Something is wrong with my foot, but I’m going to run Mt. Bonnell tomorrow anyway (maybe just Scenic). Might as well, seeing as how I’m invincible and everything. I took Monday off because, well, just because I thought I should. Tuesday was circuit and those medicine balls can pretty tough. Somehow I got stuck with […]
Yeah yeah yeah … knob doesn’t write for two weeks, wins a race, and all of a sudden a blog post appears. Blatant self-aggrandizement, and I plead guilty. I’ve had some good workouts the last couple of weeks, including an invigorating solo firecracker, an encouraging 2K repeat session and some ok track sessions, and I’ll […]
I don’t know what my running future holds. I have no plan. I’m signed up for the first Rogue Trail run, a 10K, but beyond that I don’t know what I want to do. I’ve been thinking I sort of miss training for triathlons, so perhaps I’ll do that over the summer. I’ve also been […]
After that 14-mile day last Sunday I took Monday off and that was the perfect thing. I was strong on Tuesday for the “secret hill” and ran with the big boys. Wednesday felt good again for seven solo on the trail in 51. Thurdsay for 1000s on the AHS track and here’s what I wrote: […]

Hanging On The story of Zimbabwe’s violent misrule and national degradation is not a new one. Mugabe, who is eighty-three, came to power in 1980 as a leader of the long and bloody liberation struggle against the white-supremacist regime of Ian Smith’s Rhodesia, and he has always used his hero’s mantle as cover for terrorizing […]
It feels out there. I mean, it’s a major rush. I mean, it feels radical in kind of a tubular sort of way, but most of all, it feels out there. Know what I mean? I ran 16 miles on Saturday (all at once!), my longest run ever, and get this, most of it (13 […]
Wow, I haven’t written anything in a week and a half. Been swamped at work (both at the office and home), but still trying to keep running a priority of course. Don’t know what to say. If you care about my daily workouts you can just take a look at my training log. I will […]
