People have been asking, so here is an update. Last Saturday (Sept. 15) I felt pain in my left shin during my long run. I should have stopped but I finished the run. I’m stupid. In fact, I hammered the last few miles. Really stupid. The pain was pretty excruciating, but I thought it was […]
I guess there’s only so many blogging words per household, and the other half, the “long-winded blogger,” has been using most of them lately. I guess perfume on the run is preferable to marijuana on the run, which I’ve whiffed a couple times recently on evening neighborhood runs. Thanks to the overwhelming feedback I received […]
First thing, why do women (and men I guess) wear perfume (or cologne) when they go out to run? Ran by several women on the trail this week and it was overpowering. Not helpful when you’re striding by, gulping for air, and you get a mouthful of CASUAL by Paul Sebastian. Geez, it’s almost like […]

My family left this afternoon for six days in California. I already miss them and don’t know what to do with myself. So I’ve been eating. Just polished off the “Candy Bar Classic” ice cream. Any cookies in the house? Anyway, my first “official” week back from my running hiatus was last week and I […]

I was going to write about my first week back to Gazelles, my official start of marathon training, the tempo run today, the achilles update. But that all seems so lame after learning more about by Grandfather (more on that in a moment), so I’ll save it for another post. I found out the other […]
