Simon Says...Run

I’m up to 48 miles in the last 7 days. Nothing spectacular, but I have to start somewhere. The important thing is to build off of it. Whe...

First off today, happy 13th anniversary to my wife – that means we’ve been together 16 years total. Hard to believe anyone could put up wit...

I'm going to close out the week by sharing an article I recently wrote for MDRA. On the beaten path by Chad Austin For as long as I can...

Too many people ran well at Grandma’s to cover them all in one post. Congrats to Erin who inspired this article . I don’t know if she foll...

Well, that didn’t last long. Three days after posting that I may not race in 2011, I jumped into Grandma’s Marathon. At the time I knew I ...

I've been joking that I need to find some slower friends before I run the Grand Canyon again. However, really I just need to put forth a...

If you’ve been reading along for awhile you probably realize that my training for rim-to-rim-to-rim has mainly consisted of a few back-to-ba...

It’s been awhile. A couple of weeks ago I had a bunch to say, but no time to get things written. Last week I had time, but forgot all the th...

While it feels like I aged 8.5 years over the weekend, the title of this post doesn’t refer to me turning 50. I’m referring to the 50 miles ...

I’m trying to determine if it’s good or bad that I don’t have some massive weekend of training to report. On one hand it’s probably a good ...

You’ve heard of “You get what you pay for.” Well after skiing last weekend’s Birkie , I realized it’s really “You get what you train for.”...

My recent MPW build-up looks like this; 20, 43, 48, 61, 53. I was feeling pretty tired last week, so I had no problems backing down to 33 mi...

I came across this interesting tidbit the other day; “Only ten miles from rim to rim as the crow flies, the North Rim is 215 miles (about 4 ...

I’m so out of touch with my blog that I can’t remember what I’ve written lately. As Beth pointed out, my reference to R-cubed wasn’t very c...

Well, it’s on. After my initial trepidation, I signed up for R-cubed. And by “signed up” I mean bought a plane ticket. Immediately after ...

With a new year on the horizon, I’ve decided to reconsider pulling the plug on R-cubed. If there’s one thing I learned in 2010, it’s that l...

I made it 23 miles in my first week back and then my shin started to feel weird again, so I decided to shut running down for awhile. The goo...

With the shin problems, Thanksgiving, and busy time at work, I ended up taking a week-and-a-half off. The good news is that the shin feels ...

This time of year is always busy for me at work and this year has been no different. I've had lots on my mind, but not much time to writ...
