced run today and then ...

Another day without much to say. Just an easy 5 miles this morning. I plan on running another 5 miler this evening. It’s always weird when y...

Training seems to be kind of sporadic lately. Being on vacation for 3 days and going to Duluth for another 2 days didn’t help much. It seems...

Well it’s sad; another Grandma’s Marathon has come and gone. At least it looks like I dodged a (weather) bullet by not running. For the se...

Just two easy 5 mile runs today, including some strides during the second run. Normally I don’t bother registering on a website in order to ...

Yes, he’s back yet again. Evan moved about a year ago and he’s been back 4 times already. And it’s not like he just moved to Wisconsin. ...

Well my bike ride home on Friday was a lot better – other than a sore ass from the morning’s ride. I found a side street and was able to avo...

I made it – barely. I decided to park at Lake Nokomis and follow the Parkway to the lakes and onto the Greenway. That was all a piece of cak...

Two weeks in and I missed my first workout. I just couldn’t bring myself to run 10 miles last night with 6 at tempo. The thought of doing ...

Maybe the hardest part about following Daniels (or any other program) is trying to figure out how to manage a group run on Saturday and a ha...

Just a quick note to say be sure and check out my latest interview, this one is with Luke Watson . Also, a couple of weeks ago I was talking...

Here’s the data from yesterday’s workout. It turns out I was off regarding what I ran my second and last mile in. As a result, I ran 39:36 f...

I’m happy to report that workout number two (or Q2, for the week, as Daniels would say) went better than I thought. It called for a warm-up...

In my mind, I’m a ripped 25-year-old professional runner doing everything possible to squeeze out every second of every race. In reality, I’...

So it appears over 500 people didn’t mind paying $65 (early registration) to $95 (race day registration) for the new local half marathon. I...

I mentioned in my last post that my first hard workout for TCM fits in nicely with a 30K. Actually it probably would have fit in better with...

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...
