Yeah, so I ran home from work on Tuesday. Why the hell not? Roughly eleven miles, give or take some parking lots, and 95 minutes total (counting the blessed Barnes & Noble water stop on Brodie), 88 minutes running time. If you didn’t know, and I guess I never really thought about it, South Lamar […]

A lady at church hounds me to write. Not this blog, just in general. “A sentence?” she asks. “A grocery list? Anything?” Nothing, I tell her. “One must always put pen to paper when one is a writer. You are a writer. Writer’s must write.” A Londoner, she has that glorious British way of speaking. […]

I reserve the right to be fickle. Hmmm … Running? Workouts? Races? I think my mileage has been 45, 51, 44 the last 3 weeks. Did a couple of doubles last week before my trip to Colorado to load up and counteract the looming beer and beef and BS. One afternoon I was planning on […]

a few weeks ago i resolved to quit posting my life on the web, including this blog, but elsewhere too. i kept hearing people refer to things on here and say things that didn’t seem very nice. most of them were probably joking, and its my own fault, what can you expect for the narcissism? […]

Seventy miles two weeks ago with some good tempo miles in there. Felt the effects last week and cut the mileage to 40ish. Knob blog was hacked last week. Sold, bought and moved houses the last couple of days. Final 10k trail race on Sunday morning. A repost of an email race report: Conditions were […]

Friday morning’s three-mile run was one of the worst in recent memory. Which is odd because Friday afternoon’s six-miler was one of the best. It’s often like that, this running doubles. One just slogs through, then feels great, then terrible again. And boy did I slog on that three-miler. Finishing in doubt, all achy and […]

Summer of Knob has unofficially begun, jolting to a start this week, not exactly adhering to the tenets laid out. But Knob was tired of feeling slow and fat and lazy, and Knob wants to eat a lot, so he must work a lot, else he tubs a lot. Knob doesn’t believe in the 10% […]

Lounging at the pool yesterday with the family and some friends in the next neighborhood. We notice a flyer that reads “Family Fun Run, 1.1 miles, Free, June 4th, 7pm.” Well that’s tonight, in about 45 minutes. We see people gathering, a table full of trophies. I’m in my flip flops and have no plans […]
