What’s scary is that for so many times I have B&M’ed amout running on treadmills, today I had actually a good feeling while on the rat trap, an almost scarily enjoyable one on a hotel in Cambridge, MA. I’m here for meetings for Thursday and Friday. While a run along the Charles River would have [...]

After a weekend of traveling for 2 weddings in 2 cities, it’s time to get back to the labor of running. I set out to do the 30 minute loop I did last week; a shorter variation of the regular 40 minute one I did a lot last year (this one has fewer hills in [...]

I got home last night at 7:00pm from a work trip to Madison, and today at 3:00pm I’m headed out again- to Phoenix for a wedding tonight and to Denver Sunday for another wedding. Although I thiught I had a solid night’s sleep, my feel to day was really lagging. Maybe its fatigue, maybe it [...]

I ran again. Second time this week– first time I’ve done that in…oh… 8 months? Sunday I did 1.5 miles for first time out, this morning I did 2.6, so at this rate, adding a mile per outing, in a month I might be running 18 miles a day! Ha. I just am going slow [...]

I’m in Austin for an in Monday out Tuesday trip, but there’s nothing like being in a different city to make a run a little better. At 6:30am it was pretty damned dark out. Would this mean having to fight my hate of treadmills? But after a light breakfast, at 7:30 it was light enough, [...]

Well, it has been 2 weeks of blissful non running, the shoes were sitting in the closet, still sporting the timer tag from the half marathon. I’d been doing some self beating up feeling like I had not run very strongly the whole route, and had to wake up and realized that all I needed [...]

cc licensed flickr photo shared by Rev. Xanatos Satanicos Bombasticos (ClintJCL) The Team D training schedule called for a 7 miler yesterday, but I decided to cross train and did my work out playing in the snow atop the Mogollon Rim. Today’s run was 6.66 miles, meaning I did my map measured neighborhood loop (3.33) [...]

I’ve been riding the express Excuse Train, actually, maybe upgrade to the Excuse Jet Liner First class, not running one centimeter since last week’s 12 mile long run. I could hold out no longer, and avoided the Big Train today given it is cold outside (32°F), late (4:30pm) and it was snowing. But I got [...]
