Simon Says...Run

Get in Gear was probably my first real deviation from Pfitz’s plan. It’s another month before he starts including races in the plan. He li...

I made it. Barely. No I'm not talking about meeting my goal for the race, I'm talking about the race itself. The start time for thi...

Just a few odds and ends before the weekend. I ran a solid 8 in Hyland with Scott on Thursday. Today I ran an ass-dragging-slow 5 miler thi...

Frequent commentor, Double , always says he knows he’s rounding into shape when he can run a 20 miler at the drop of a hat. I’ve always cou...

Well, I seem to be heading in the right direction. Two weeks ago I ran my first tempo run and averaged 6:50 pace for 4 miles. This morning...

Wow, has it really been 10 days since my last post? I've been super busy at work, but am happy to report that running is still right on ...

There is one thing I forgot to blog about last week. As I was running on the trails of Hyland Park for the first time this year it occurred...

If you’re interested, here’s a nice set of photos from Saturday’s race by Wayne Kryduba . I’m in 11, 33 (along with Nate and Jared) and 77 ...

I finished week #1 of Pfitz's 12-week program with a nice 18 mile day (and 58 miles for the week) that included the Daws 25K "race...

Probably not that big of a deal, but I’m still on track with Pfitz – after 6 days. The last four days have been alternating 11 miles at a mo...

Saturday’s 16 miler gave me 56 miles for the week on 5 days of running. It helps the weekly mileage category when you run long on Sunday an...

I actually did go back and re-read all my Human Race reports since 2005. Last year I ended my report with this; Anyway, normally I bust my a...

I doubt there is another race around that I am more loyal to than the St. Patty’s Day Human Race in St. Paul. For me, it’s usually the first...

The author of one of the blogs I follow recently pulled the plug, saying something about simplifying their life. I like the idea of simplif...

Because he is too modest to say something himself, I’m going to post this Person of the Year link regarding my good friend Jim. I don’t k...

I can't promise that this will be the last thing I mention regarding skiing - at least for this ski season - but it has to be near the e...

Just look at this "flawless" form. Maybe if I got one of those fancy lycra ski suits, I could shave 2-3 minutes off my time. I cou...

It seems like year after year I end up doing a lot of the same races. Around here you've got your Human Race, Get in Gear, Hennepin Lake...

I’ve mentioned some of the emails I’ve received from time to time from companies wanting me to test their products and write a review. Well...

Things seem to be coming around slowly for me. I’ve run 6 days in a row. Believe it or not, that’s a tie for the most since August. My lungs...
