Okay, I did it.  I went for a run.  Actually, I went for a walk and ran a few times.  My goal is to slowly test my leg and see how it responds.  If it survives the break in period, then I will run them into the ground……literally. With the...0December 6, 2011

I get questioned often about any special diet or eating habits I have because of all the training I do.  I know all the sayings about your body is a temple and food is fuel for your engine, but I pretty much eat what I want.  I figure with all...0December 5, 2011

For those of you that are not young ones, you probably remember the Heinz Ketchup commercial and the famous Anticipation theme:   It seemed like the ketchup would never pour out of that bottle!  Of course, in the age of instant gratification that would never survive these days.  And from...0December 4, 2011

I am not a good cheerleader.  No that’s not right.  I don’t mind wearing the short skirt and the little top, it’s the fact that I am forced on the sidelines right now that is killing me.  This weekend is full of races.  Last night was the Reindeer run.  This...0December 3, 2011

Sitting on the Sidelines

I was asked the other day if I felt 45 years old.  I responded that I didn’t feel any age.  The 45 is just a number that is used to determine if I can buy alcohol, join AARP or which age group I will be in for my next race. ...0December 2, 2011

Aging?

I was asked the other day if I felt 45 years old.  I responded that I didn’t feel any age.  The 45 is just a number that is used to determine if I can buy alcohol, join AARP or which age group I will be in for my next race. …

This is a Back to the Future Post.  My plan was to write a post every day for the month of December.  In November, I didn’t shave for 30 days, so I figured I would try this for the next 30 days.  Not a great start, but I will catch...0December 1, 2011

As I wind down the month of November and my first attempt at the Movember facial hair experience, I can safely say one thing:  I really, really need to go for a run.  In case you aren’t up to speed, I was diagnosed with a “stress reaction” in my right...0November 30, 2011

Well, I went to see an orthopedic doctor today about my leg.  He took an X-ray, but it was not conclusive.  Without getting into random details he said it was the early stages of a stress fracture in my fibula.  He wants me to “modify” my training for two weeks...0November 23, 2011
