Well then, we’re just about there aren’t we. The end of the year. The time to look back and analyze and look forward and resolve. Kind of hurts the neck, but it’s one of those things we all have to do.
All-in-all a very good breakthrough year from a running perspective. Some [...]

So, the end of the year is coming and I’m now caught up on my logs and lo and behold I’ve run either 776 or or 780 miles this year depending on which tool I look at and how it rounds up or down or not at all. ~800 for the year may sound [...]

I realized this morning that I was up to two weeks behind in updating my various running calendars. This brings up my ongoing problem of where and how to log runs and upcoming schedules. I am one of those gotta-have-a schedule runners. It helps to motivate me and gives me something tangible [...]

Did 2.5 weirdish miles. Half mile warmup and then a “fast” mile and then a slower cooldownish mile. Not sure why, but I only had 20-some minutes to get in my run because I was picking up the kids from school and I had a mile loop that ended at the school, so [...]

OK, just to clear things up, I’m not into “memes,” those inappropriately-named made-up lists of questions that you answer and then “tag” others to answer. I imagine it’s supposed to spread, virus like, and increase blog readership for all. Yeah, OK. I don’t do them. I think they’re stupid.
And I [...]

I read most of the blogs I keep up with through bloglines. I don’t have to click onto a site that hasn’t been updated unless I want to read some comments (and I do that alot). It saves time and keeps track of all the blogs I read in a nice orderly fashion. [...]

I took Monday after the marathon off. Sounds obvious, but I know that there are many who make it a habit to run the day after a marathon to get the kinks out. Not this feller.
So, ran a mile with Blair on Tuesday. Should make that “limped.” Right leg was not [...]

Here it is! Don’t know who took it, but Scott posted it and it’s definitive proof that I was there and I tailed the big man through to the finish.
By the way, the perspective on this photo is very accurate. I’m actually running alongside Scott at this point, not behind him. [...]

I ran a good race. I came close to what I knew was a wildly optimistic goal. 4:22 was my “silver medal” time and I blew that right out of the water so I’m completely satisfied with the 4:05:45. For this race.
To the guy who ran in only flesh-colored panties, “Dude, it [...]
