OK, this is my current 5k pace. Yes, that’s 5k, not 10k or marathon. And race pace could be a bit quicker.
I’m slow, but I make up for it by not having much stamina.
I have been purposely not paying attention to speed for the last few weeks because I know I’m slow [...]

OK, I admit it. I spend waaaay to much time reading other blogs. I do it for two reasons; to research what others are doing so that I can provide something that occasionally approaches originality, and because I’m simply fascinated and in awe at what others are doing out there. I know my limitations. I [...]

OK, I’m happy now that I’ve fixed the calendar. Weeks now officially end on Sunday.

OK, got one. Went to Santa Barbara Running and saw a bunch of vertical and canted bottle holders, and way to the left was this horizontal unit that I thought would be good. It held a larger bottle and had a fairly large pocket that sat above the bottle. OK, when I [...]

OK, I calling it an unofficial official 20+ week. The calendar I’ve been using to chart out my runs ends on Saturdays but, if it ended on Sunday, which it really should, then I ran 22.75 miles last week, right? Right. I normally schedule my longer run on Saturday, but that was [...]

I have been using Keyhole (which was purchased by Google a while back) and am now using the newer version that has been renamed Google Earth to map out runs for some time. Can’t believe I haven’t written about it until now.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go to earth.google.com and read [...]

Today’s run, short by half a mile because I forgot what I was supposed to run, put me over 200 miles for the year. Shouldn’t I be happier about that? Yes I should and, now that I think about it, I am. That’s 200 miles that I did run. Could I [...]

OK, didn’t get out early, but did get out and back in before 1pm. Got the 6.5 done and felt good. You’ve heard this one a million times though, “I had a hard time slowing down.” Yes it’s true. I want to run 6.5 like I’m running 3.5. I guess [...]

Well, checking the old running schedule I have a 6.5 mile run tomorrow. Oh goody. Saturdays are now my long days. 6.5 doesn’t sound so long, but I guess I should enjoy these “short” long runs while they last. They’re only going to get longer.
Gotta remember, I running for the distance [...]

First of all, welcome! You might be here because you occasionally read my main blog and there was a link from there to here, or you stumbled across this from somewhere else. You are equally welcome in either case.
This site will be devoted to observations, random musings and stuff I’ve plagarized concerning running, [...]
