Turkey Trot

December 1st, 2008 · No Comments

I did it. My first 5 mile race. Apparently running is a lot like organic chemistry. If you don’t practice your skills you are likely to look stupid during the exam. But I digress, I ran this 5 mile race on Thanksgiving morning. 8:00 a.m. and 21 degrees F. Crazy running conditions.
It was a hard [...]

fatherhood and 5k’s

November 9th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Today, Caleb, my oldest at age 8, and I ran the Springboro YMCA 5k. Funny enough, he was the youngest runner and I was the largest runner. He did great. His first mile was a sub 10 minute miler. Then he had two consecutive 11 mile runs. He had a great final time of 32:13. [...]

Audience Question

Joe from Hawaii writes:
Everyone always seems to want to know what’s on the iPod of an Olympic athlete. I’d say running the 1/2 marathon qualifies you. So, what do you say? What are you listening too as you run? What’s on your iPod?
Well Joe, a lot of time and attention goes into the details of [...]

Distance from a distance

October 26th, 2008 · 3 Comments

I have been telling stories about the 1/2 marathon for a week. Yet, today, I realized that I hadn’t shared any here. My 4 fans deserve some of the stories.
The marathon started with little fanfare. I was about 1 block and half from the start and looked for folks who might be running at my [...]

I am a wimp…not a quitter

10 miles. Was due to run 10 miles over the weekend. A more important first Cub Scout camporee got in the way. I postponed and postponed until it was too late this week to do 10 miles. So I had a 9 miler, two of them, that I was happy with. I ran a quick [...]

one mile away from a long shot

October 6th, 2008 · 2 Comments

So this weekend, yesterday to be exact, I ran 9 miles again. This time I cut over 30 seconds per mile from my time. That leaves one mile more for the goal. The reward, a Jeep that I can’t afford. Funny how that worked out huh.
Also..for a check in the victory column..I didnt cheat on [...]

The Endurance Sports Guy

September 30th, 2008 · No Comments

I went to Endurance sports. Had to have my fly new kicks looked at. You see, I bought these sale rack Avias from DSW the other day and they were killing my feet. Apparently in the sport of distance running, healthy feet are a key to success. The Avia’s had this fancy pancy cantilever system. [...]

.88 and blisters

September 29th, 2008 · 4 Comments

So. I haven’t posted in a while. Not witness relocation, just the perfect storm against blogging. In short, I started a new job this month, lost power for 6 days, bought new running shoes and took about a week off of running.
But..here is the update..I missed only one long run. It was supposed to be [...]
