RUN like a BRAZILIAN!

Forgive me for my excited exuberance for the beautiful country of Brazil but I ran there virtually today for 12.71 miles and had a blast! This is how we Midwesterners beat the polar vortex-we run inside (in warm, tropical locations if possible) when it’s just...

I LOVE YOU RUNNING

Happy St. Valentine’s Day! It is a wonderful day for loving others and yes, for loving running. When did I discover I truly loved running? Probably when I was in my teens (maybe younger), shortly after a doctor told me in junior high no more football, you’re too thin, you’ll get hurt. I was angry […]

This streak was supposed to end after Jan. 1. Not sure I could do this. But fatigue has become an issue. Slamming coffee. Strange blood blister on 1 […]

Don Quixote will Simply Run This Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  Silly me, I’ve unsuccessfully tried to formulate more than one running resolution but multiple resolutions seem to conflict with each other. So for the sake of simplicity in a life of chaotic complexity and to prevent me from chasing every visible windmill (race, running challenge, etc.) and battle like Don Quixote, I’ve […]
