You won’t belive what happened the other day. I went running, and I took it easy… and slowed to a nice 10 minute pace! Yes, you read that right, I actually slowed down to just over 10 minutes per mile. Considering that until the very recent past, that was a extreme speed up, this was [...]
Read More..>>I was thinking this morning that I think the last time I ran a 5K was probably 1993 or 1994. It was “Run of the Mill”, in Mill Creek, WA. Besides being almost all downhill, the only other thing I remember was that the shirt was nice quality, but a pretty ugly pea green color. [...]
Read More..>>I’ll admit…I have an addiction. For years now, when I’ve been out on walks or runs, if I see something interesting, then I’ll pick it up: Money – Usually small change, although I found a $20 once, then actually found the person it belonged to. Pictures – Usually people, but have found pictures from some [...]
Read More..>>Having just had a birthday, I decided to head out to try to run a really long ways…the plan was for either 8 hours or 41 miles, whichever came first. Arriving at the park where I was going to run to find Beth M and Ryan R waiting to do a little bit with me. [...]
Read More..>>I’m planning on a long, slow, really boring run Saturday to celebrate getting old. Plan is to do the lake loop at Little Mulberry Park, Hog Mountain Entrance, starting at 7:30, going for 8 hours or 41 miles, whichever comes first. I’ll be going slow, as usual. (Figuring 2 laps per hour in the second half, [...]
Read More..>>Pretty good month, if I say so myself. For the weight challenge we’re having at work, for the [not quite] halfway point, I’ve lost 9 pounds. I know my buddy lost 6, and a bunch of people haven’t done squat. I feel pretty good, and although I’m hungry sometimes, I dont’ feel like I’ve starved [...]
Read More..>>I was happy flipping through channels the other day and saw a commercial. Imagine this: You see two blonde’s hamming it up in mini skirts. A second later, you see them charging through some woods. Not just any ol’ woods, but something that looks impassable. (Kinda what I imagine the Barkley course looks like.) And [...]
Read More..>>Saturday (Oct 31) was the annual Pumpkin Butt 50K fun run at Kennesaw Mountain. Since I didn’t have all day to be out there, I went to take pictures and get a few casual miles in. (Probably 7-10 miles.) Carpooling with Whit, we had some kinda funny misadventures of trying to get there. Lets just [...]
Read More..>>Gee, I wasn’t going to write anything tonight. Earlier this week, I said to myself “Self, you should do a mid-week post about the coming weekend.” But then, I got lazy and forgot about it. But, as I sit here waiting to make sure the little boy is really asleep, I read Sean’s blog, and [...]
Read More..>>Unfortunately, a couple nights ago, I missed the opportunity to go for a run with Chris McDougall, the author of Born To Run. (He was in town for something, and took an evening for go out for a run with GUTS.) A friend lent me a copy of the book a couple weeks ago, and [...]
