What #IfEverybodyRan?

As a runner who wears and loves Mizuno (Wave) running shoes, I’m really excited to hear about the Mizuno research and movement centered around “What if EVERYBODY ran?” There is a Twitter Chat with FitFluential and Mizuno about this tonight at 8pm Central. See link for more. What do YOU think life would be like […]

Climb Every Mountain!

Let’s talk seriously about mountain climbing and chasing dreams. Sometimes (like amidst a frigid polar vortex) as runners we seek out epic, tough challenges, to dream big, to truly get outta Dodge, “leave town” and take on something that really stretches us. An adventure race. Or at least a great adventure. Besides, running the same […]

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 too cold or impractical to run outside every day. So […]

100 Days Down, please can I have 265 More?

100 Day run streak complete! I did it! Starting with November 19, 2013 and run-streaking to today, with a 3.13 mile treadmill run along the virtual banks of the Hudson on the New Jersey side, this 100 day run-streak is history! I really wasn’t sure I could do this. I knew 60 days was possible. […]

CAN YOU FEEL THE POWER OF REST?

And Now for Something Completely Different…something I know absolutely nothing about as a run-streaker: The POWER OF REST! R-E-S-T, you know that four-letter word that runners love to hate? That word is critical to runners’ growth, development, and recovery. I used to think rest only meant “running days off”. But I’ve learned that the run-streakers […]

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 […]

Boston Marathon World Run

It’s official: I’m running the Boston Marathon World Run on a team–Gotta Run gt–with a friend from Guatemala, Ceci. I’ve promised organizers and my team I would run 485 miles by April 21, the day of the Boston Marathon (along with a small donation). I have 69 days left to run that far. I started […]

RunStreak thru Fatigue

Despite the snowy subzero temps/windchills here, today I’m 80 days into my longest run streak in recent memory (streak began Nov. 19, 2013). How did this happen? 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 […]

SunnySnowDog Sneaux Day!

Happy sunny Snow Dog Sneaux Day! We got some snow last night so our daughter and lots of other kids are excited about their snow-or is it sneaux?-day! Many of us noticed today that God gave us a rare, special treat for the polar vortex blast we shoveled and drove through this morning. At first, […]
