Simon Says...Run

I’m guessing that, when it comes to injuries, I’m no different than any other runner. Whenever the topic of an injury comes up, I’m willing ...

It seemed like there was a stretch of about 6 years where I blogged every day or at least every week day. That’s hard to believe, given how ...

It’s been 5 years since the last time I ran the New Prague Half Marathon. In 2005, I was in arguably my best-ever post-collegiate shape. I e...

Surprise! I’ve actually been feeling pretty good lately. Saturday was my longest run since Grandma’s Marathon last year, as I made it 18 mil...

Against my better judgment, I did sign up for Get in Gear, even though I basically felt terrible all of last week. In addition to feeling te...

It’s been over a week, so that must mean it’s time for another blog entry. I don’t have much to report, so this may end up being pretty bori...

Typically, my blogging goes hand-in-hand with my running.  If I'm motivated and running a lot, then I will post a lot on my blog.  Well ...

It’s probably no surprise that I’m putting the “Endless Season” approach on hold for awhile. I think it’s an interesting approach and I look...

Well, it’s been awhile. I’ll blame it on springing forward for Daylight Savings.  I'm just now adjusting. I’d be lying if I said I wa...

First off, be sure to check out my latest interview . I heard about this solar storm affecting GPS units and other electronics. I thought ...

It occurred to me the other day that maybe my training as been all wrong lately. I’ve been trying to follow the Endless Season approach, whi...

I spent the last 5 minutes staring out the window, trying to decide whether I should go for a run or not. Typically, if it takes that much e...

Quick – I need your help in naming my new dog. Here’s a photo of him. I’m thinking “Mr. Big”. Any other ideas? He definitely gives ne...

Yesterday I was planning on 12-14 miles for my "long" run.  I ended up getting in 16, which gave me 70 for the week.  Even though ...

Last night I pulled the trigger and signed up for TCM. I love this event, but haven’t run it since 2008. (Where does the time go?) As much a...

Of course, it makes sense when following a program named the Endless Season that you would race a lot. The whole idea is that you want to b...

I thought I’d start out by sharing some of my recent “favorites”. This weekend I watched Ride the Divide , a documentary on the 2700 mile bi...

I’ve always said that my body doesn’t necessarily follow the man-made 7 day week. Often it’s convenient to break our training into 7-day cyc...

Typically, while building my mileage in the past, I’d increase my mileage by about 5 MPW for three weeks in a row and then cut back for a we...

I mentioned using a journal (which is different from my training log) and setting new goals each month. I’m not sure if the journal is the r...
