Simon Says...Run

I thought it'd be fun to look back at some before and after photos.  Back in the summer of 2011 I attempted P90X.  Actually, I call it P...

The new experiment that I alluded to in my last post has to deal with eating more of a plant-based diet and minimizing the amount of process...

Given that it's been over 6 months since my last post, I highly doubt anyone will see post, unless they're using some kind of websit...

Someone actually left a comment recently asking if I were alive and running. The answers are ‘yes’ and ‘technically, yes’. Yes, I’m still...

Wow, my last blog was like 3 weeks ago. At the time I gave the following update regarding my training, “Overall, it’s been going really well...

If you’re interested, I posted my final thoughts and photos regarding the Track & Field Trials on the MDRA blog . Since they flew me out...

Well, the trials have come and gone. I can honestly say it was the best sporting event I've ever gone to – way better than I ever imagin...

Last week I was concerned with getting in my 15 miler with family in town. I ended up getting up at 5:30, ran 16 miles, and was back just as...

As if I don’t have enough running-related “work” on my plate, I’ve been updating the MDRA blog lately too. I started to provide a single so...

I probably say this every year, but I love Duluth and I love Grandma’s Marathon weekend! Even though I wasn’t racing at all, I still went up...

Thought I’d start off with a recap of my first week of training for TCM. Sunday - Plan: 5 miles – Actual: 5 miles Monday - Plan: Day off...

With a goal on the distant horizon, I will try to post more frequently. If nothing else, it seems to help keep me motivated. I forgot to m...

Technically speaking today is the first day of my TCM training plan, not yesterday. Pfitz calls for 1 day off or cross training day per week...

Last week ended up being extremely “rough”. Of course, Monday was Memorial Day so I had the day off from work. Wednesday morning was Track ...

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...
