Running

6 Years

Last week I hit six years for my running streak. I guess at this point it’s silly to say anything other than the fact that I’m all-in, until circumstances dictate that I’m unable to continue.

It has been an interesting ride, to be sure. On the one hand, it’s come at some measure of cost…

Back to Marathon-ing

Man, it’s been far too long since my last post. I need to get better about that but it has been a very busy year.

Since my last post, I have decided to sign up for a marathon, with the intent of hopefully getting a Boston qualifying time. Now that I am old, my BQ…

Back to the Track

For the past month or two, I have been making a point to wake up early and hit our local track for a workout. I’ve been doing this once a week and it’s not just taken me back in time, but it’s quickly turning into my favorite day of the week.

Run Streak: Four Years!

Maybe I shouldn’t be too overly optimistic because it is pouring rain and I still have two more days to go, but should I complete a one mile run on Sunday morning, that will mark the fourth consecutive year of my running streak.

Naked Sports Band: Maybe the Best Running Non-Vest Out There

Confession: I am a pack rat. I love — make that need — to carry all of my “essentials” when running. These essentials can range the gamut from the expected — water and nutrition — to the superfluous: iPod, GoPro, an extra…
