Mixed Results: Unexpected Buffalo Speed
Today I ran the Buffalo Run 5 miler at Pioneers Park in Lincoln, Nebraska for the first time. I’ve run at Pioneers Park many times but have never run this race for some reason. It was an idyllic day for running. Perfect weather for running: (cool, not too humid), beautiful sunrise, not windy. It’s called […]

FollowTech Difficulties & Strapless Running
Well, it’s been a very frustrating, maddening week of unexpected technical difficulties with fitness and running technology. You don’t realize how dependent on technology you are until that tech fails. Then run-tech is no longer high fun-tech. It’s fright-tech! First, MyFitnessPal app (at least the mobile version on my iphone) crashed and “went rogue” on […]

Racing through the Middle Ages…I mean my middle ages… First of all, I hope you are not upset at me blending the Bronze and Middle Ages together. I’m not trying to be historically confusing. But I’m middle-aged and well, more about the bronze… Saturday, I ran the Energy 5k as part of the Cornhusker State […]

Today, on day 135 of my runstreak, I ran a Biblical quantity, 4.13 miles as measured by Garmin Connect and Runkeeper. Ironic: those two measurers almost never align. I was going for a 4 mile run. When I saw the numbers and that they aligned with my favorite Bible verse, Philippians 4:13 (“I can do […]

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to all! St. Patrick is a very special saint for me because 1) I’m Irish by descent with ancestors primarily from County Cork, Ireland (southern Ireland); 2) my middle name is Patrick, same as my Dad’s middle name, my grandfather’s middle name, and my third and fourth grandfather’s on my dad’s […]

Earlier this morning, I was running in the predawn darkness and my headlamp batteries died (ah-the irony of having just written about that in my last post!). The only light I had then was the partial moon and starlight and occasional streetlights or cars (oh and chatty runners, some with headlamps). Once you come dependent […]

Have you ever noticed that your designated rest days are ironically the most beautiful weather days of the year? (For example, I’m usually resting on Mondays, like today, but looking outside, I’m thinking I should have chosen a different day–it is beautiful, sunny, and cooler fall weather.) Does this mean you should change your running […]
